GREEN ^PLUS School Programme

School and Home Energy Saving Scheme 2015 – Energy Saving’s Got Talent Contest

Over the years, CLP has been making enormous effort in enhancing students’ awareness of energy conservation and changing their energy consumption habits through the GREEN^PLUS School Programme. Through various environmental education programmes, such as the seminars, visits to CLP facilities, energy audits for schools, and the one-year School and Home Energy Saving Scheme, CLP works closely with primary and secondary schools to put energy conservation into practice.

This year, Energy Saving's Got Talent Contest was co-organised by CLP and the Business-School Partnership Programme under the Education Bureau to spread the message of energy conservation to secondary schools. This contest allowed secondary school students to show their creativity and deliver energy-saving message through four categories in microfilm, creative performances, dancing and singing.

The Organising Committee received a total of 69 proposals from 31 schools, involving over 270 secondary students. A judging panel comprising of representatives from the Environment Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, the Hong Kong Observatory, the World Green Organisation (WGO) and CLP shortlisted the final in mid-August. 12 teams were selected as the finalists based on the originality, practicality and promotion effectiveness.

The finalists were invited to participate in the talent workshops and energy saving seminars organised by the CLP, during which they received specific trainings by mentors from the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (Hong Kong Branch) on energy conservation, and professional singing and dance teachers on performing techniques. The Grand Final was held on 23 November and the participants tried their best to compete for the awards by showcasing their creativity to convey the key messages of energy saving.
