The Group’s site in Sha Po North, Kam Tin approved for solar energy system 集團錦田沙埔北土地 獲批建太陽能發電系統 The Group has always been committed to the practice of sustainability. Its two sites in Sha Po North, Kam Tin, Yuen Long, with a total area of about 70,000 square feet, were approved by the Town Planning Board for the construction of a solar energy system. The Group will install solar photovoltaic panels on the two sites, which will generate about 720,000 kWh of electricity annually, equivalent to the annual energy consumption of about 219 domestic households. This is expected to offset about 260,000 kg of annual carbon emissions, which is equivalent to planting about 11,600 trees. Once the solar energy system is put into operation, the electricity generated will be transmitted to the existing electrical power network. The project uses advanced design utilized in foreign countries, and nitrogen-fixing plants are selected to maintain soil quality and fertility, enhancing the overall landscape quality. 集團一直致力實踐可持續發展，旗下位於元朗錦田沙埔北合共約 70,000 平方呎的兩幅土地，早前向城市規劃委員會申請興建太 陽能發電系統，並正式獲得批准。 集團將在兩幅土地安裝太陽能光伏電池板，估計每年產生的電力 約超過 720,000 千瓦時，相當於大約 219 個家庭的一年用電量， 預計每年可抵銷逾 260,000 公斤的碳排放，相當於種植約 11,600 棵樹。太陽能發電系統投產後，所產生的電力將會傳輸至現有的 電力網絡，項目將參照外國的先進設計，種植經選定之固氮植 物，以保持土壤品質和肥沃度及提升整體景觀質素。 Celebrating the Tuen Ng Festival with the elderly and underprivileged families with love 暖暖愛心賀端陽 為長者及基層家庭送關懐 The Group’s volunteer team has been committed to providing assistance to the elderly a ected by the redevelopment of Pak Tin Estate over the past three years.
