Completed in 1982 for Hongkong Electric, the station provides power to Hong Kong Island and Lamma Island. It was later expanded several times.[1] As of 2021, the total installed capacity of the power station was 3,617 MW, made up of 2,000 MW coal-fired units, 555 MW oil-fired gas turbine units, 1,060 MW gas-fired combined cycle units, and one 1.1 MW solar power system.[2]
In 2010, HK Electric began installing a solar farm in Lamma Power Station with a capacity of 550 kW, with a cost of HK$23 million. The panels chosen uses 5,500 amorphous silicon photovoltaic modules, which HK Electric says performs better in the higher temperatures and tropical climate of Hong Kong.[4][5]
HK Electric expanded the solar farm to a capacity of 1 MW in 2013.[6] The newly installed panels could generate 40% more electricity than the ones used in the original installation. The total solar farm used 8,662 PV modules covering a total area of 13,000 m2.[6]
In 2021, it was announced the system had been upgraded to 1.1 MW due to replacement of older panels. The solar power system is expected to be increased to 1.2 MW by 2023.[2]
