Save now for better future

Enhance energy efficiency with CLP Power.

Hong Kong sets for bright future if we make sure future generations enjoy a healthy and sustainable environment. In fact, CLP Power Hong Kong Limited (CLP Power), the largest electricity company in Hong Kong, shares the same mission. The company is dedicated to providing the city with reliable power supply and actively promoting energy efficiency and conservation.

This year, everyone in Hong Kong – from enterprises to individuals – can join the drive for greater efficiency as part of the Save Now For Better Future campaign with CLP Power. The goal is clear: to create sensible, more sustainable lifestyles by using a number of easyto-implement energy efficiency measures.

Tailor-made energy conservation solutions
One of the great things about energy efficiency and conservation is that every bit helps. That means even the smallest changes can quickly add up, making a big difference to society and the environment, and also helping homes and businesses to save energy and money.

The trick is identifying all of these small opportunities in everyday life, and capitalising on them. That is exactly where CLP Power’s pioneering GREEN^PLUS Programme comes in.

“Launched in August 2010, GREEN^PLUS Programme is designed to help enterprises learn about energy efficiency,” said Mr LM Chow, Director of Marketing and Customer Services of CLP Power. “It provides tailor-made energy saving solutions and advices for SMEs and nonprofit making organisations, empowering them to save energy and costs, raising their awarenes of energy conservation as well as changing theirelectricity  consumption practices,” he said.

Many businesses have begun to achieve significant savings. At the recent GREEN^PLUS Recognition Award Ceremony, a total of 29 organisations were singled out for outstanding performances in energy conservation. They included SMEs, non-profit making organisations, schools and contractors that implement energy efficiency and conservation solutions. Furthermore, the programme is supported by the GREEN^PLUS Resort and GREEN^PLUS gallery located in Yuen Long and Pei Ho Street espectively. These business centres showcase the latest renewable energy technologies that are ideal for outdoor settings. They are the valuable resource for businesses looking for affordable energy saving solutions.

The business world has always been a major energy consumer. However, today there is a wealth of professional advice – including free-ofcharge information from CLP – to help enterprises become more aware of energy efficiency and introduce effective conservation measures that can reduce costs and protect the environment.

Optimise electricity consumption at home 
Energy conservation can also start at home. “CLP Power has extended its energy efficiency and conservation promotion to households with the launch of Eco Optimizer. The service is now widely used by more than 6,000 families, leading them to more energy efficient lifestyles,” Mr Chow continued.

Eco Optimizer is easy to use. Simply log on to www.clponline.com.hk/eo and input information on home and electricity consumption habits. Eco Optimizer will promptly assess the energy consumption pattern at home, and offer a tailor-made energy saving plan that suits each customer’s needs.

Online means service anytime
People never realise their needs until they seek for help. That’s why CLP Power is launching One-stop E-services an online tool designed to provide a comprehensive range of customer services anytime and anywhere, via electronic media such as the web and smartphones. It can support services such as new customer enquiry, account activation, customer-specific information and account termination. And, of course, it also offers energy saving information, so customers can work on improving energy consumption profile whenever they have time.

The CLP Power customer website (www.clponline.com.hk) has always been a popular portal, efficiently managing account information update and offering appliance purchase and installation tips, along with energy conservation advice. Now, it has been joined by a new smartphone app designed for both the iPhone and Android platforms. Available to registered customers, the new CLP HK Mobile App provides features such as bill and electricity consumption checking and self-report meter reading. As the weather changes, users will also receive comprehensive information on energy efficiency, such as daily green tips, purchase guides to energy saving products, as well as ‘Green Walker’.

“CLP Power will continue to promote energy efficiency and conservation, aiming to help people from all walks of life to learn more about how to enhance energy efficiency, reduce unnecessary costs and save now for better future,” said Mr Chow.
