Data for Hong Kong 🇭🇰

[gwpicard]

We want to add data for Hong Kong.

Given a report from the Environmental Bureau of the HK government, we know that electricity is mainly supplied by two companies:

1. China Light and Power Company Limited (CLP)
2. Hongkong Electric Company Limited (HK Electric)

We have some national statistics available at https://www.censtatd.gov.hk/en/EIndexbySubject.html?pcode=B1010002&scode=460, and it's also possible but a little hard to find some from CLP and HK electric.

It would be great to find some real-time generation sources, or more data and stats in general.

Monthly tabulated data is available and callable here https://www.censtatd.gov.hk/en/web_table.html?id=127#

There is also an API available, callable with GET or POST requests.

An example GET request: https://www.censtatd.gov.hk/api/get.php?id=127&lang=en&param=N4IgxgbiBcoMJwJqJqAjDEAGHu+4GZ9iScQAaEAfQBcrMsLqAHe6bEAX0oFkfUQGdlXqVabDmNYMulAKIAbAKZgqAVwDOSgE60AnsyUChIAGpNxmDFIkZO3EBqiwWEgExNFKmAG0QAJQBDAHcqABUqACsAezUqADsQAF0HBRgabTUlTiA

For POST requests, use: https://www.censtatd.gov.hk/api/post.php

A description of the API can be found using the same link as above (https://www.censtatd.gov.hk/en/web_table.html?id=127#) and clicking on the "API" button on the top.

I remembered having seen some real-time solar data in the last years, and I managed to re-find it :D Real-time data for a single 0.8MW wind turbine in HK (probably the only one that is installed in HK?) near Lamma Power Station (LPS) ... https://www.hkelectric.com/en/our-operations/lamma-wind-power-station/real-time-operation ... and for a nearby 1MW solar farm https://www.hkelectric.com/en/our-operations/solar-power-system/real-time-operation

However, the nearby fossil Lamma power station seems to have 3617 MW installed capacity and just outruns solar+wind^^

Unfortunately, no more info on recent load or fossil output is give, although there is an "HK electric open data" site: https://www.hkelectric.com/en/our-operations/open-data

Thanks for the input here

I'm closing this issue for now and referring to our main issue for missing countries, if anyone finds any other data sources please place them in this issue!

Found that HK Electric has open some of the data via data.gov.hk, maybe can help to improve the estimation. But as I know CPL and HK Electric are two separated grid.

The "Fuel Mix Generation Data" has a date picker that allows selecting individual days, but the data is actually half-yearly. This is the CSV you get:

Year 年,Period 時期,Gas (GWh) 燃氣(百萬度),Coal & oil (GWh) 燃煤及燃油(百萬度),Renewable Energy (GWh) 可再生能源(百萬度),Total Electricity Sent Out (GWh) 總輸出電量(百萬度)
2022,First Half 上半年,2455,2187,3,4645
2021,Second Half 下半年,2898,2838,3,5739
2021,First Half 上半年,2281,2694,3,4978

The "Renewable Energy Generation Amount" is monthly, but most recent data is for mid-2022:
