Exchange.


REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE 
AND SALE OF COAL AND THE INNER MONGOLIA PURCHASE OF COAL CONTRACTS

Beijing Datang Fuel Co. is a specialized company mainly engaged in the business of 
coal sales. It has advantages in coal resources, supplier relationships and 
transportation arrangements in the principal coal-producing areas of China such as 
Shanxi Province and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and target countries for 
coal export such as Indonesia. It has accumulated extensive experience in the 
practical processes for coal business operations over many years. Coal consumption 
for power generation has been increasing every year as a result of the rapid 
development of the coastal power generation companies of the Company. Meanwhile, the 
coal market is very challenging because it is difficult to secure coal supply and to 
control coal prices. The centralized supply of coal for power generation by Beijing 
Datang Fuel Co. to the Company's power generation companies in coastal areas and 
other power generation companies owned by the Company can fully leverage the 
advantages of the specialized company, secure stable coal supply, expand their 
supply channels, adjust the composition of their coal portfolios, and stabilize the 
market prices of coal to a certain extent, with a view to cutting overall 
procurement costs and mitigating the adverse impacts of the coal market on power 
generation companies.

Inner Mongolia Fuel Co. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beijing Datang Fuel Co. and 
is primarily responsible for the supply of coal for the power generation for the 
Company in the Inner Mongolia region as well as the coordination and support in the 
procurement of coal in the Inner Mongolia region for other power generation 
enterprises of the Company outside the Inner Mongolia region. The centralized 
arrangement for and coordination of coal procurement by Inner Mongolia Fuel Co. is 
conducive to the maximization of the economies of scale to enhance the bargaining 
power of the Company; to the sharing of social, human and information resources for 
increasing procurement efficiency and cutting the costs of procurement; to 
enhancing the importance of Inner Mongolia Fuel Co. as a participant in the regional 
coal market that plays a key role in stabilizing the relationship between supply and 
demand; to the facilitation of the application for the allocation of coal and 
transportation resources to secure the supply of coal for the Company's power 
generation and to other enterprises for production purposes; and to the control of 
purchase prices and costs for maintaining and enhancing the profitability of power 
generation enterprises.

The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors whose views will be 
set out in the circular after considering the advice from the independent financial 
adviser) are of the view that the relevant terms of the Framework Agreement for the 
Purchase and Sale of Coal and the Inner Mongolia Purchase of Coal Contracts are fair 
and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a 
whole.

    coal with Coal Sales Co. prior to 1 January 2011.


LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS FOR THE HESHAN PURCHASE AND SALE OF COAL CONTRACT AND THE 
XILINHAOTE PURCHASE AND SALE OF COAL CONTRACT

As at the date of this announcement, CDC is the controlling Shareholder of the 
Company, which together with its subsidiaries hold approximately 34.71% of the 
issued share capital of the Company.

Guiguan Heshan Power Generation Co. is a controlled subsidiary of Guangxi Guiguan 
Electric Power Co., Ltd., a controlled subsidiary of CDC. Coal Sales Co. is a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of China Datang Coal Industry Co. Ltd., a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of CDC. Guiguan Heshan Power Generation Co. and Coal Sales Co. are 
therefore connected parties of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing 
Rules. The Heshan Purchase and Sale of Coal Contract and the Xilinhaote Purchase and 
Sale of Coal Contract and the transactions contemplated thereunder are continuing 
connected transactions of the Company.   

Since each of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the 
Listing Rules) in respect of the aggregated transaction amount under the Heshan 
Purchase and Sale of Coal Contract and Xilinhaote Purchase and Sale of Coal Contract 
is higher than 0.1% but lower than 5%, the Heshan Purchase and Sale of Coal 
Contract, the Xilinhaote Purchase and Sale of Coal Contract and the transactions 
contemplated thereunder are only subject to the reporting and announcement 
requirements, but are exempt from the approval by the independent Shareholders of 
the Company under the requirements of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

No Director has a material interest in the transactions. Connected Directors, 
including Liu Shunda, Hu Shengmu and Fang Qinghai, who are the principal management 
staff of CDC. have abstained from voting on the approval of the relevant 
transactions at the Board meeting in accordance with the requirements of the listing 
rules of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.


REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE HESHAN PURCHASE AND SALE OF COAL 
CONTRACT AND THE XILINHAOTE PURCHASE AND SALE OF COAL CONTRACT 

Guiguan Heshan Power Generation Co., which is based in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous 
Region, is primarily engaged in the coal-fired power generation business. To secure 
the supply of thermal coal, it intends to procure imported coal to mitigate the 
problem of the lack of resources and high prices in the region. Beijing Datang Fuel 
Co. is a specialized company engaged in the coal business. It enjoys remarkable 
advantages in resources, supplier relationships and prices as a result of the rapid 
development of its coal import business in recent years. It has its own need to 
expand the domestic market as well. Therefore, the collaboration between the two 
parties regarding coal purchase and sale could meet the needs of Guiguan Heshan 
Power Generation Co. for normal coal consumption and is conducive to Beijing Datang 
Fuel Co.'s expansion of its business for the import of coal for the domestic market 
to enhance its operational strengths.

Shengli Open-pit Coal Mine East Unit 2 of Xilinhaote Mining Co. primarily supplies 
coal to the Duolun Coal Chemical Project and the Keqi Coal-based Gas Project of the 
Company for the production of chemicals. At present, the scale of the coal chemical 
project is not large enough to consume all of the coal produced by Shengli Coal Mine 
East Unit 2. The excess quantity is sold in the market. Coal Sales Co. is a 
specialized coal sales company with certain advantages in transport arrangements and 
customer and market resources. Therefore, Xilinhaote Mining Co.'s exclusive sales 
business for certain coal through Coal Sales Co. could enable Xilinhaote Mining Co. 
to concentrate on engaging in rational coal production to reduce the cost of sales 
and to optimize its operating results.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view 
that the relevant terms of the Heshan Purchase and Sale of Coal Contract and the 
Xilinhaote Purchase and Sale of Coal Contract are fair and reasonable and are in the 
interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
