Black Point Power Station
Black Point Power Station (龍鼓灘發電廠) is a gas-fired power station in Hong Kong, near to Castle Peak Power Station, another power station serving China Light and Power.
Built in 1996 near Lung Kwu Tan in Tuen Mun District, the station was built for China Light and Power and provides 2,500 MW of power. The complex consists of two halls with 4 turbines in each hall producing cleaner power when compared to coal or other gas powered plants. The last turbine was completed in 2006.
The station is owned by the Castle Peak Power Company Limited (CAPCO), a consortium of companies:
- 60% by ExxonMobil Energy Limited
- 40% by CLP Power Hong Kong Limited
Since its deployment, gas is provided from a gas well 750 km south of Hong Kong, in the South China Sea. Now China Light and Power has submitted proposal to build an LNG reception station within Hong Kong to make the Power Station capable of burning gas from liquefied natural gas (LNG).
