New round of applications under Green Welfare NGOs scheme opens

***************************************************************

     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (October 14) announced that the Green Welfare NGOs scheme is open for a new round of applications from today.

     The Government launched the Green Welfare NGOs scheme in 2021 to support welfare non-governmental organisations (NGOs) to conduct energy audits and energy-saving projects at their premises. Under the scheme, the EMSD provides one-stop services to welfare NGOs free of charge such as conducting baseline energy audits, replacing existing air conditioners with the more energy efficient variable-speed ones and replacing existing lighting with light-emitting diode (LED) lighting at their premises.

     The new round of applications will be carried out in two batches with opening and closing dates as follows:

     First batch: from October 14 to November 29, 2024; and
     Second batch: from November 30, 2024, to January 31, 2025.

     Interested welfare NGOs can obtain detailed information on the scheme from the website (www.energysaving.gov.hk/en/competitions/green_welfare_ngos.html). For enquiries, please contact the EMSD at 3528 6351 during office hours or by email (gwngo@emsd.gov.hk).
