The Long Ping Zhongdian Cable Bridge in Yuen Long caught fire and collapsed last night (21st), resulting in a power outage in Tuen Yuen.

160,000 households were affected in the incident, of which 140,000 households have been restored to power supply, but Tianqing Village, Tianyue Village, Tianze Village and Tianfuyuan have not fully restored power supply.

This morning, a large number of maintenance workers came to the scene with materials for emergency repairs.


At about 10 a.m., staff from the CLP, EMSD and the Environment Bureau inspected the site and learned about the maintenance progress. It is expected that a press conference will be held at the site later to explain the latest details.


CLP Corporate Development President Chong Wai Yin said that Tin Shui Wai has fully restored power.

Zhang Baozhong, senior director of the transmission and power supply business department of CLP, added that since the power supply is still unstable after the emergency repair, the instability may last for several days, and it is hoped that users will save electricity and reduce load.

When asked why the alarm system was not used, the Deputy Director of the Environment Bureau, Tse Chin-wan, said that since the incident was limited to a local area, the territory-wide alarm system was not activated.

The Environment Bureau has instructed CLP to submit a report within 3 days and a detailed report within 14 days, including how to avoid similar incidents.
