Quarterly Statement 2021 ( January - September ) To Shareholders : The operations of CLP Holdings Limited ( the Company ) for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 are summarised in this Quarterly Statement . Hong Kong Electricity sales in Hong Kong increased to 27,506GWh in the first nine months of 2021 , 4.1 % higher than the same period a year ago . Demand improved with the progressive recovery of the city's economy as the Government's vaccination programme and the easing of social - distancing restrictions allowed more people to return to offices and schools . Power consumption also increased due to the hot summer weather . The following table shows the year - on - year changes in electricity sales : Residential Commercial Infrastructure & Public Services Manufacturing Increase ( Decrease ) % of Total Local Sales 198GWh 2.4 % 30 % 419GWh 4.2 % 38 % 416GWh 5.9 % 27 % 47GWh 3.8 % 5 % CLP continued to focus on investments to decarbonise Hong Kong's electricity supply , advancing key natural gas - based projects to progressively replace coal - fired capacity and further reduce the carbon intensity of the city's power generation . Early civil works on a second new combined - cycle gas turbine generator at Black Point Power Station were completed , while work on engineering , procurement , and construction contracting progressed well . The unit is scheduled to enter service in 2023. In parallel , marine installation of the offshore jetty and the laying of subsea gas pipelines commenced as planned at the offshore LNG terminal project due for completion in 2022 , which will bring an alternative source of natural gas to Hong Kong . To explore opportunities of increasing local renewable energy generation , CLP started pre - development studies for a possible offshore wind farm in the south - eastern waters of Hong Kong as the cost - effectiveness of offshore wind turbines continue to improve .
