Hong Kong has 18 power plants in this atlas, with 10,645 MW of reported capacity (reported for 6 of them). The largest listed plant is Castle Peak Power Station (4,108 MW, coal; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are other, solar and waste. Grid operators listed here include CLP Power Hong Kong and HK Electric. Renewables supplied 1% of its electricity in 2024.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

What does “Vertically integrated utility” mean?
A single, usually state-owned utility generates, transmits and distributes electricity. Prices are set or approved by the government or a regulator rather than by a market.
