Solar, so good: Hong Kong’s new landfill-based plant can power 360 homes

Hong Kong has inaugurated a new solar farm situated on a restored landfill in Tseung Kwan O. This facility, a collaborative effort between Veolia, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and Citic Pacific with government backing, is the city's largest solar power installation of its kind. Featuring approximately 1,850 solar panels covering 140,000 square feet at the South East New Territories Landfill, the project aims to reduce carbon emissions annually, equivalent to planting 20,000 trees. The initiative is supported by the Environment and Ecology Bureau and the Environmental Protection Department.
