FOR HAVELOCK EPT.
YOUR INDUS 121 : HONG KONG ELECTRIC (HKE).
1. I HAVE HAD AN INFORMAL DISCUSSION WITH S.L. CHEN, OF HONG
KONG ELECTRIC WHO HAS BEEN MAINTAINING CLOSE TOUCH WITH DR GOSLING
OF BICC. CHEN SAID THAT, IF THEIR APPLICATION FOR A SITE IS FINALLY GRANTED HKE WOULD WELCOME A BRITISH PACKAGE OFFER FOR TRANSMISSION EQUIPMENT. THEY WOULD LIKE OUR OFFER TO BE IN HONG KONG DOLLARS AND WOULD BE PREPARED TO CONSIDER U.K SF6 SWITCHGEAR PROVIDED WE CAN DEMONSTRATE ITS TECHNICAL ACCEFTABILITY
2. CHEN CONFIRMS THAT AT PRESENT HKE WOULD WANT A 275 KV LINK BETWEEN A NEW POWER STATION ON LAMMA AND THEIR THREE EXISTING 132 KV SUBSTATIONS ON THE ISLAND. THEY SEE NO REASON FOR IT TO BE AT 430 KV EVEN IF THERE WAS TO BE A FULLY INTEGRATED
LINK-UP WITH CLP'S NEW SYSTEM FROM HKE'S MT PARKER SWITCHING
S.L. CHEN SAID THAT IF A STATION ACROSS THE LYMUN GAP. LINK-UP WITH CLP WAS LIMITED TO A RESERVE SHARING ARRANGEMENT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BETWEEN NORTH POINT AND HOK UN (WHERE THE TWO SYSTEMS ARE CLOSEST TOGETHER) AT 132 KV WITH THE NECESSARY INTERBUS TRANSFORMER.
3. IT WAS CLEAR THAT HKE CAN GIVE NO FIRMER INDICATION OF
THEIR REQUIREMENTS UNTIL THEY HAVE RECEIVED A FINAL GO-AHEAD
FOR THE LAMMA ISLAND SITE. MEANWHILE S.L. CHEN HAS UNDERTAKEN TO LET ME HAVE DETAILS OF THE COAL HANDLING PLANT STILL REQUIRED
LE THE POINT AT WHICH THE MITSUBISHI OFFER BEGINS.
4. I HAVE ARRANGED FOR US TO CALL ON S.L. CHEN AND JOHN PEACOCK
AT 11330 ON THURSDAY JULY 6 AND TO LUNCH WITH THEM AFTERWARDS.
