Management's Discussion and Analysis
BUSINESS REVIEW
The Group is principally engaged in generation and sales of electricity in Mainland China, including investment, development, operation and management of coal-fired power, hydropower, wind power and photovoltaic power plants. Its businesses are located in various major power grid regions of China.
At the beginning of 2020, affected by the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, energy consumption fell precipitously, and energy supply growth also plunged dramatically. However, under the timely introduction of a series of policies to contain the spread of the virus, most factories and enterprises have steadily resumed operations from suspension of work and production in the first quarter to gradually overcame the adverse effects of the pandemic in the second quarter of this year. Since the resumption of work and production by enterprises in various regions, power demand has also gradually improved and maintained its growth momentum.
In the first half of 2020, the total national electricity consumption in China dropped by 1.3% as compared with the corresponding period last year. The national power generation recorded a year-on-year decrease of 1.4%, among which, hydropower and coal-fired power decreased by 7.3% and 1.6% respectively; while wind power and photovoltaic power were less affected by the pandemic and increased by 10.9% and 20.0% respectively as compared with the corresponding period last year.
In the first half of 2020, the profit attributable to owners of the Company amounted to RMB1,172,986,000, increased by 20.09% as compared to the corresponding period last year. Basic earnings per share was approximately RMB0.12 (2019: RMB0.10). Net asset per share (excluding non-controlling interests) was approximately RMB3.06 as at 30 June 2020. With the emerging benefits of the Group's investment in new energy during recent years, the proportion of profits contributed by the new energy projects has continued to grow; while in respect of the traditional coal-fired power, the effectiveness of measures adopted to address the operating loss of individual power plants continued to manifest; in particular, the coal-fired power plants in Henan region have either reduced losses significantly or achieved a turnaround from loss to profit.
During the period under review, the development and performance of the Group's principal businesses were as follows:

Management's Discussion and Analysis
Heat Sold
In order to strongly support the existing environmental policies promulgated by the PRC government, the Group has carried out in-depth exploration of the heat supply potentials in various regions, strengthened the development of heat market base and promoted the construction of centralized heating pipe networks, thereby achieving positive results in terms of energy efficiency upgrade and development of heat supply market. However, one of the joint ventures suspended its production for heat supply last year, resulting in a decrease in heat sold as compared with the corresponding period last year. For the first half of 2020, the total heat sold by the Group (including an associate and a joint venture) was 10,540,134GJ, representing a decrease of 642,652GJ or 5.75% as compared with the corresponding period last year.
In an effort to boost heat supply capacity, a total of six generating units of three subsidiaries of the Group have been carrying out technical upgrade for the heating system, which are expected to be completed successively starting in 2021.
Direct Power Supply
The Group has actively participated in the market-oriented reform of national power industry, analyzed the opportunities therein and participated in direct power supply transactions (including competitive bidding for on- grid electricity sales) with a view to securing market share. Subsidiaries in different provinces have also established their electricity sales center to serve and attract a larger number of trading partners. However, as the direct power supply users are mainly commercial and industrial users, the suspension of work and production during the first quarter of this year posed an impact on the demand for electricity and directly affected the sales of direct power, resulting in a decline in the proportion of direct power supply as compared with the corresponding period last year.
For the first half of 2020, a number of coal-fired power plants and clean energy power plants of the Group participated in direct power supply transactions, and the electricity sold through direct power supply transactions amounted to 11,365,536MWh and 3,372,422MWh respectively, together accounting for approximately 36.86% (2019: 41.96%) of the Group's total electricity sold.
In the first half of 2020, for those coal-fired power and hydropower plants of the Group which participated in direct power supply transactions, their average post-tax tariffs were at a discount of approximately 10.39% and 1.58% respectively compared with the respective average post-taxon-grid tariffs approved by the PRC government (including ultra-low emission tariff). The direct power supply tariff discount for coal-fired power increased as compared with the corresponding period last year, mainly due to the intensified electricity market competition in Anhui Province and Shanxi Province which has caused more tariff discounts.

As compared with the first half of 2019, the changes in the average on-grid tariff of each power segment were mainly due to the following factors:
- Hydropower - the reduction of on-grid tariff of hydropower in Hunan Province since 1 July 2019 as promulgated by the Development and Reform Commission of Hunan Province.
