| Power deal with mainland. |
| |
Hong Kong and the mainland
have signed an agreement for
the supply of natural gas and
nuclear electricity to the SAR
over the coming 20 years.
The deal also involves the
construction of a liquefied
natural gas terminal near
Shenzhen. The government says
this will reduce the need for
CLP Power to build a terminal
on the Soko Islands - and the need for the company to
increase tariffs. The
Environment Secretary, Edward
Yau, said the agreement would
ensure the stability of supplies, and help to boost the
natural gas component in the territory's power mix. |
