In 1964, HK Electric purchased land on the island for a new power station to supplement the North Point plant. By the end of the ALC plant development, HK Electric's transmission system had moved through 66kV to 132kV. The plant chimneys were replaced several times, culminating in this 400ft pair. After relocating a set of gas turbines to the new Lamma power station, the rest of the Ap Lei Chau structures were demolished to make room for the South Horizons housing estate. This consists of 34 buildings ranging to 42 stories developed by Hutchinson Whampoa.
