The Board is satisfied with the Company's operating results in 2013.
The Board of the Company proposed to declare a cash dividend of RMB 0.38 (inclusive of tax) for each ordinary share of the Company held by shareholders for the year of 2013.
In 2013, the Company had made new progress in many aspects, including power generation, operation, energy saving and environmental protection, management improvement, project development. In respect of domestic business, the Company overcame difficulties posed by intensified competition in the electricity market, strived to explore markets, increased power generation, adjusted fuel procurement strategy, fostered strict control over fuel costs, thereby delivering record high operating results. Concurrently, the Company managed to fulfill the duties of providing sufficient, reliable and green energy to the society.
In 2013, total power generated by the Company's operating power plants in China amounted to 317.481 billion kWh, representing an increase of 4.98% year-on-year. The electricity sold aggregated to 300.003 billion kWh, representing an increase of 5.10% year-on-year. The annual average utilization hours of the Company's domestic generating plants reached 5,036 hours, of which the utilization hours of the thermal units reached 5,089 hours, which was 77 hours higher than the average utilization hours of thermal units in China.
The Company purchased a total of 134 million tons of natural coal. Through adopting two strategies, namely enhancing long term cooperation with major suppliers and increasing the imported coal, the coal supply structure was further improved, thus the fuel cost was effectively controlled. The fuel costs per unit of power sold of the Company's domestic power plants were RMB 218.59 per MWh, representing a decrease of 12.50% compared to last year.
The Company led the industry in terms of technical, economic and energy consumption indicators. The average equivalent availability ratio of the Company's domestic power plants was 94.53%, and its weighted average house consumption rate was 5.28%. The Company's average coal consumption rate for the power generated was 291.26 grams/kWh, which is 1.69 grams/kWh lower than that of the same period last year. The Company's average coal consumption rate for power sold was 308.26 grams/kWh, representing a decrease of 2.08 grams/kWh from that of the same period last year. At the same time, the Company continued to intensify the technological renovation of the existing units, proceeded with the desulfurization and denitration of the thermal units as scheduled and proactively updated the flue gas dust removal devices of coal-fired units, with a view to enhancing the Company's performance in energy-saving and environmental protection and securing the leading market position, and achieving the goal of "green development".

As of 18 March 2014, the Company's controlled and equity-based generating capacity was 66,795 MW and 59,993 MW, respectively.

In conjunction with commencement of operation of Phase I (101 MW) of Tembusu Multi-Utility Complex Project and No.5 combined cycle unit of Tuas Power (405.9 MW), the total market share of Tuas Power in the power generation market for the whole year was 20.6%, representing a decrease of 4.6 percentage points, thereby realizing a net profit attributable to shareholders of the Company of RMB 0.113 billion, which represented a decrease of 89.16%. It was mainly attributable to the increase of newly operated generation units in the electricity market of Singapore, which intensified competitions in the power and gas market, resulting in a decline in return levels in power generation business in 2013. The Company made goodwill impairment provision for overseas projects.
In 2013, the Company delivered promising performance in the capital market. The Company was included as one of the constituent stocks of Hang Seng China 50 Index and was awarded the "Best Listed Company Award" of the China Securities Golden Bauhinia Awards 2013.

In 2014, the Company will further pursue improvement in efficiency, structural adjustment, management enhancement, stability and efficiency of profitability, sustainability and its leading competitive edge in the sector. The Company will strive to realize an annual power generation of 325 billion kWh at the Company's domestic power plants, and attain a utilization hour of 5,000 hours.
The Company will strengthen the competitiveness of marketing activities and optimize the production, operation and administration systems; insist in fostering the establishment of a stable and reliable fuel supply system; enhance the operation and management of the Tuas Power and endeavor to extend its market share; thus creating long term, stable and increasing returns for shareholders of the Company.
