The Company’s 5 Biomass Energy Power Plants (250MW)’s Potential Profitability

Government Policy Supports

-- The municipal government has approved China Holdings/China Power to

build, own and operate the 5 Biomass Waste to Energy Power

Plants/facilities (5 x 50 = 250 MW) for over 30 years, with additional

renewable terms/years.

-- The Central Chinese Government, provincial and local municipal

governments have enacted new legislation and brought in new regulations

for both the effective disposal of agricultural and forestry waste and

the efficient use of renewable energy resources, such as crop straw and

bush. Under the recently introduced legislation and regulations, State

owned electricity grids now must purchase all electricity produced by

renewable energy projects. The purchase price is also 0.25 RMB/Yuan

higher than the normal electricity sale price for coal-fired power

plants. This new legislation and the new regulations have therefore

made it both possible and profitable for private investment in the

biomass waste to energy projects.

-- Law: The Renewable Energy Law was passed by the People’s Congress of

China on February 28, 2005 and came into force on January 1, 2006.

-- Tax Benefits: To encourage the construction of renewable energy

Projects, the Chinese Central Government has introduced a series of tax

exemptions, incentives and tax holiday privileges.

-- Electricity Price: To ensure the construction and development of

Renewable energy projects, the National Reform and Development

Committee has set the standard electricity price for renewable energy

0.25Yuan/KWH higher than the local average grid connection price. This

is approximately 40% higher than the local average. Additionally,

there is a supervision system to ensure full purchase and payment of

all Renewable energy produced.

-- Carbon Credits: The Chinese Government allows qualifying joint venture

Plants to trade Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) credits. These can

be traded in advance of Plant construction at around US$ 10-15/ton or

at a much higher value if traded after construction is completed.

The characteristics of the China Holdings/China Power’s each biomass waste to energy power plant/project (50 MW):

1. Size: 1240 tons-per-day

2. Annual waste disposed: 409,200 tons

3. Construction period: 24 months

4. Operating period: 30 years

5. Power Capacity: 50 MW x 5 = 250 MW

6. Annual electricity produced: 411,050,000 kW-hrs

7. Annual electricity sold: 361,680,000 kW-hrs

8. Total Project Investment: 610,790,000 RMB

9. Electricity sell Price: 0.61 RMB/kW-hr

10. Fuel Delivery Price: 150-300 RMB per ton

The Company’s Total 5 Biomass Waste To Energy Plants (250MW) in China:

Begin operation and production in 2010, Expect:

* Annual electricity produce: 2055,250,000 kW-hrs

* Annual electricity sold: 1808,400,000 Kw-hrs

* Electricity sells Price: 0.61 RMB/kW-hr

* Total Investment (35% cash + 65% bank loan): 3053,950,000 RMB

* Total Power Capacity: 250 MW

The Company is developing its Renewable Energy Projects & Pipeline in Biomass Energy Power Generation Plants & Hydropower Plants in hopes of reaching a total Potential Power Capacity of 3200 MW by the year 2013 via Merger & Acquisitions (M&A), Joint-Venture Partnerships with Biomass Energy Plants/Projects & Hydropower Plants and companies, governments in China, or/and worldwide.

Biomass Waste as a Clean Renewable Energy

Straw is the main by-product from the harvesting of agricultural crop. In the past, straw, bush and quitch was used as a household cooking fuel. However, in recent years, as China’s agricultural economy has developed and farmers’ incomes have increased, the usage of straw, bush and quitch has decreased sharply. Farmers now prefer to use fuels, such as coal and gas, which are easier to use, have higher energy content, and require less space for storage. An increasing amount of straw, bush and quitch is now burnt in the open in many regions in China. The burnt portion can be as much as 80% of the straw, bush and quitch produced and causes serious environmental problems. Instead of open burning, straw, bush and quitch can be used to generate electricity in an environmentally friendly manner. By 2010, China will have between 350 million tons to 370 million tons of unused straw. If this huge amount of straw is used for power generation, it would represent an additional 450 billion KwH of electricity. Biomass waste to energy is therefore a very sustainable and environmentally friendly potential energy source in China. Smoke emissions from agriculture waste open-burning and forest fires badly affect air quality. Collecting agriculture from farmers can avoid biomass burning in site, which caused not only smoke and pollutants but also risk highway transportation and air transit. Removing forestry waste like accumulated dead wood and bush, dry quitch, foliage and grass from forested areas can reduce forest fire risk. The biomass waste to energy plant will offer a rewarding application with effective and clean combustion compared to straw open-burning in site or forest fire, and will significantly reduce and eliminate smoke emitted from open burning in site and forest fires.
