MTR Corporation operates all Hong Kong’s railway lines, serving 1.9 billion passengers annually, while CLP Power supplies electricity to over 80% of the population in Hong Kong. United by a strong commitment to sustainability, their partnership includes large-scale energy-saving initiatives, advanced measures like regenerative braking, and renewable energy integration. These efforts achieved 59 GWh in annual energy savings—equivalent to the consumption of 14,050 households – and reduce 22,423 tons of CO₂e emissions. This collaboration between two essential public utilities shows how strategic synergy can drive significant environmental benefits and inspire industries across Hong Kong and beyond.

The project was jointly led by Professor Anthony Lo, Director of Customer Success and Sales at CLP Power Hong Kong Limited, and Mr. H.K. Chan, Chief of Operations Engineering Service & Innovation at MTR Corporation. Professor Lo brings extensive expertise in building services engineering, green building design, and energy management. He plays a key role in shaping energy management strategies, exploring innovative technologies, and driving the implementation of energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and renewable energy initiatives. Mr. Chan has over 30 years of experience in the railway industry and leads a multi disciplinary team responsible for train fleets, signaling, power, control, communications, environmental, civil, and building systems. His team focuses on system performance, customer needs, capacity optimization, and life cycle cost management, while fostering innovation through the Operations Innovation Hubs.
