REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE CAPACITY EXPANSION AND MODIFICATION CONTRACT

According to the annual technological transformation plan of the Company, the Company invited

units of its power plants. After carrying out relevant evaluation procedures and considering 
various factors, including the fee quotation, technical experiences, professional qualification, 
business reputation, project management skills, consideration amount and other relevant factors

selected as the tender winner for the project on the capacity expansion and modification for the 
generating units of Linfen Thermal Power Company.

Datang Technologies and Engineering Company possesses sufficient qualifications with adequate 
expertise in carrying out the capacity expansion and modification for the power generating units.
