HAECO and Xinghuo Energy install the largest solar system in Hong Kong in the aircraft maintenance depot

2022-01-03T22:18:56.706Z


Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "HAECO") and EcoSmart Spark Energy announced the official launch of the largest solar project in Hong Kong. EcoSmart will invest in and build the HAECO Group in Hong Kong International Airport.


Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "HAECO") and EcoSmart Spark Energy announced the official launch of the largest solar project in Hong Kong. EcoSmart will invest in and build HAECO Aircraft Maintenance Depot No. 2 and No. 3 at Hong Kong International Airport. A total of 3 megawatts (MW) of solar power generation systems are covered.

The total number of solar panels in this system is about 6,000, and the annual output of electricity is 2,877,321 kWh (equivalent to the electricity consumption of 631 Hong Kong households). It is estimated that it can effectively reduce about 1,064,609 kilograms of carbon emissions per year (equivalent to planting 48,795 trees).

The project is expected to be completed in April 2022, marking an important milestone in the sustainable development of the aviation industry.

The HAECO Group and EcoSmart hope to take this feat to fulfill their corporate social responsibilities, promise and encourage the use of renewable energy, and promote sustainable development, and use the income from the "feed-in tariff" as a subsidy for electricity charges, and part of the proceeds will be used Supporting EcoSmart's partner WWF World Wide Fund for Nature Hong Kong Chapter, let more organizations in Hong Kong understand the benefits of using idle rooftops to install solar power systems, and work together to reduce carbon emissions in response to climate change!


EcoSmart Spark Energy will invest and construct a total of 3 megawatts (MW) of solar power generation systems on HAECO’s aircraft maintenance depots 2 and 3 at the Hong Kong International Airport.

The solar power generation system designed by EcoSmart Spark Energy for the HAECO Group uses structural partner Golden Gate Architecture to provide the same high-quality structure as the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate Golden Gate Technology Park and the Airport Cathay City, including: DfMA to avoid waste In addition to materials, it also reduces construction risks and shortens the construction period.

The solar panels use LG, which is one of the most efficient in the market of its own agency, in addition to resisting strong winds and extreme weather; customized wind load design, while having the highest fire protection and electrical safety features, reducing performance degradation speed, and its light coating helps To reduce energy loss at high temperatures, the most important thing is that its reflectance is lower than the 5% required by the Civil Aviation Department.

Coupled with high-standard sensors and the most advanced IOT Internet of Things technology Enerwise real-time monitoring system, it is connected to Hong Kong’s first Spark Solar Real-time Monitoring Center to continuously measure solar irradiance to estimate the performance of the photovoltaic system and generate big data for analysis. Purpose, to ensure the power generation efficiency and system operation endlessly, complete the equipment to reach the highest quality and safety standards.

Patrick Wong, Executive General Manager (Field Maintenance) of Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd., said: "Our vision, mission and values ​​reflect our commitment to sustainable development, part of which is to lead the industry towards the development of renewable energy. Provide customers with In addition to a wide range of aviation services and while operating our business, we also fulfill our corporate social responsibilities to our environment and communities, and promise and encourage the use of renewable energy to promote sustainable development! We serve our customers with safety first and professionalism as the driving force. Of course, the contractor who chooses this solar power project is extremely rigorous. We are consistent with EcoSmart's values: attach great importance to safety and quality. The difficulty and challenge of this project should not be underestimated! After the installation is completed, it will become Hong Kong Solar's model!"

Stephen Ma, Chief Executive Officer of EcoSmart Spark Energy, said: "Our team has expanded many large-scale solar projects in recent years, but the most complex must be this port machinery project! First of all, countless preparatory work lasted more than one year. , The approval process from CLP to all related applications is smooth. The project must meet the development of other airport facilities and the special regulations of aviation security, and the safety requirements are particularly strict. The surface of the solar panel must meet low reflectivity to prevent the safety of aviation flight; structural installation In terms of design, it is necessary to pass a number of safety tests including wind tunnel tests and physical models; in terms of lifting, it is also subject to aviation altitude restrictions. During construction, it is strictly controlled not to prevent the maintenance, parking, take-off and landing of the HAECO Group at the airport. The aircraft causes any interference; the project is very challenging! Moreover, as a Hong Kong contractor who is committed to promoting green energy, our team hopes to shoulder social responsibility and actively promote cooperation between the business community and environmental protection groups. Part of the "feed-in tariff" of the Spark investment project The proceeds will be donated to the "WWF Hong Kong Branch" to promote the development of Hong Kong's renewable energy; this time, we can actively contribute to sustainable development with the HAECO Group, and can also use the "feed-in tariff" income as a subsidy for electricity charges. Let more organizations in Hong Kong understand the benefits of using idle rooftops to install solar power systems and work together to reduce carbon emissions to combat climate change!

"

Karen Ho, Director of Corporate Sustainability, WWF Hong Kong Branch, said: "Thank you EcoSmart for choosing us as a partner to provide practical solutions to the climate crisis. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns global The temperature rise should not exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius compared with the pre-industrial level, otherwise it will have catastrophic and irreversible effects. The Secretary-General regards the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) as the “red alert for mankind”.

The World Meteorological Organization reports that the global average temperature in 2020 is about 1.2 degrees Celsius higher than the pre-industrial level.

The climate disaster is imminent.

We call on the public, the government, and the business community to immediately face up to and participate in, and promote the increase of the proportion of renewable energy power generation to 10% by 2030, and promote a net-zero economy.

To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, we need more companies that are willing to truly take responsibility for society and the environment, such as HAECO Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co., Ltd. and EcoSmart Spark Energy. Climate solutions.
