Smart energy conservation efforts recognised

The Airport Authority (AA) claimed the Peak Demand Management Grand Award (Corporate/ Government Bodies) at the CLP Smart Energy Award 2020. The accolade particularly commends AA for implementing a Smart-to-Charge (STC) system for electric vehicles at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA), which has reduced 50% peak electricity consumption in the CLP Peak Demand Management Programme. The STC flexibly allocates electricity to multiple electric vehicles without requiring an increase in power supply facilities. The enhanced efficiency of the charging system has resulted in savings of peak electricity consumption.