- Wind power - the higher average tariff during the period as a result of the Group's newly operating wind power plants which charged a relatively higher average on-grid tariff than that of the existing wind power plants, and the reduction in value-added tax rate from 1 April 2019.
- Photovoltaic power - the impact of subsidies reduction policy for photovoltaic power tariff and the commencement of operation of the photovoltaic grid parity projects by the Group, which resulted in a lower average tariff.
- Coal-firedpower - the reduction in the value-added tax rate from 1 April 2019 and the decline in the proportion of market trading electricity.
The Group will continue to closely monitor and strengthen researches on market power trading policies and green energy tariff policies in order to actively seek more favorable terms regarding market power trading for the Group.

16 Interim Report 2020 China Power International Development Limited
Management's Discussion and Analysis
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Group has implemented all-rounded risk management and has established a systematic and comprehensive risk management mechanism and internal control system. It also has a Risk Management Committee which is accountable to the Board and assists the Board in providing leadership, direction and oversight with regard to the overall risk appetite and tolerance and risk management framework of the Group, including risk policies, processes and controls. The Group also has an internal audit department in place for execution and implementation of risk management measures.
Foreign Exchange Risks
The Group principally operates its businesses in Mainland China with most of its transactions settled in RMB. Apart from certain bank borrowings as well as cash and cash equivalents, the Group's assets and liabilities are mainly denominated in RMB. The Group held borrowings denominated in JPY and USD during the period. Higher volatility of RMB exchange rate against JPY and USD increases the exchange risks of the Group, thus affecting its financial position and operating results.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group's borrowings denominated in foreign currencies amounted to RMB3,475,335,000 (31 December 2019: RMB3,371,773,000). The Group will continue to keep track on the exchange rate movements and, if necessary, take responsive measures to avoid excessive foreign exchange risks.
Funding Risks
With the Group's efforts to strengthen its development of all kinds of new power projects, funding adequacy will have an increasing impact on the Group's operations and development. The financing market is affected by a number of factors such as the liquidity of the lending market and the economic environment, which in turn may also affect the effectiveness and costs of the Group's borrowing.
The Group has always leveraged its ability of accessing the Mainland China and overseas markets to optimize its funding sources, increase the credit facilities and lower its financing costs. Various cost-saving and efficiency enhancement initiatives have also been adopted in the Group's business management to reduce administrative and operating expenses. Moreover, the financial services framework agreement with SPIC Financial also facilitates the mitigation of funding risks.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had sufficient available unutilized financing facilities amounting to RMB34,315,933,000.
Risks Relating to Policy Changes
The cancellation of the coal price and coal-fired power tariff linkage mechanism (煤電價格聯動機制) since January 2020 has promoted the marketization of coal-fired power transactions. It is expected that the coal-fired power tariff will be further affected by the market conditions and the supply and demand of coal, as well as the results of negotiation or the competitive bidding between both parties of power supply and demand.
In March 2020, the National Energy Administration published the Notice on the Issues Related to the Construction of Wind Power and Photovoltaic Power Projects in 2020 (《關於2020年風電、光伏發電項目建設有關事項的通知》) to give priority to promoting the construction of wind power and photovoltaic power grid parity projects without subsidies, pursuant to which, those wind power and photovoltaic power projects which are either already grid- connected or still in the process of applying national subsidies within the approved effective term are strategically encouraged to transform into grid parity projects voluntarily, with a view to accelerating the progress of grid parity.
Interim Report 2020 China Power International Development Limited | 17 |
Management's Discussion and Analysis
In April 2020, the National Development and Reform Commission published the Draft for Solicitation of Comments regarding the tariffs for power supply industry, with a view to gradually canceling the official tariffs for industrial and commercial use, among which, the tariffs will be determined by the market force and the tariffs for power transmission and distribution will be approved by the government and under its stringent control. It is expected that such measure will deepen the system reform of the power industry, thereby leading to more market-oriented electricity tariffs. From the perspective of the development of the electricity market, such measure will further reduce or even remove the market entry barrier, which will encourage more entities to participate in market-driven transactions.
Risks and Prevention and Control of COVID-19
In the past six months, COVID-19 pandemic became the new and highest risk facing by the globe. Under its impact, the growth of national total electricity consumption throughout China has slowed down. It is foreseen the annual growth rate would fall by approximately 2%. According to The China Electricity Council, the growth rate of coal-fired power generation in Hubei Province and Anhui Province, where the pandemic outbreak was relatively severe, for the first half of the year was -17.4% and -10.5% respectively.
