And Shell has agreed to supply Hong Kong Electric and Castle Peak Power (Capco) — a partially-owned CLP subsiary — with an unspecified volume of LNG upon completion of the city's terminal.   Capco operates the 2,500MW gas-fired Black Point power project in Hong Kong's New Territories, consisting of eight 312.5MW combined-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) units.   The firm is commissioning a ninth 500MW CCGT unit, and plans to bring another 500MW CCGT on line by the end of 2023, pending a successful application for an environmental permit, expected to be requested thi
