The project, which would produce an estimated 1% of Hong Kong’s needed electricity, has come under criticism from groups who claim its benefits would be dwarfed by its environmental toll. The plans call for the construction of 67 turbines less than 10km off Hong Kong’s Clearwater Bay.
But the developers, Hong Kong’s CLP Holdings and UK-based Wind Prospect, have slowly built support for the project, both in the public and private sector.
