Based on the Company’s preliminary statistics, as of 30 September 2008, the Company’s total domestic power generation based on a consolidated basis amounted to 140.375 billion kWh, an increase of 12.73% over the same period last year.

units provided strong support to the growth of the Company’s power
generation;
2. Renovation arrangements for the Company’s generating units have been
optimized, thus facilitating a growth in the Company’s power generation;
and
3. The continued growth in the electricity demand in the regions where the
Company’s power plants are located provided room for the increase in
the power generation.
