An important component of Hongkong Electric’s vision for the wind power station is heightening public awareness of renewable energy and the important role it will play in our lives and those of our children. To this, we have created an exhibition centre at the site that provides a wealth of information on the nature of wind and other sources of renewable energy, their benefits and limitations, and examples of their applications worldwide.

Wind energy is inexhaustible and abundant, making it an ideal resource for generating clean electricity. For every 1,200 units of wind power produced to displace coal generation, carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by about one tonne. On the other hand, the intermittent nature of wind means its supply cannot be guaranteed to meet specific electricity demand.

At the exhibition centre, visitors can see real-time data on the performance of the wind turbine, including its wind velocity, power output, total amounts of electricity generated and carbon dioxide reduced to date. We hope that by visiting the wind power station, visitors of all ages will gain an appreciation of renewable energy and its environmental benefits. Below are the four categories of information being displayed in the Exhibition Centre for your browsing:

• Wind Power Station – An Overview
• Renewable Energy
• Wind Energy
• Solar Energy