In terms of operations, as certain coal-fired power plants of the Group are located in the above two provinces, their electricity sold recorded a similar year-on-year decrease to some extent. Coupled with the delay in progress of varying degrees of the Group's projects in construction under the pandemic impact, pressure was posed to the operating revenue of the Group for the year. However, we anticipate it will not have any material adverse effects on the overall results of the Group.
In addition, the demand and supply, transportation and import business in respect of the fuel market are affected by the pandemic, particularly the import of coal is under strict control. Together with the regional control of varying extents on various areas, transportation of coal is further restricted, thereby posing new challenges to the coal inventory management and safe production of the Group. Thanks to the more relaxing balance of supply and demand for coal in the regions where the operation of the Group is located as compared with the corresponding period last year, the Group has capitalized on the opportunities favoring procurement to increase its coal reserve at staggered peaks. The average unit fuel cost was thus reduced and the fuel costs was curbed significantly.
In terms of finances, currently the Group has sufficient available unutilized financing facilities. Furthermore, the counterparties of our electricity sales are mainly regional and provincial power grid companies, which have robust financial strength and good reputation. As such, counterparty default rates of the Group are extremely low despite the pandemic, and we do not expect any risk associated with the cash flow and bad debts of the Group arising therefrom. However, the pandemic has posed a certain downward pressure on the domestic and global economy. It is expected the interest rates and exchange rates would be affected to different degrees accordingly in the future. We will closely monitor and timely control the financing costs.
In response to the impact of the sudden pandemic outbreak on the economy and the demand for electricity, the Group has conducted a comprehensive analysis and formulated measures to meet our performance targets so as to focus on efforts such as marketing of electricity and management of coal procurement. Besides, the Group has made timely assessment on the uncertainties arising from the pandemic over the contract performance in relation to the construction projects, actively designed and implemented the epidemic prevention and control measures to lay the foundation for the sustainably better operating results of the Group. Currently, the epidemic prevention and control measures have already gained phased achievements in China. Nevertheless, various pandemic related potential risks still exist. The Group will normalize the epidemic prevention and control measures, all in a bid to ensure health of its employees and stability of the workforce, and hence facilitating the implementation of various operational tasks as planned.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE
Operational Safety
In response to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group promptly adopted comprehensive measures to enhance protection of the health and safety of its employees. These measures include special work arrangement, such as reducing non-essential office work, implementing work-from-home and flexible working hour arrangements, and providing necessary protective equipment and hosting online seminars on epidemic prevention for its employees. Moreover, catering for the personal needs of its employees and their families, the Group also provided supporting services for their physical and psychological well-being, and expressed love and care to each of its employees through letter of condolences, consolation money, video teleconferences, home visits and other means.
In summer this year, China faced huge pressure on flood control given the exceptionally critical condition of flooding along the Yangtze River. During the flood seasons, Wu Ling Power strengthened its management and control on flooding and established alert mechanism for typhoons, rainstorms and mudslides to closely monitor hazards arising from rainfall, flooding and geological conditions. By taking full advantages of its power system in terms of overall basin organization and dispatch management, it has effectively reduced risks relating to natural disasters and safeguarded the production safety of power plants in the river basins, thus has been effectively fulfilling its social responsibilities and achieving the win-win situation of both flood prevention and power generation at the same time.
For the first half of 2020, no material accident in the aspects of employees, facilities and environmental protection occurred in the Group.
During the period under review, all operating power plants over which the Group has operational control complied with the relevant PRC production safety regulations. No fines or charges were imposed on the Group due to violation of regulations.
Human Resources
The Group has put great emphasis on the establishment of the performance appraisal, rewarding and punishment mechanism for all employees. It determines the emoluments of its directors and employees based on their respective performance, working experience, duties of the position, and the remuneration system of the Company's parent companies as well as the prevailing market conditions. The Group has also implemented an incentive policy with performance-linked emoluments.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had a total of 10,337 (2019: 10,230) full-time employees.
During the period under review, all business units over which the Group has operational control complied with the local labor laws. No fines or charges were imposed on the Group due to violation of regulations.
Energy Saving
The Group has always been placing a great emphasis on environmental protection from the perspective of sustainable corporate development, vigorously promoting energy saving and emission reduction, conscientiously fulfilling its social responsibilities and actively responding to global climate change.
