Power utility CEM publicly unveiled its large-scale “Powering Forward Green Living” mural at its Coloane Power Station B for the first time during last night’s “2024 Fourth Round of the Long-Distance Running League: CEM New Year’s Eve Run”.
The mural was created by local graffiti artist Lam Ka Hou and features CEM’s mascot “Eco”, the otter, according to a recent CEM statement. The mascot is depicted as cute and approachable and symbolises the public power utility’s commitment to green energy and sustainable development, the statement said.
The statement added that the mural features a high saturation of purple, green, and orange to create a stark contrast. Its background features natural elements and graffiti text, while the flowers and vegetation convey “the integration of nature and technology, as well as the future direction of green energy and environmental technology”, according to the statement.
The statement said that since the “Pillar Box Revitalisation with Art” project was launched in 2017, CEM has invited various local art groups and organisations to collaborate, transforming the exterior of outdoor distribution boxes and customer substations, with 90 pieces completed so far.
The distances for last night’s run, meanwhile, were set at around 8.7 kilometres for the Male and Female Youth, Open, Senior, Master and Invited categories, and approximately 5 kilometres for the Male and Female Junior categories. The “Most Creative Costume Award” was also up for grabs.
