The scope of the Project involves the phased construction and operation of up to two additional combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) units (with an installed capacity of up to 1,200 MW) at the BPPS. The additional generation units will be of CCGT configuration using natural gas as the primary fuel. It is a Designated Project under the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (Cap. 499) (EIAO). The current EM&A Programme includes both the CCGT Units No. 1 and No. 2.
An EIA of the Additional Gas-fired Generation Units Project was prepared in accordance with the EIA Study Brief (No. ESB-286/2015) and the Technical Memorandum of the Environmental Impact Assessment Process (EIAO-TM) and submitted under the EIAO in February 2016. Subsequent to the approval of the EIA (EIAO Register Number AEIAR-197/2016), an Environmental Permit (EP-507/2016) (EP) for CCGT Unit No. 1 was granted by the Director of Environmental Protection (DEP) on 14 June 2016. An Application for Variation of an Environmental Permit (No. VEP-531/2017) was submitted to EPD on 28 July 2017 and the Variation of Environmental Permit (No. EP-507/2016/A) was granted on 21 August 2017. A FEP (FEP-02/507/2016/B) was granted to the Contractor, Leighton Contractors (Asia) Limited, of the CCGT Unit No. 1 on 13 September 2017.
Applications for Variation of Environmental Permit (EP-507/2016/A) and variation of Further Environmental Permit (FEP-02/507/2016/A) were submitted to EPD on 29 October 2018. The Variation of Environmental Permit (No. EP-507/2016/B) and variation of Further Environmental Permit (No. FEP-02/507/2016/B) were granted on 22 November 2018.
An application for Variation of Environmental Permit (No. VEP-575/2020) was submitted to EPD on 30 March 2020 to include CCGT Unit No. 2 and the Variation of Environmental Permit (EP-507/2016/C) was granted on 27 April 2020.
The Contractor, Leighton Contractors (Asia) Limited, has completed the civil works of CCGT Unit No. 1 in June 2020. The application for surrender of FEP (FEP-02/507/2016/B) was submitted to EPD on 16 July 2020.
Application for Further Environmental Permit (FEP-201/2020) was submitted to EPD on 3 August 2020 and the Further Environmental Permit (FEP-03/507/2016/C) was granted to the Contractor, Gammon Engineering & Construction Company Limited, of the CCGT Unit No. 2 on 28 August 2020.
The proposed location for the Project is within the existing boundaries of the BPPS site. The size of the land reserved for the additional generation units and the associated facilities (the Project Site) is about 55,320 m2. Commissioning works for CCGT Unit No.1 and construction works for CCGT Unit No.2 are currently ongoing at the Project Site. The construction of CCGT Unit No. 1 was completed on 31 May 2021.
The location plan of key Project components for CCGT Units No. 1 and No. 2 is shown in Appendix A.
The construction of CCGT Unit No. 1 was completed on 31 May 2021. The site photographic records on the completion of construction works are shown in Appendix B.

The waste generated from this Project includes inert construction and demolition (C&D) materials, and non-inert C&D materials. Non-inert C&D materials are made up of general refuse and recyclable wastes such as plastics and paper/cardboard packaging waste. Steel materials generated from the project are also grouped into non-inert C&D materials as the materials were not disposed of with other inert C&D materials.
With reference to relevant handling records and trip tickets of CCGT Unit No. 1, the quantities of different types of waste generated in the reporting period are summarised in Table 5.1. Details of waste management data are presented in Appendix F1.