The net coal consumption rate of the Group was 302.05g/kWh, representing a slight increase of 0.58g/kWh as compared with the corresponding period last year. The net coal consumption rate remained at a relatively low level.
Interim Report 2020 China Power International Development Limited | 19 |
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Emission Reduction
In active response to the policy of "Action Plan of the Upgrade and Renovation of Energy Saving and Emission Reduction of Coal-fired Units (2014-2020) ( 煤電節能減排升級與改造行動計劃 (2014-2020年))" promulgated by the PRC government, the Group has strengthened the environmental control and rectification measures for its coal-fired power generating units. Currently, more than 90% of the operating coal-fired power generating units have met the standards of ultra-low-emission.
For the first half of 2020, the operational ratio of desulphurization facilities for the coal-fired power generating units of the Group was 100% (2019: 100%), and the efficiency ratio of desulphurization was 99.29% (2019: 99.34%); the operational ratio of denitration facilities reached 100% (2019: 99.99%) and the efficiency ratio of denitration reached 88.70% (2019: 89.79%).
During the period under review, the environmental protection indicators for coal-fired power generating units were as follows:
- the emission rate of sulphur dioxide (SO2) at 0.090g/kWh, representing an increase of 0.022g/kWh as compared with the corresponding period last year;
- the emission rate of nitrogen oxide (NOx) at 0.156g/kWh, representing an increase of 0.035g/kWh as compared with the corresponding period last year; and
- the emission rate of flue gas and dusts at 0.009g/kWh, representing an increase of 0.002g/kWh as compared with the corresponding period last year.
Three environmental protection indicators recorded an increase as compared to the corresponding period last year, which was mainly attributable to the higher average emission rate resulting from the commencement of commercial operation of two 660MW generating units that have not yet met the ultra-low emission standard. The Group has carried out technological research on the ultra-low emission upgrade for these two generating units and recommended optimization projects for all generating units in advance in order to improve the production efficiency.
During the period under review, all the power plants over which the Group has operational control complied with the relevant PRC environmental protection regulations. No fines or charges were imposed on the Group due to violation of regulations.
OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2020
According to the preliminary statistics of the National Bureau of Statistics, the national GDP declined by 1.6% year-on-year during the first half of the year. Under the adverse impact of the continuous epidemic spread overseas, the progress of globalization was seriously disrupted. Economic and trade frictions as well as other non- economic factors have affected the relationship between the United States and China and added a number of uncertainties to the development of the Chinese economy. With the lingering impacts of the pandemic in the second half of the year, the growth of the global economy will inevitably slow down with persisting downside risks.
In China, according to the forecast of The China Electricity Council, the growth of power consumption will rebound significantly and the total national power consumption is expected to grow by approximately 6% in the second half of the year, representing a year-on-year growth of annual national power consumption of around 2% to 3%.
20 Interim Report 2020 China Power International Development Limited

Regarding the audit center established in 2019, in view of strengthening the audit-related talent team, we have completed the internal recruitment of appropriate positions for the audit center. During the first half of the year, the audit center was put into official operation, the new audit information system has provided remote online access as scheduled, laying the foundation for the transformation and upgrade of internal audit and full audit coverage.
Preventing and eliminating major risks in concerted efforts. In conjunction with the post-epidemic risk management, the Company organized and commenced its efforts in major risks prevention and elimination on monthly basis. We continued to persist in the concept of incorporating the risk management efforts into our corporate strategies and performance management. Major risks were analyzed in details with responsibilities assigned to individuals. Employees' awareness of personal responsibility was enhanced and risk prevention response measures were refined, thereby further consolidating the comprehensive risk management system that integrated hierarchical management and control with the "three lines of defence".
Strengthening the post-evaluation works of project investment. In the first half of the year, the Company organized and carried out diagnosis of investments in new energy projects and launched its efforts in post- evaluation of investment in summary on projects which had completed construction and commenced operation during 2016 to 2019. We completed the collection and overall compilation of project information and the self- assessment of each business unit in terms of the project investments. At the same time, coupling with the closed- loop management on the risks involved with investment projects, those investment projects tabled on the investment decision meetings have been under monthly review and evaluation. Analysis and tracking were also conducted according to their comprehensive risk assessment reports and risk responses so as to strengthen the dynamic risk management on investment projects.

