The Project
“The Project” refers to the development of the proposed 200MW Hong Kong Offshore
Wind Farm (HKOWF) in Southeastern Waters of the HKSAR.
“The Project” refers to the development of the proposed 200MW Hong Kong Offshore
Wind Farm (HKOWF) in Southeastern Waters of the HKSAR.
Key Benefits
The Project would become Hong Kong's primary indigenous energy source and
represents approximately 1% of the total generating capacity of HKSAR.
The Project would also provide significant benefits to local air quality since a wind farm
produces clean energy and the energy generated would offset local emissions. Every
year of operation the project would offset approximately:
Since the energy required to build a wind farm is typically recovered in the first 6-12
months of operation[1], the project would have a net positive impact on global warming.

The Project would also provide significant benefits to local air quality since a wind farm

year of operation the project would offset approximately:
- 343,000 - 383,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide;
- 54 - 60 tonnes of sulphur dioxide;
- 394 - 440 tonnes of nitrogen oxides; and
- 14 - 16 tonnes of particulate material.

months of operation[1], the project would have a net positive impact on global warming.
