Policy Background
The Chief Executive announced in her 2020 Policy Address that Hong Kong would strive to achieve carbon neutrality before 2050. In October 2021, the Environment Bureau (retitled as the Environment and Ecology Bureau (EEB) with effect from 1 July 2022) published the Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050, with“net- zero electricity generation” as one of the major decarbonisation strategies.
To decarbonise our electricity generation, the Government will strive to drive the development of renewa- ble energy (RE) through taking the lead in developing RE at Government’s premises and facilitating the private sector in installing RE systems on their land and properties.
EEB and the Development Bureau hereby introduced a set of measures to facilitate the installation of sol- ar photovoltaic (PV) systems in open car parks (viz.those that are not enclosed) by the private sector (the Facilitation Measures) under the building regime.
Facilitation Measures
Max. 3m Solar Car Port is Allowed
For non-MW supporting structure(s), as a facilitation measure, BD will offer a fast-track processing service for first submission and major revision of building plans 2 to erect supporting structure(s) for a solar PV system not exceeding 3m in height in open car parks located on-grade or on a main roof of an existing building
30 days Fast-track Mechanism
The processing time for approval of such plans will be reduced from the current 60 days to 30 days.To further streamline the process, an application for consent to the commencement of the works may also be submitted together with the plan submission for concurrent processing.
Gross Floor Area (GFA) Concession
BD will grant 100% GFA concession to car parking spaces (excluding driveways) on-grade or at the main roof of an existing non-domestic building that are covered by solar PV system(s) not exceeding 3m in height.
Site Coverage (SC) and Plot Ratio (PR) Calculation Concession
BD will accept mean height of the roof over the highest usable floor space1 of the existing building in determining the height of the building for the purposes of SC and PR calculations notwithstanding that the car parking spaces at the main roof are covered by solar PV system(s) not exceeding 3m in height.
