Castle Peak Power Station

The Castle Peak Power Station (Chinese: 青山發電廠) is the largest coal-fired power station in Hong Kong. It is situated in Tap Shek Kok, Tuen Mun District, on the north shore of Urmston Road. It was named after the nearby Castle Peak. The station consists of four 350 MW and four 677 MW generating units, with auxiliary facilities. It was commissioned in 1982 with its newest generation unit installed in 1990, currently one of the three power stations that CLP operates in Hong Kong. In 2007, Castle Peak burned 9 million tonnes of coal of which, according to CLP, 4.6 million tonnes was low-sulphur coal from Indonesia. The power station has been undertaking a range of programmes to improve emission performance, including refurbishing burners to reduce emission of nitrogen oxide, SCR (Selective Catalyst Reduction) and BOFA (Boosted Over Fire Air) has been installed, and flue-gas desulphurisation for sulphur removal. This power station is a major contributor to non-motor-traffic pollution in Hong Kong. History The Castle Peak A Power Station was officially opened by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on 28 September 1982. The site was designed with provision for construction of a second "B" power station at a later date. It was decided to go ahead with the Castle Peak B Power Station in 1981. This was built by the Castle Peak Power Company, a joint venture between CLP and Esso. The first two (of four) units were inaugurated by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on 22 October 1986. Ownership The station is owned by Castle Peak Power Company (Capco) which also owns the Black Point Power Station and the Penny's Bay Power Station. Initially CLP held a 40% stake (60% held by ExxonMobil) in Capco. The total power generation capacity of the three power station amounts to 6,908 MW. On 19 November 2013, CLP Group and China Southern Power Grid Company (CSG) announced its acquisition of Exxon's 60% stake in Capco for HK$24 billion. After the transaction, CLP holds a 70% stake while CSG holds the remaining 30% stake. The transaction was said to help CLP lower its emission to meet its target in 2020 by importing more renewable energy through CSG's grid. The transaction was completed on May 12, 2014. Future plans In 2020, CLP installed an additional 550 MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) from Siemens for the nearby gas-powered Black Point Power Station. A second turbine is expected to be completed by 2023. During which, Castle Peak A Power Station Station will be gradually decommissioned, while the B Power Station is expected to cease day-to-day operations by 2035. As of 2022, Unit A1 (350 MW) was reserved only for emergency use due to reaching the end of its asset life.

Kowloon East Barracks

Kowloon East Barracks (Chinese: 九龍東軍營; Jyutping: gau2 lung4 dung1 gwan1 jing4), formerly Osborn Barracks (奧士本軍營; ou3 si6 bun2 gwan1 jing4), is a former British Army facility now in use by the People's Liberation Army in Kowloon City District, Hong Kong located in the northern part of Kowloon on Waterloo Road and Junction Road (across the street from Hong Kong Baptist University). History The military facility was named for Canadian Army Company Sergeant Major John Robert Osborn of the Winnipeg Grenadiers. Osborn was a British-born Canadian who died defending Hong Kong in 1941. He was awarded the Victoria Cross and a barracks in Hong Kong was named in his honour in 1945 after the liberation. Osborn is memorialised at Sai Wan War Cemetery and also through a statue of an anonymous World War I soldier in Hong Kong Park on Hong Kong Island. The statue of the anonymous World War I soldier was originally part of the Eu Tong Sen statuary collection at Eucliff villa. When Eucliff villa was demolished, the Eu family donated the statue in the 1980s to Osborn Barracks in Kowloon where it stayed for 20 years before being relocated to Hong Kong Park. Part of the land of the Osborn Barracks (the east of Renfrew Road) was given to Hong Kong Baptist University for new campus development in early 1990s. The last British Army regiment to occupy the Barracks was the Hong Kong Logistic Support Regiment RLC. After the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong the Osborn Barracks are used by the Chinese People's Liberation Army in Hong Kong. A helipad is located along Renfrew Road. In 2015, Albert Chan Wai-yip suggested that the barracks be decommissioned for more residential space.

Caserne de Kowloon Est

La caserne de Kowloon Est (九龍東軍營) est une installation militaire de Hong Kong utilisée par l'armée populaire de libération chinoise. Avant la rétrocession de Hong Kong à la Chine en 1997, elle était utilisée par l'armée britannique et nommée « caserne Osborn » (Osborn Barracks). Située dans le nord de Kowloon sur Waterloo Road (en) et Junction Road (en), elle se trouve en face de l'université baptiste de Hong Kong. Histoire L'installation militaire est construite en 1945 après la libération de Hong Kong. Elle est nommée en l'honneur du sergent-major canadien John Robert Osborn des Grenadiers de Winnipeg (en) qui est mort héroïquement en 1941 durant la bataille de Hong Kong contre les Japonais et décoré à titre posthume de la croix de Victoria. La statue d'un soldat anonyme de la Première Guerre mondiale lui rend hommage Elle faisait à l'origine partie de la collection de statues d'Eu Tong Sen (en) et placée à la villa Eucliff. Lors de la démolition de celle-ci dans les années 1980, la famille Eu fait don de la statue à la caserne Osborn où elle reste pendant 20 ans avant d'être déplacée dans le parc de Hong Kong à la suite de la rétrocession de la ville à la Chine. Une partie du terrain de la caserne d'Osborn (à l'est de Renfrew Road) est donnée à l'université baptiste de Hong Kong pour le développement d'un nouveau campus au début des années 1990. Le dernier régiment de l'armée britannique à occuper la caserne est le régiment de soutien logistique de Hong Kong (en). Après la rétrocession de Hong Kong à la Chine, la caserne Osborn est utilisée par l'armée populaire de libération chinoise. Un héliport est situé le long de Renfrew Road. En 2015, Albert Chan (en) suggère que la caserne soit démantelée pour faire plus de places à des espaces résidentiels.
