Technical Visit on CLP Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station
5 August 2017
Guangdong Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station is the first nuclear power station commercial scale built in the Chinese Mainland. Daya Bay makes use of French reactor technology and British turbine-generator equipment, providing an installed capacity of 1,968 MW. Since the beginning of commercial operation in 1994, it has been generating typically over 14 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. 70% of the electricity is supplied to Hong Kong and the balance to Guangdong province. The electricity produced by Daya Bay saves Hong Kong each year some 7.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, some ten thousands tonnes of sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, as well as hundreds of tonnes of airborne particulates that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere by fossil fuel generation.

3 Tong Tak Street, Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong
(3‐minute walk from the Tseung Kwan O MTR Station, Exit C)
INTRODUCTION
The pace and scale of urbanization bring new challenges to many Governments around the world and
the city is at the centre of the change. The need for a coordinated and innovative effort by both the
public and private sectors to fulfil infrastructure and socio‐economic needs in a systematic and
sustainable manner while tackling the important subjects such as climate change, resource efficiency,
biodiversity and quality of life issues is of paramount importance. The environmental management
and engineering profession has a significant role to play that will shape the future of the development.
This forum aims to provide a platform for professionals and academics in the environmental
management and engineering industry to gain further insights on the latest practices and development
of technologies that are required for the development of a World‐Class city, and to share local and
overseas experiences and stimulate initiatives that could further reinforce Hong Kong’s status as a
World City.
The forum comprises the keynote session and three other sessions: 1) Evolving Role of Environmental
Professionals in Urban, Public Projects, Strategic Plans and Good Governance; 2) Engineering and
Managing Adaptive Sustainable Responses for Managing Hong Kong’s Bio‐Capacity: Challenges and
Opportunities; and 3) Potential Contribution of Environmental Leaders to Hong Kong’s Economic
Diversification and Sustainable Growth. The forum will bring together professional engineers,
professionals, experts, academics and industry stakeholders to share their knowledge, experiences and
insights on the subjects to be covered by the Annual Environmental Forum.