Corporate Governance
Commencing to build the system for accountability relating to non-compliant operations and investments as a norm. In the first half of the year, the Company hosted online seminars on the accountability relating to non- compliant operations and investments. We systematically publicized and implemented the spirit of accountability for non-compliant operations and investments, and completed the tasks of soliciting accountability trails and related filing and reporting ledgers as scheduled.
In addition, the Internal Audit Department also took appropriate measures to review and inspect quarterly the implementation of the Group's existing continuing connected transactions. For the six months ended 30 June 2020, each of the relevant companies of the Group had strictly monitored the agreed prices and terms of the various continuing connected transactions in the actual course of business operations and did not exceed the respective annual caps disclosed.
INVESTOR RELATIONS
The shareholders and investors are informed of the latest business performance and development of the Group by means of various communication channels, including the Company's website at www.chinapower.hk, the annual and interim reports, the quarterly announcement on the Group's electricity sold and other announcements on the Group's key business development.
In the first half of 2020, the Group organized the results press conference right after the publication of its annual results 2019. Under the exceptional condition caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the results press conference was held online. At the same time, we also launched online roadshows to coordinate with the announcement of the annual results and promote the Company's established strategies and development prospects to the market.
In addition, the Company participated in various investors' activities via teleconference and other online tools during the first half of the year. The investor relations team met and communicated with more than 40 personnel from investment institutions and maintained the activities of answering the telephone consultations from investors on a daily basis, which minimized the impact of the epidemic on the Company's investor relations work and maintained good communication.

INTRODUCTION
We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 26 to 72, which comprises the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of China Power International Development Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") as at 30 June 2020 and the related interim condensed consolidated income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("HKAS 34") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with HKAS 34. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Our report is made solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
SCOPE OF REVIEW
We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the HKICPA. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
CONCLUSION
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with HKAS 34.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
- BASIS OF PREPARATION
- The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of China Power International Development Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") for the six months ended 30 June 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard ("HKAS") 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA"). These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 as well as with the applicable disclosure requirements of the Appendix 16 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").
- The financial information relating to the year ended 31 December 2019 that is included in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements as comparative information does not constitute the Company's statutory annual consolidated financial statements for that year but is derived from those financial statements. Further information relating to these statutory financial statements required to be disclosed in accordance with section 436 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance is as follows:
- The Company has delivered the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 to the Registrar of Companies as required by section 662(3) of, and Part 3 of Schedule 6 to, the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
- The Company's then auditor has reported on those financial statements. The auditor's report was unqualified; did not include a reference to any matters to which the auditor drew attention by way of emphasis without qualifying its report; and did not contain a statement under sections 406(2), 407(2) or (3) of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
- The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, details of which are set out in Note 27.1. They are presented in thousands of Renminbi ("RMB'000"), unless otherwise stated, and have been approved by the board of Directors (the "Board") on 27 August 2020.
- The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited.
- PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for the adoption of the following revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") for the first time in the current period.
Application of new and amendments to HKFRSs
Amendments to HKFRS 3
Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 Amendment to HKFRS 16
Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8
Definition of a Business
Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions (early adopted) Definition of Material

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
The nature and impact of the revised HKFRSs are described below:
Amendments to HKFRS 3: Definition of a Business
The amendment to HKFRS 3 clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarifies that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group, but may impact future periods should the Group enter into any business combinations.
Amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
The amendments to HKFRS 9, HKAS 39 and HKFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainties about the timing and or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. These amendments had no impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group as it does not have any interest rate hedge relationships.
Amendment to HKFRS 16: Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions
The amendment to HKFRS 16 provides relief to lessees from applying the HKFRS 16 guidance on lease modifications to rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The amendment does not apply to lessors. As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a Covid-19-related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election accounts for any change in lease payments resulting from the such rent concession the same way it would account for the change under HKFRS 16, if the change were not a lease modification. The Group has early adopted and assessed the impact of this amendment and concluded that it did not have any material impact on the Group's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8: Definition of Material
The amendments to HKAS 1 and HKAS 8 provide a new definition of material that states: "information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity."
These amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in the context of the financial statements. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users.
The above amendments had no material impact on the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.

15. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (Continued)
Notes: (Continued)
-
As at 30 June 2020, accounts receivable from regional and provincial power grid companies included clean energy power price premium receivable of RMB5,450,674,000 (31 December 2019: RMB4,419,540,000), which was unbilled. Among the unbilled receivables, RMB4,709,901,000 (31 December 2019: RMB3,996,742,000) were related to revenue from the Group's wind and photovoltaic power projects which were not in the Subsidy Catalogue or the Subsidy List (as defined below) and were stated after discounting.
