CLP Group (formally CLP Holdings) operates as one of the larger electric utilities in Asia, with operations across Hong Kong, mainland China, Australia (through EnergyAustralia), India, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. The company represents the largest single asset of the modern Kadoorie family commercial structure.
CLP's institutional history extends to 1901 with Sir Elly Kadoorie's involvement in the founding of China Light and Power, the electric utility serving Kowloon and the New Territories. Subsequent generational stewardship under Lord Lawrence Kadoorie (1899-1993) and Sir Michael Kadoorie (born 1941) has anchored the company's continuous Kadoorie-controlled operating position across more than a century.
The company operates as a publicly listed major Asian utility alongside the broader Kadoorie commercial structure including The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels Limited (Peninsula Hotels), Sir Elly Kadoorie & Sons Limited (family holding entity), and the Kadoorie Charitable Foundation.
