Business
HK Electric Investments Limited (2638.HK) is a fixed single investment trust and investment holding company principally engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution, and supply of electricity to Hong Kong Island and Lamma Island through its main operating subsidiary, Hongkong Electric Company Limited (HK Electric). The company operates a diverse generation portfolio including coal-fired units, oil-fired gas turbine units, gas-fired combined-cycle units, solar power systems, and wind turbines with a total installed capacity of approximately 3,083 megawatts; it maintains a transmission and distribution network spanning 7,047 kilometers and serves around 593,000 residential, commercial, and industrial customers. HK Electric also engages in financing activities and provides smart power services aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and low-carbon solutions. Founded in 1889 and headquartered at Hongkong Electric Centre, 44 Kennedy Road, Hong Kong, the company operates exclusively within the Hong Kong electricity market under a regulated Scheme of Control framework, with major shareholders including Power Assets Holdings Limited (33.37%), China State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (21%), and Qatar Holding LLC (19.9%). Its business segments focus on regulated electric utilities, emphasizing reliable supply with a world-class availability rate exceeding 99.999% since 1997 and progressive decarbonization efforts targeting carbon neutrality alignment. In recent developments, HK Electric commissioned its new gas-fired generating unit L12 in 2024, elevating the gas-fired generation ratio at Lamma Power Station to 68% of total output and achieving a 40% reduction in carbon emissions from 2005 baseline levels. The company signed an agreement with TDK in September 2025 to commence erection works for a new gas-fired generating unit (L13), set for commissioning in 2029, alongside ongoing construction of three oil-fired open-cycle gas turbines (GT8, GT9, GT10) for enhanced system reliability by 2027-2028; these initiatives form part of the HK$22 billion 2024-2028 Development Plan. Further, HK Electric committed over HK$80 million to expand smart power services and low-carbon initiatives, rolled out smart meters across its customer base, and announced a 2.2% net tariff reduction for 2026 to 163.3 cents per kWh, balancing capital investments with affordability. The company released its Sustainability Report 2024, detailing patented technologies for power system reliability and enhanced ESG disclosures.
