Hong Kong – Scheme helps harvest energy

     The Government is actively promoting the development of renewable energy by helping eligible schools and welfare non-governmental organisations to install photovoltaic systems free of charge through its Solar Harvest scheme.
 
     The scheme has received an enthusiastic response since its launch two years ago. As at April this year, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department received more than 500 applications to join the scheme.
 
     News.gov.hk spoke to a building services engineer from the department and the principal of a participating school to learn more about how the scheme works and the way it helps enhance students’ environmental awareness.
