After the meeting, Jiang Feng asked Sun Hongnian to lead him to inspect the power plants owned by Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company.

From the establishment of the Heung Kong Electric Light Company to the present day, the location and scale of the power plant have gradually changed.

The original power plant, named Wan Chai Power Plant, was located at Star Street, Wan Chai. The initial power generation capacity was only 100 kilowatts. The power supply range was Sun Street, Moon Street, Star Street, Guangming Street and Electric Street in Central, Hong Kong Island and Wan Chai. generation, and was demolished in 1922.

A new power plant was subsequently built at Fortress Hill in North Point.

Opened in 1919.

The initial power generation capacity is three thousand kilowatts.

It has been continuously expanded since then, and was damaged during World War II. It was repaired and has been in operation to this day.

However, the demand for electricity on Hong Kong Island continued to grow, and the power plant at Fortress Hill in North Point was insufficient. Therefore, a power plant was built in Ap Lei Chau in the Southern District to supply power to Hong Kong Island from the south to the north.

Hong Kong Electric’s power plant in Ap Lei Chau, Southern District, is an advanced, fully computerized power plant.

Construction began in 1968. The third phase of the project has been completed and put into use. The final phase of the project is left. By then, the Ap Lei Chau power plant will have a power generation capacity of 1,061 megawatts.

Unfortunately, the power plant in Ap Lei Chau is a fuel-fired power plant. It is close to the urban area and causes serious pollution. The public is very dissatisfied.

The Hong Kong government had no choice but to order Hong Kong Electric to relocate the power plant.

In order to make up for the Heung Kong Electric Company, the Hong Kong government gave a large discount and allowed the Heung Kong Electric Company to choose its own site under the premise of complying with the regulations.

Finally, the new power plant was chosen to be built on Lamma Island to replace the Ap Lei Chau power plant.

The group of people took a boat to Lamma Island.

Lamma Island is the third largest island in Hong Kong, second only to Lantau Island and Hong Kong Island in area. It is an outlying island area in terms of administrative area. The island area is about 14 square kilometers. It was originally named”Bak Liao Island”. Later, because the island is located in the south of Hong Kong, its shape It resembles the Chinese character”Ya”, hence the name”Lamma Island”.

As far as Jiang Feng knew, the famous movie star Zhou Runxi was born on Lamma Island.

The power plant is located in the northwest of Lamma Island, with a small place name of Pineapple Mouth.

We chose this location because it is closer to Hong Kong Island and can save the cost of laying cables.

And there are no people living around, which not only saves demolition costs, but also does not affect the lives of residents.

Standing on the high ground, Jiang Feng looked at it for a while, pointed to the wasteland under construction in the distance and said:”Where is what is being built?”

Sun Hongnian took a look and quickly explained:”Boss, that is the third phase of construction.”

“According to the agreement negotiated with the Hong Kong government, the entire Lamma Island power plant, covering an area of 50 hectares, was originally planned to be developed in three phases.”

“The first phase included three 250 MW coal-fired generating units, which were completed and put into use in 1984.”

“The second phase includes three 350-MW coal-fired generating units, one 55-MW and six 125-MW gas turbines. The construction was completed last year and put into use at the end of the year.”

“The third phase, which started at the beginning of this year, last month, is expected to take a five-year construction period and be completed around 1997. It mainly includes two 350-megawatt coal-fired units.”

After saying that, Sun Hongnian quietly paid attention to the changes in Jiang Feng’s expression.

Jiang Feng nodded slightly with a calm expression, but did not let Sun Hongnian see anything, which made him a little uneasy.

As for the Hong Kong government’s willingness to give out fifty hectares of land, Jiang Feng is very satisfied.

Although it is industrial land, the amount is extremely large and will have immeasurable future value.

The entire Lamma Island only covers an area of 14 square kilometers, and one square kilometer is equivalent to one hundred hectares.

This means that the Lamma Power Plant The area will account for one-twenty-eighth of the entire Lamma Island area.

However, the construction speed is a bit slow. It takes five years to complete one phase.

This is incomparable with domestic efficiency.

Fifteen years The construction of the third phase of the Three Gorges Dam is not so slow.

However, after thinking that this is Xiangjiang, Jiang Feng is relieved.

Xiangjiang is different from people in the mainland who have lived in poverty for a long time. As long as the money is in place, they can go to work 24 hours a day..

People here in Hong Kong have been accustomed to enjoying life for a long time.

There are monthly subsidies from the government, so life is naturally not so urgent. Jiang Feng doesn’t want to say anything about this situation for the time being. After all, he has just joined Hong Kong Electric Company.

“Come in and take a look!”

After saying that, Jiang Feng and his team went down the mountain and walked to the place where construction was underway.

The third phase of the project was grading the ground and laying solid foundations, and some flat-roofed factory buildings had been built.

Next to the factory building, a huge cold water tower was standing. Halfway through the construction.

Under a shed on the ground, there were many steel frames. Sun Hongnian immediately explained:”Boss, this is the material for the transmission tower. Only part of it has been transported now. The transmission tower will be built immediately after the materials expire.””

“Um!”

“Has the generator set arrived yet?”

After an inspection, everyone came to the power plant. At this time, the power plant was empty and infrastructure construction was still going on. Jiang Feng asked Sun Hongnian.

“Not yet. I ordered a generator set from Mitsubishi Electric. The order was sent in February and has not been made yet.”

Sun Hongnian immediately replied

“This progress is somewhat slow.”

After Jiang Feng walked around, he came to the lounge and said with a frown.

In his expectation, he would also promote Xiangjiang Electric Lighting Company to the world and compete with the world’s power giants.

Just the hometown of Xiangjiang needs this How can we go out in the future?

And even if it is fully completed, the daily power generation capacity of 3,500 megawatts is 3.5 million kilowatts, and the daily theoretical peak power generation is 84 million kilowatt hours.

But this is Its maximum power generation capacity is 365 days a year. The power plant cannot always operate at full load. Generally, the power generation is between 30% and 40% of the theoretical peak value. Based on this calculation, if the Lamma Power Plant is fully constructed, it will The power generation capacity will reach the range of 9.2 billion kilowatt-hours to 12.2 billion kilowatt-hours.

This power generation will definitely not be enough for Hong Kong Island by then.

Jiang Feng cannot remember how much electricity Hong Kong will consume in the future.

But thinking about it Neon lights every night, as well as the growing population and the birth of smart products, this amount of electricity is absolutely not enough. The local power generation in Xiangjiang is simply not enough.

The combined power generation of Xiangjiang Electric Company and Zhongmei Electric Power is less than With 40 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Base is still needed to transmit 10 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity to Hong Kong.

According to this calculation, after the Lamma Island Power Plant is built, it will not be able to meet the electricity consumption of Hong Kong Island.

How else can the electricity be sent to Macao Island, Macau Island, and Hong Kong Island? Transporting it to Kowloon and the New Territories?

Or even supplying it to Guangdong Province?

When making this plan, the management must have been short-sighted. They only focused on one-third of an acre of Hong Kong Island and focused on the real estate industry.

Now that he has taken over, the original plan is seriously It does not meet his expectations and must be overturned and redone.

Regardless of whether it acquires Zhongmei Electric Power Company in the future, Xiangjiang Electric Light Company must have the strength to occupy the power market in Xiangjiang. If there is surplus power generation, it can sell electricity to Guangdong Province.

At the Three Gorges Power Station Before the construction, there was a power shortage in the mainland, and there were many opportunities.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng originally planned to talk about it later, but couldn’t help it anymore, and said:”Stop the construction of the third phase now, and find someone to redesign it. This power generation is too small and far from meeting demand.”
