Castle Peak Power Station
The Castle Peak Power Station (Chinese: 青山發電廠) is Hong Kong's largest coal-fired power station, located in Tap Shek Kok, Tuen Mun District, along the north shore of Urmston Road. Named after the nearby Castle Peak, the facility comprises four 350 MW and four 677 MW generating units, along with auxiliary facilities.
Commissioned in 1982, with its most recent generation unit installed in 1990, Castle Peak is one of three power stations operated by CLP in Hong Kong. The site was designed to accommodate future expansion, including the addition of the Castle Peak B Power Station.
In 1981, the construction of Castle Peak B Power Station was approved and developed by the Castle Peak Power Company, a joint venture between CLP and Esso. The first two of its four units were inaugurated by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, on October 22, 1986.
Castle Peak Power Station has undertaken extensive measures to improve emissions performance, including refurbishing burners to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions, installing Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) and Boosted Over Fire Air (BOFA) systems, and implementing flue-gas desulphurisation to remove sulphur. Despite these efforts, it remains a major contributor to non-traffic-related pollution in Hong Kong.
In 2007, the power station consumed 9 million tonnes of coal, 4.6 million tonnes of which were low-sulphur coal sourced from Indonesia. The Castle Peak A Power Station was officially opened by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on September 28, 1982.
