The Castle Peak Power Station (Chinese: 青山發電廠) is the largest coal-fired power station in Hong Kong. It is situated in Tap Shek Kok [yue; ceb; sv], Tuen Mun District, on the north shore of Urmston Road. It was named after the nearby Castle Peak. The station consists of four 350 MW and four 677 MW generating units, with auxiliary facilities.^[2]

It was commissioned in 1982 with its newest generation unit installed in 1990, currently one of the three power stations that CLP operates in Hong Kong.

In 2007, Castle Peak burned 9 million tonnes of coal of which, according to CLP, 4.6 million tonnes was low-sulphur coal from Indonesia. The power station has been undertaking a range of programmes to improve emission performance, including refurbishing burners to reduce emission of nitrogen oxide, SCR (Selective Catalyst Reduction) and BOFA (Boosted Over Fire Air) has been installed, and flue-gas desulphurisation for sulphur removal. This power station is a major contributor to non-motor-traffic pollution in Hong Kong.
