THE HONG KONG STANDARD REPORTED ON 5 DECEMBER THAT THE CHINESE
DELEGATE TO THE CEPSI CONFERENCE HAD SAID THAT A DELEGATION
FROM KWANGTUNG WAS MAKING PREPARATIONS TO MEET CLP OFFICIALS TO
DISCUSS ''CONCRETE DETAILS'' INCLUDING THE TARIFF AND METHODS OF
INSTALLATION FOR A POWER SUPPLY VIA SHUM SHUN TO KWANGTUNG
PROVINCE.
2. SIDNEY GORDON CONFIRMED TODAY THAT CLP ARE MAKING ARRANGEMENTS
TO RECEIVE A DELEGATION LED BY THE HEAD OF THE KWANGTUNG ELECTRICIT
BUREAU IN ABOUT TEN DAYS TIME. THE KWANGTUNG AUTHORITIES HAVE
INFORMED CLP (VIA ONE OF THEIR SENIOR CHINESE MANAGERS, WHO WAS ON HOLIDAY IN CANTON), THAT THEY WILL REQUIRE ONE MILLION UNITS
OF ELECTRICITY PER DAY FOR TRANSMISSION AT 110 KV BETWEEN SHUM CHUN
AND SHEK LOONG. THIS SUPPLY, WHICH GORDON CALCULATES AS THE EQUIVALENT OF A DELIVERED 50 MW AT SHUM CHUN IS REQUIRED WITHIN
3 MONTHS. THE CHINESE HAVE ALSO INDICATED THAT IN THE LONG RUN
(IE ABOUT 2 YEARS) THEY WOULD REQUIRE A 220 KV CONNECTION BETWEEN
SHUM CHUN AND SHEK LOONG BUT THEY DO NOT REPEAT NOT THINK THAT
THEIR TOTAL NEEDS WILL REQUIRE CLP TO ADVANCE ITS INSTALLATION
PROGRAMME FOR NEW GENERATING CAPACITY.
