Repurposing Land for Renewable Energy in Hong Kong

The Tseung Kwan O South East New Territories Landfill Solar Farm marks a significant milestone in Hong Kong’s renewable energy development and contributes to achieving the nation’s carbon neutrality target by 2060 and Hong Kong’s target by 2050.

Maximizing land use for a sustainable future

Jointly developed by Veolia, Sun Hung Kai Properties (SHKP) and CITIC Pacific, the solar farm has officially commenced operation. It is Hong Kong’s first solar farm built on a restored landfill that participates in the Feed-in Tariff Scheme. It is also the largest solar power installation of its kind in the city.   Built on a restored landfill, the project achieves three green functions: construction waste processing, landfill gas production and utilization, and solar power generation. This integrated approach maximizes land use efficiency while supporting Hong Kong’s transition to a low-carbon and sustainable future.
