New parking meters have sprung up across Sai Kung. They operate from 8am to 8pm, limit parking to two hours and cost $2 per 15 minutes. Find them here: Tai Chung Hau Road Car Park has an extra five new meters. Tai Mong Tsai Car Park (near the BBQ area), Sai Kung has eight new meters covering 16 newly designated parking spaces. Tan Shan Road has 11 new meters. Excited to learn more? The Transport Department has added a dedicated webpage for new parking meters on its revamped site td.gov.hk/en/home/index and a hotline 2332 3700.
Wind Farm off Sai Kung Pre-development has begun on a giant wind farm off Sai Kung. The farm is one of the city’s most ambitious renewable energy projects with a total capacity of approximately 250MW. It is expected to consist of 17-31 wind turbines in the Ninepin island area. The project was originally supposed to be completed in 2016, but plans keep getting blown off course. Now, China Light and Power (CLP) has hired Romboll Group, a Danish engineering consultancy, to work on strategy and scheduling. In a press release issued by Romboll the company promises to help Hong Kong on its “carbon neutral journey”. But don’t hold your breath. Previous plans to get the wind farm up and running have added up to little more than hot air.
