Lamma Power Station, informally known as Lamma Island Power Station, is a thermal power station and solar farm in Po Lo Tsui, Lamma Island, Hong Kong. With an installed capacity of 3,617 MW, the power station is the second largest coal-fired power station in Hong Kong after Castle Peak Power Station.

Completed in 1982 for Hongkong Electric, the station provides power to Hong Kong Island and Lamma Island. It was later expanded several times.[1] As of 2021, the total installed capacity of the power station was 3,617 MW, made up of 2,000 MW coal-fired units, 555 MW oil-fired gas turbine units, 1,060 MW gas-fired combined cycle units, and one 1.1 MW solar power system.[2]
