SHKP Quarterly

Installing solar panels at different premises To promote renewable energy and reduce carbon emission, SHKP has focused on solar energy generation by installing solar panels at various types of properties owned or managed by the Group. The Group plans to install 14,600 solar panels covering more than 400,000 square feet by the end of 2023. Upon full operation, it is expected to generate 5.6 million kWh of electricity annually and reduce carbon emissions by 2,600 tonnes, equivalent to planting around 112,700 trees in one year. As at the end of June this year, over 8,000 solar panels were installed in the Group’s managed residential, commercial and industrial buildings, including Valais, ICC, Tai Po Mega Mall, V City, V Walk, Brill Plaza, Grand Central Plaza and Landmark North. Among the residential developments, Aegean Coast in Tuen Mun, which was one of the first residential projects to install a solar energy system, and The Vineyard in Yuen Long, that has installed 350 solar panels, being one of the largest such residential projects in Hong Kong. To optimize the use of existing land resources, the Group’s construction site in Shap Sz Heung was the first project in Hong Kong to introduce solar photovoltaic systems, and is expected to generate 50,000 kWh of electricity annually for on-site electrification. The Shap Sz Heung project is a large- scale residential development.
