You can take part in the scheme by installing a solar and/or wind power renewable energy system on your premises. Once the system is successfully connected to the CLP grid, you can earn FiT payments.

Benefits

CLP will buy the electricity generated by your renewable energy system at a FiT rate and the amount will be reflected in your regular electricity bills.

FiT Rates

Three types of FiT rates will be offered according to the generation capacity of your renewable energy system:

Capacity of the Renewable Energy System	FiT Rate^ (per unit of electricity – kWh)
≤ 10kW	HK$5
> 10kW to ≤ 200kW	HK$4
> 200kW to ≤ 1MW	HK$3

Capacity of the Renewable Energy System

FiT Rate^

(per unit of electricity – kWh)

≤ 10kW

HK$5

> 10kW to ≤ 200kW

HK$4

> 200kW to ≤ 1MW

HK$3

^ The rates listed above are effective from 1 October 2018 onwards and will be reviewed regularly.

Eligibility

You can take part in this scheme if:

You are a registered CLP account holder (not applicable to government bodies)
Your renewable energy system is powered by solar and/or wind and is located on your premises with a total generation capacity of up to 1MW
Your renewable energy system can be connected to the CLP network without any increase in capacity or network reinforcement work by CLP
