HAESCO Lamma Winds Site Visit Nov. 2009

Scotland has set some of the most aggressive goals for renewable energy production in Europe - 50% by 2020 - and is making significant progress towards achieving them.  Famous for its wild weather and seas, Scotland has managed to embrace these natural phenomena to its advantage and harvest these resources to replace fossil fuels, and taking steps towards becoming the energy exporter for Europe.

Scotland’s ‘renewables’ success straddles energy types, different geographies, numerous stakeholders, and has resulted in an energy evolution that is an interesting case study on long term thinking, working together and across typical silos and capitalising on what natural resources are available.

Of particular interest to HAESCO members will surely be the project finance aspect, partnering agreements, and new technology.  For project finance, if renewable energy projects can be financed in Scotland how can we leverage and apply this expertise for innovative project finance elsewhere in Asia?  How were these projects backed? by international banks, grants, esco, or government funding?

About the speaker
Based in Scotland, Mr Tom Lamb is head of the energy and engineering team of Scottish Development International, the economic development agency for Scotland.

Tom has been involved in the both the private and public sides of this sector for years, and has a rich international background having contributed to JVs, technology transfers, partnering agreements and sales and marketing functions.

At this breakfast he will explain more about Scotland’s renewables successes, from technology highlights, to the government and stakeholders’ approach to making it happen.

HAESCO Social

On Saturday 7th November 2009,  HAESCO invited members, family and friends for a social trip, and everyone enjoyed the junk trip with a difference.

Thanks to Mr Dominic Yin,  we were on board the AVIVA sponsored junk.  Mr. Sam Cheng (HKU) briefed the gathering about the use and application of the interesting Renewable energy technologies PV panels on the decking, and micro wind turbines used for battery charging, etc. etc.

The original lighting fittings were replaced with energy efficient LED and fluorescent lamps for illumination purposes.

Also a heat pump provides water heater and air-conditioning. This is a device that can produce over 50 degrees water for shower, cooking, cleaning and cool air for space conditioning simultaneously. It is considered as a device with high energy efficiency.  It is a new product with capability of generating instant hot water from the system and heated up by the heat energy exhausted from the operating air conditioner.

Aviva cruised gracefully across to Lamma with ease, on arrival we headed up the hill to visit the wind turbine site.  After a briefing from Mr Kwok (HKE) about the 800kw turbine,  we set off down to Yung Shue Wan for a great seafood lunch at sea-view restaurant.

Special thanks for:

- Mr. T. C. Yee and his colleagues from different departments of The Hong Kong Electric Company Limited
- Ms Joanne Chau and Mr. Max Kwok of AVIVA Life Insurance Company Limited
- Mr. Sam Cheng and Mr. Michael Leung of University of Hong Kong
- Mr. Joel Laykin and Ms Pricilla Hui of IPPF
- Ms Kandy Lui and her colleagues of FHKI

And all the participants for a great day out.

In what can only be described as outstanding, HAESCO and many of our members supported the 2009 EcoAsiaExpo event.

A special thank you to the efforts for our HAESCO Event Committee Chairman Mr David Leung (Euro Tech) who worked tirelessly in conjunction with the Federation of Hong Kong Industries, so that HAESCO members enjoyed rental discount and were included in the Hong Kong Pavilion and guide book.

In Alphabetical order, HAESCO members

• EESCO P2E2 Hong Kong Limited - www.eescop2e2.com - booth 5C05
• Euro Tech (Far East) Ltd - www.euro-tech.com - booth 5B17
• Kelcroft E&M Limited (energyLAB) - www.energyLAB.hk -booth 5C13
• Matsushima (Hong Kong Solar Energy) - www.matsushima.hk – booth 5A18
• One Click Technologies (HK) Ltd - www.oneclickpower.com – booth 5B07
• Schneider Electric (HK) Ltd - www.schneider-electric.com.hk – booth 5B01

Honestly, I was so busy at the energyLAB booth this year I had little time to visit every other exhibitor,  however the consensus of other members I spoke with was clear, the event was certainly better than last year.

Visiting Delegation
If that was not enough work for HAESCO, and our members, we also co-hosted a Japanese environmental delegation comprising ten firms who were seeking opportunities, and partners in the environmental sector. Business matching session, and a networking cocktail party were kindly arrange by HKTDC.

In addition to this Japanese delegation, other countries had organised delegations specifically for this event.

HAESCO Booth

Again this year HAESCO supported the expo with a HAESCO booth. We must thank HAESCO members Ecotechalliance, and Focus Energy for supporting HAESCO’s presence at this important annual event.
