The Gold Coast Goes Green with Environmentally Friendly Power-Generation Technology
Hong Kong’s Gold Coast, a popular beach resort area offering a range of recreational activities, set off on its Green Journey at the end of last year, with comprehensive initiatives in place to protect the environment, save energy and support sustainable development. As a part of this industry-leading journey, the Gold Coast is setting an example by participating in CLP’s renewable energy scheme and working with green organisations .
The Gold Coast has implemented a large-scale solar project for the Gold Coast Hotel , the Gold Coast Yacht & Country Club and the Gold Coast Piazza . The project has seen the installation of 914 solar panels with a total capacity of up to 259kW.

In its role as energy partner, CLP assigned engineers to conduct site visits and comprehensive solar assessments at the hotel in order to calculate the sun’s path, potential solar shading factors, appropriate panel types and inverters, and the space required for installation. The Gold Coast Hotel is one of the first hotels to join CLP’s renewable energy scheme. Using 68 solar panels, the property’s system powers lighting for its Grand Ballroom, resulting in a reduction in carbon emissions.
Mr. Robert Kaiwai, General Manager of Hong Kong Gold Coast , said, “The Group upholds a high standard of corporate citizenship, and renewable energy forms an important part of our many sustainable projects. Alongside our various environmentally friendly and waste-reducing initiatives, which include organic farms and green workshops, we aim to promote green education and conservation to our clients.”
