[One-stop Smart Power Services: Supporting Transitional Housing Project] HK Electric has played a key role in the development of Everest Residence, the first Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) transitional housing project on Hong Kong Island, through a one-stop solution under its Smart Power Services (SPS). By providing grid electricity during construction and subsidising electrical appliances, HK Electric has effectively reduced the project’s carbon footprint and energy consumption, enabling the tenants to enjoy comfortable, all-electric low-carbon living while reducing their daily energy costs. As tenants began moving in, our General Manager (Customer Services), Mr. Raymond Choi, and Society for Community Organisation’s Deputy Director, Ms. Sze Lai-shan, visited the premises to better understand their needs. Mr. Choi was glad that the energy-efficient electrical appliances were well received. Mr. Choi said, “HK Electric is committed to supporting the underprivileged and has established various plans under the SPS programme to encourage them to adopt a low-carbon lifestyle.” To date, HK Electric’s SPS has subsidised 7 transitional housing projects on Hong Kong Island, enabling the adoption of energy-efficient electrical appliances in over 250 units, and supplying grid-electricity to construction sites to help save energy and cut carbon emissions. These projects are expected to accommodate around 800 people.
