Enigin News - Hong Kong Government Funding Available For Energy Efficiency

Hong Kong’s Secretary for the Environment Edward Yau revealed that the HK Government is carrying out a climate change consultancy study and that they already have funds for energy efficiency improvements.

Measures that are already being implemented include the provision of $450 million under the Environment & Conservation Fund to roll out the Buildings Energy Efficiency Funding Schemes next month.

Yau told HK’s lawmakers that action is already being taken to enhance Hong Kong's overall energy efficiency.

"To date, 300 applications have been approved, and upon completion of the energy-efficiency improvement projects there shall be an annual reduction of 43 million kWh in electricity usage - a reduction of over 30,000 tonnes of carbon-dioxide emissions,” Yau said.

Enigin, through their Distributors, are able to help organisations in the private and public sectors to benefit from governmental incentives such as this one and advise and provide the right technologies to help them save energy, save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The aforementioned consultancy study will assess the likely affect of climate change on Hong Kong, outlining options to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly through energy efficiency, and adapt to climate change.
