CLP Clarifies an Erroneous Media Report

In response to a certain media report misquoting CLP’s comments regarding the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station, the company wishes to clarify that it has no immediate plan to invest in the expansion of the facility.

CLP is committed to ensuring the safest standards for Daya Bay’s operations. In the wake of the incidents at the Fukushima Power Station in Japan, as well as the announcement of the China State Council’s directives for comprehensive safety checks of the nation’s existing nuclear power plants, CLP’s top priority is on the continued close monitoring of the developments at Fukushima and enhancement of the robustness of Daya Bay’s safety regime.
