According to the Company's preliminary statistics, for the three months ended 31 March 2009, the Company's total domestic power generation on consolidated basis amounted to 41.824 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 9.28% over the same period in 2008. The decrease was mainly due to the deterioration of the global economy as a result of the international financial crisis. Power demand in the domestic market declined, thereby leading to a negative growth in the Company's power generation.

Reacting proactively to the adverse impact on power generation caused by the current economic situation, the Company had strengthened its marketing efforts and formulated effective strategic measures. In the first quarter of 2009, seven power plants of the Company recorded positive growth in power generation from the same period last year, including Hebei Shang'an Power Plant, Zhejiang Yuhuan Power Plant, Henan Qinbei Power Plant, Jiangsu Nanjing Power Plant, Jiangsu Taicang Power Plant, Shanghai Combined-cycle Power Plant and Jiangsu Jinling Combined-cycle Power Plant.

The power generation of each of the Company's domestic power plants in the first quarter of 2009 was listed below (in billion kWh):
