Project Scope

A total of 144 solar panels were installed on the rooftop of the Bishop Hall Jubilee School campus with a total capacity of 50 kW. It is projected that the system will produce 57,000 kWh of electricity each year, equivalent to the monthly electricity consumption of 160 four-person households, generating annual tariff revenues of HK$230,000. The reduction in carbon dioxide emission resulting from this solar project will be 28,500 kg per annum, equivalent to 1,240 trees planted.


 

The solar panel system is supplying electricity throughout the territory, through the connection to the CLP grid. Under the scheme, CLP will pay for our generated electricity at a rate much higher than their selling price, at least for the next 15 years.

Project Funding

Dr. Lee Yui Bor, an alumnus graduated in 1965, who is also our IMC manager, fully funds the project and oversees the technical aspect of the work.

He wishes that the revenue generated from the FiT Scheme will be used to

1. provide funding for the Mrs. Helen Wong Memorial Scholarship and the Mr. Chan Chee Yum Scholarship.
2. provide financial assistance to our needy students.
3. support our environmental and STEM education.

The above two scholarships were set up by Dr. Lee, helping a lot of Jubileans for many years.

We sincerely thank Dr. Lee for his tremendous contributions to our school.
