CLPe Holdings (CLPe), CLP Group’s wholly-owned subsidiary, recently signed a Cooperation Framework Agreement with China National Offshore Oil Company Guangdong Water Transport Clean Energy Company Limited (CNOOC) on the formation of a joint venture to provide liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel bunkering services in the port of Hong Kong.
Under the agreement between CLPe and CNOOC, the planned joint venture will sell and supply LNG as bunker fuel to ships in the port of Hong Kong, supporting the development of the LNG fuel bunkering sector in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and further consolidating Hong Kong’s position as a leading international maritime centre.
Separately, CLPe signed an agreement to extend its partnership with TELD New Energy Company Limited (TELD) on electric vehicle (EV) charging and other innovative energy services in the GBA.
“The two agreements will bring together the industry-leading expertise and experience of CLP and our partners to enable the transportation sector’s low-carbon development in the GBA, aligning with the Action Plan on Green Maritime Fuel Bunkering recently issued by the Hong Kong Government, which promotes the city’s growth as a high-quality green maritime fuel bunkering centre to steer the shipping industry’s smart and green transformation,” said CLP Holdings Limited Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director T.K. Chiang.
Hong Kong-listed CLP Holdings Limited is the holding company for the CLP Group, which has a diversified portfolio of generating assets that uses a wide range of fuels including coal, gas, nuclear and renewable sources
“The superior capabilities of CNOOC and TELD will help CLP expand our energy infrastructure and solutions business in the GBA, and deliver the best technologies and services to LNG fuel bunkering and EV charging customers.”
