As a result of slowdown of economic growth, decline on the growth of the 
total power utilization level from the whole society, as well as the plan of 
the Group to carry out maintenance of power generation units, the power 
generation by thermal power generation units of the Group declined by 
approximately 4% on a year-to-year basis; as there was an increase in inflow 
water in the basin where the power generation units of the Group are 
situated, the Group's hydropower generation increased by approximately 34% on 
a year-to-year basis; as the capacity of the Group's wind power generation 
units were increased on a year-on-year basis and their efficiency were 
enhanced, the Group's wind power generation increased by approximately 58% on 
a year-to-year basis.
