Members of the Legislative Council Panel on Environmental Affairs visited Hongkong Electric's Intelligent Operations and Emergency Responses Centre in North Point on November 10, according to a LegCo Secretariat statement issued the same day. The centre, established in June, consolidates monitoring platforms previously scattered across departments, and uses an AI-enabled remote system to monitor about 50 substations in real time, allowing engineering teams to predict flooding risks and respond to abnormal situations.

Members also discussed strengthening overall supply reliability, locating faulty cables more accurately and restoring power more efficiently. On decarbonisation, they were told that a new gas-fired generating unit, L13, is planned for operation in 2029, which would raise natural gas's share of output to about 80 per cent from the current 70 per cent. The company also described environmental measures at Lamma Power Station, including planting native trees to attract birds and using technology to limit impacts on nearby water bodies and marine life. The visit ended at HK Electric's Customer Centre. A total of 14 members and non-members of the Panel took part.
