HONG KONG SAR, 13 January 2023 – Cornerstone Technologies Holdings Limited (“the Group” or “Cornerstone Technologies”; Hong Kong stock code: 8391) is thrilled to announce that its first construction of EV charging-enabling infrastructure (“The Project”), under the EV-charging at Home Subsidy Scheme (“EHSS”), has been successfully completed.
The Project is located at The Regalia in Ho Man Tin, which is the first successful application under EHSS. Leverage our expertise in EV-charging solutions, Cornerstone Technologies was appointed as the contractor of the Project. Our team went through the whole project journey — from application for the EHSS, on-site survey and planning, consulting, EV-charging infrastructure design, construction and installation, power supply testing, through to acceptance inspections. 302 parking spaces with EV charging-enabling infrastructure have been equipped, with a coverage rate of 100%, making it the largest project of its kind in Hong Kong so far. Those parking spaces are “100% EV Ready” that can be installed with EV-chargers at anytime. Moreover, the Group will later provide suggestions and recommendations of EV-chargers to residents and further encourage them to become low-carbon drivers.
Mr Liang Zihao, Co-Chairman and Executive Director of Cornerstone Technologies, said, “The completion of the Project thanks to the recognition from Environmental Protection Department, the property management company and incorporated owners of The Regalia, as well as the close and effective communication between different stakeholders and Cornerstone Technologies. We have also received positive feedbacks from the partners, incorporated owners and residents. The completion of this Project not only marks an important milestone in Cornerstone Technologies’s commitment to promoting sustainable development, but also demonstrates our capability to undertake large-scale projects.”
Dr Kenneth Leung Kai Ming, Principal Assistant Secretary (Air Policy) of Environment and Ecology Bureau, said “The Regalia is the first successful application and launched project in Hong Kong, various difficulties and challenges were encountered throughout the process. As a result of the rich experience of the contractor, the Project was successfully completed in a short period of time. This Project is currently the largest EHSS project, and its completion is an important step towards carbon neutrality of Hong Kong.”
