Nuclear power will play the largest role in decarbonizing Hong Kong’s energy sector because of its reliability, according to the city’s top electricity provider.
CLP Holdings Ltd. plans to import increasing amounts of clean electricity from mainland China to help Hong Kong meet its goal of making 60%-70% of its energy carbon-free by 2035, Chief Executive Officer T.K. Chiang said in an interview with Bloomberg Television. The majority of that will come from nuclear plants because it’s more reliable than intermittent generation from wind and solar farms, he said.
