CLP Holdings announced its mid-year performance from January 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024. Operating profit increased by 22.0% to HKD 568.3 million before fair value changes, mainly due to the stable performance of the group's various businesses and the improved profitability of EnergyAustralia. Total profit increased to HKD 595.1 million, and comprehensive income increased slightly by 1.8% to HKD 44,086.0 million. The board of directors announced a second interim dividend of HKD 0.63 per share, the same as in 2023. During the period, CLP focused on investing in low-carbon energy solutions and celebrated an important milestone in close ties with mainland China. The mainland China business was affected by the shutdown and overhaul of nuclear power plants, but investments in renewable energy projects grew steadily. CLP will continue to deepen cooperation with Guangdong Province and promote the development of low-carbon energy in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
