29 April 2025 -  Relocation to Kai Tak Symbolises Commitment to Hong Kong

The CLP Group yesterday celebrated the grand opening of its new headquarters in the site of the former Kai Tak airport, underscoring the Group’s support to the Hong Kong SAR’s vision to develop the historic area into a vibrant community.

CLP is the first corporate that has established a headquarters building in the revitalised district,  where the new Kai  Tak  Sports  Park is  also  located. The building, one  of the city’s  greenest, serves  to support  CLP in  its  next  stage  of  growth as  the  energy transition generates promising opportunities for the Group.

Hosted  by CLP  Holdings  Chairman  the  Honourable  Sir  Michael  Kadoorie, the grand opening  ceremony  was officiated  by Secretary  for  Environment  and Ecology of the Hong Kong SAR the Honourable Mr Tse Chin-wan, Deputy Commissioner of the Office of  the  Commissioner of the  Ministry  of  Foreign  Affairs of  the  People’s  Republic  of China  in  the  Hong Kong SAR Mr  Li  Yongsheng and  Deputy  Director-General  of  the Department  of  Economic  Affairs  of  the Liaison  Office  of  the  Central  People’s Government in the Hong Kong SAR Mr Lyu Feng.

CLP Holdings Chairman the Honourable Sir Michael Kadoorie said: “Like Kai Tak, CLP’s roots in Hong Kong run deep, as we have powered this great city since 1901, lighting up  homes,  driving  business  growth  and  fuelling  its  prosperity. The new  CLP Headquarters is a symbol of our confidence in Hong Kong and our commitment to its future. It is a living embodiment of our purpose: to Power Brighter Tomorrows.”

Secretary for Environment and Ecology of the Hong Kong SAR the Honourable Mr Tse Chin-wan said: “I  would  like  to  congratulate CLP  on  the  grand opening of  the  new headquarters,  a  development  with  cutting-edge  sustainable  design  that  aligns  with the SAR Government’s Climate Action Plan. This building underscores CLP’s leadership in  transforming  infrastructure  into  a  catalyst  for  decarbonisation – proving  that economic growth and environmental stewardship can thrive hand-in-hand.”

The architecture of the new CLP Headquarters is inspired by traditional oriental design elements  including  the  Chinese  folding  screen  and sailing  junk, encapsulating Hong Kong’s unique East-meets-West character. The design of the  10-storey building is testament  to the  Group’s commitment  to  the  rich heritage of Hong  Kong  while embracing the future.

The new headquarters, which provides flexible workspaces for around 1,000 people,is also a showcase of CLP’s commitment to sustainability. The use of highly efficient water  fixtures  enables the  building  to  reduce  indoor  water  use  by  more  than  50%compared  to  the  baseline  of  the  Leadership  in  Energy  and Environmental  Design (LEED).  Environmental  materials  including  high-performance  glazing  and  carbon-negative  carpets  made  with  recycled  materials are  used  throughout  the  new headquarters,  contributing  to  a  25%  reduction  in  carbon  emissions  compared  to standards set by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department. With the use of these innovative  technologies,  the  new  CLP Headquarters has  been provisionally accredited with platinum-level environmental certifications including LEED, the WELL Building Standard and BEAM Plus.
