Everbright Water continuously focused on energy saving, cost reduction, efficiency enhancement, and opened up new revenue sources through green measures.
In 2023, in order to reduce its costs and enhance the efficiency of its operations management from different aspects, the Group carried out on-site counselling on project operation (the "Counselling Program"), and construction of the intelligent water plants. Additionally, the Group also launched the "Five Innovations" initiative (which refers to small inventions, small transformations, small innovations, small designs, and small suggestions), and the "in-plant solar energy" project. During the year under review, nearly 50 operating projects of the Group participated in the Counselling Program, resulting in significant optimisation and improvement of project management. The intelligent water plants operations management system was applied to all the operating projects of the Group. Following the issuance and implementation of the Standards for Everbright Water's Intelligent Waste Water Treatment Plants and other standards, the operations management of the Group's projects was further enhanced. Over 20 achievements under the "Five Innovations" initiative were promoted across projects under the Group, effectively enhancing project management, cost control, energy saving, emission reduction, and efficiency. The "in-plant solar energy" project had been implemented in an orderly manner. As at 31 December 2023, 4 solar power generation facilities projects were put into operation. These facilities generated over 10 million kWh of green electricity during the year under review, while the implementation of solar power generation facilities in 10 other projects was in progress.
