Hongkong Electric Holdings Ltd., the utility controlled by billionaire Li Ka-shing, formally started up the city’s biggest solar-power project today as part of efforts to help cut pollution.
Solar panels on the roof of the company’s Lamma island power station are capable of generating a total of 550 kilowatts, Hongkong Electric said in a statement today. That’s less than 1 percent of the overall capacity of the 3,700-megawatt plant, which uses coal as its main fuel source.
