On 31 October 2012, certain power plants of the Company entered into the       
Franchising Contracts with Datang Technology Industry Company (previously known
as Datang Environment Company). Please refer to the Company's Announcement     
dated 2 November 2012 for details.                                             
                                                                               
The franchise period is the same as the operating period of the power          
generation facilities at which the franchise project is located (exceeding     
three years). The Company had previously engaged Mizuho Securities Asia Limited
as the independent financial advisor to give independent advice on the         
franchise period of the Franchising Contracts in accordance with the           
requirements under Rule 14A.52 of the Listing Rules. Mizuho Securities Asia    
Limited considered that it was normal business practice for the franchise      
period to be the same as the operating period of the power generation          
facilities at which the franchise project was located. Please refer to the     
announcement issued by the Company on 22 November 2012 for details.            
                                                                               
The annual caps of the Franchising Contracts announced by the Company on 2     
November 2012 had expired on 31 December 2014. On 10 February 2015, the        
continued implementation of desulfurization franchising by certain power plants
of the Company was considered and approved by the eighteenth meeting of the    
eighth session of the Board of the Company.

Pursuant to the resolution of the Board, the annual caps under the Franchising 
Contracts for the three years ending 31 December 2017, (i) in respect of the   
desulfurization electricity fees transferred by certain power plants of the    
Company to Datang Technology Industry Company shall not exceed RMB540 million  
per annum; and (ii) in respect of the amount reimbursed by Datang Technology   
Industry Company for settlement of water, electricity and gas costs incurred   
for desulfurization shall not exceed RMB166 million per annum.

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. Datang Technology Industry Company is a   
wholly-owned subsidiary of CDC. Datang Technology Industry Company is therefore
a connected person of the Company and the transactions under the Franchising   
Contracts constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company.         
                                                                               
Since the highest of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07
of the Listing Rules) in respect of the respective transaction amount under the
Franchising Contracts is above 0.1% but under 5%, the respective transactions  
under the Franchising Contracts are only subject to the reporting and          
announcement requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, but are      
exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter   
14A of the Listing Rules.                                                      

FRANCHISING CONTRACTS

On 31 October 2012, certain power plants of the Company entered into the
Franchising Contracts with Datang Technology Industry Company (previously known
as Datang Environment Company). Please refer to the Company's Announcement
dated 2 November 2012 for details.

The franchise period is the same as the operating period of the power
generation facilities at which the franchise project is located (exceeding
three years). The Company had previously engaged Mizuho Securities Asia Limited
as the independent financial advisor to give independent advice on the
franchise period of the Franchising Contracts in accordance with the
requirements under Rule 14A.52 of the Listing Rules. Mizuho Securities Asia
Limited considered that it was normal business practice for the franchise
period to be the same as the operating period of the power generation
facilities at which the franchise project was located. Please refer to the
announcement issued by the Company on 22 November 2012 for details.

The annual caps of the Franchising Contracts announced by the Company on 2
November 2012 had expired on 31 December 2014. On 10 February 2015, the
continued implementation of desulfurization franchising by certain power plants
of the Company was considered and approved by the eighteenth meeting of the
eighth session of the Board of the Company.

   shall pay on-grid electricity fee to certain power plants of the Company. After
   receiving such on-grid electricity fee, certain power plants of the Company
   shall transfer the desulfurization tariffs to Datang Technology Industry
   Company.

2. Settlement of water, electricity and gas costs incurred for desulfurization:
   During the franchise period, Datang Technology Industry Company shall reimburse

   period of the power generation facilities at which the franchise project is

Announcement.

Annual Caps

The annual caps for the desulfurization tariffs transferred by certain power
plants of the Company to Datang Technology Industry Company under the
Franchising Contracts over the Three Years ending 31 December 2017 shall not
exceed RMB540 million (tax exclusive) per annum. The desulfurization
electricity fees aforementioned are calculated with reference to the annual
utilisation hours of the power generation units of certain power plants of the
Company for year 2014, the expected corresponding on-grid power generation of
the power generation units with annual utilisation hours of 5,300 hours and the
current desulfurization electricity tariff (RMB0.015/kWh).

The annual caps for the settlement of water, electricity and gas costs incurred
for desulfurization under the Franchising Contracts charged on Datang
Technology Industry Company by certain power plants of the Company over the
Three Years ending 31 December 2017 shall not exceed RMB166 million (tax
exclusive) per annum. The compensation fees aforementioned are calculated with
reference to the annual utilisation hours of the power generation units of
certain power plants of the Company for year 2014 and the expected
corresponding on-grid power generation of the power generation units with
annual utilisation hours of 5,300 hours.

Historical Transaction Amounts

The total desulfurization electricity fee expenses (tax exclusive) of certain
power plants of the Company between 31 October 2012 and 31 December 2014
amounted to RMB88.58 million, RMB506.048 million and RMB508.2722 million,
respectively.

The total revenue (tax exclusive) from the settlement of water, electricity and
gas costs incurred for desulfurization of certain power plants of the Company
between 31 October 2012 and 31 December 2014 amounted to RMB31.20 million,
RMB144.568 million and RMB146.5140 million, respectively.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE FRANCHISING CONTRACTS

The implementation of franchising for desulfurization projects by certain power
plants of the Company can bring the professional management advantage of Datang
Technology Industry Company into full play, while the operational efficiency of
the desulfurization facilities can be enhanced, the risks concerning
environmental protection can be reduced, and the operational costs of the
Company can be saved. These could in turn enhance the profitability and
sustainability of the Company.

view that the terms of the Franchising Contracts (including the terms relating
to the franchise period) have been determined on normal commercial terms and in
the ordinary and usual course of business, and the relevant transactions are

under the Franchising Contracts are only subject to the reporting and

exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter
14A of the Listing Rules.
