Electricity is an indispensable part of modern life. Electrical and Mechanical (E&M) professionals play a vital role in maintaining a safe and reliable power supply. With Hong Kong's rapid growth and a host of large-scale infrastructure developments planned for the coming decades, as well as supporting the Government's goal in transforming the city into an innovation and technology hub and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, E&M professionals are well placed for great career prospects and job opportunities. CLP Power is also facilitating local renewable energy development through the Feed-in Tariff scheme, rolling out new energy efficiency initiatives, supporting the adoption of electric vehicles, rolling out various digital applications, such as installing smart meters for customers, and planning to further increase low carbon electricity supply by increasing gas-fired generation and importing zero-carbon energy. These projects would further increase the demand for skilled E&M professionals and provide promising development opportunities in various new technological areas. Organisations in the industry are also offering a wide range of job and career advancement opportunities to support Hong Kong's power engineering projects.