The clean energy power price premium, which is a component of the government-approvedon-grid tariff for wind and photovoltaic power generation, is recognized as revenue from sales of electricity in the interim condensed consolidated income statement of the Group for its wind and photovoltaic power projects.
The financial resource for the clean energy power price premium is the national renewable energy fund that accumulated through a special levy on the consumption of electricity. Pursuant to Caijian [2012] No. 102 Notice on the Interim Measures for Administration of Subsidy Funds for Tariff Premium of Renewable Energy ( 可再生能源電 價附加補助資金管理暫行辦法) jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance (the "MOF"), the National Development and Reform Commission (the "NDRC") and the National Energy Administration (the "NEA") in March 2012, the standardized application and approval procedures on a project by project basis for the settlement of the tariff premium came into force since 2012, and such applications are accepted and approved batch by batch jointly by the MOF, the NDRC and the NEA at intervals in form of announcing renewable energy subsidy catalogues (the "Subsidy Catalogue").
In February 2020, the MOF, the NDRC and the NEA jointly issued new guidelines and notices, i.e., Caijian [2020] No. 4 Guidelines on the Stable Development of Non-Water Renewable Energy Generation ( 關於促進非水可再生能 源發電健康發展的若干意見) and Caijian [2020] No. 5 Measures for Administration of Subsidy Funds for Tariff Premium of Renewable Energy ( 可再生能源電價附加資金管理辦法) (collectively referred to the"New Guidelines"). Pursuant to the New Guidelines, the quota of new subsidies are decided based on the scale of subsidy funds, there will not be any new Subsidy Catalogue to be published for tariff premium and as an alternative, grid companies will publish lists of renewable energy projects qualified for tariff premium (the "Subsidy List") periodically after the renewable energy generators have gone through certain approval and information publicity process.
Based on the above and their past experience, the Directors estimated that there are no foreseeable obstacles that would lead to the application not being approved before entering into either the Subsidy Catalogue or the Subsidy List. It is expected that the Group's wind and photovoltaic power projects will be listed as qualified projects for tariff premium after 30 June 2021 (31 December 2019: obtained after 31 December 2020) and the corresponding premium receivables are estimated to be recovered after twelve months from the reporting date. Therefore, the Directors considered the renewable energy electricity sales contract for projects before entering into the Subsidy Catalogue or the Subsidy List contains a significant financing component. During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the respective clean energy power price premium was adjusted for this financing component based on an effective interest rate of 4.75% (2019: 4.75%) per annum. For the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group's revenue was adjusted by RMB164,284,000 (2019: RMB192,455,000) and interest income amounting to RMB94,922,000 (2019: RMB48,376,000) (Note 8) was recognized.
- As at 30 June 2020, notes receivable were bank acceptance notes issued by third parties and were normally with maturity period within 360 days (31 December 2019: 360 days).
- As at 30 June 2020, certain bank borrowings, borrowings from related parties (including SPIC Financial Company Limited ("SPIC Financial"), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited ("ICBC") and Agricultural Bank of China Limited ("ABC")), and certain lease liabilities (Notes 20(d), 21(b), 21(c), 21(h) and 23) were secured by the rights on accounts receivable of certain subsidiaries. The accounts receivable pledged under these debts as at 30 June 2020 amounted to RMB4,088,423,000 (31 December 2019: RMB3,760,170,000).
- The fair values of the accounts and notes receivables approximate their carrying amounts as the impact of discounting is not significant. All accounts and notes receivables are denominated in RMB.

17. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ASSOCIATED WITH A DISPOSAL GROUP CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE
During the year ended 31 December 2018, Shanxi Shentou Power Generating Company Limited, a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a joint venture agreement to form Sujin Energy Holding Company Limited ("Sujin Energy"), an associate of the Group, in Shanxi Province of the PRC. And the Company would use its 80% equity interest in China Power Shentou Power Generating Company Limited ("CP Shentou") as part of the capital contribution to Sujin Energy.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the works in relation to the epidemic prevention and control have been going on throughout the country. As at 30 June 2020, the above-mentioned capital contribution has not been completed. As the Group has committed to the disposal of CP Shentou and the transaction is highly probable to complete within one year, the assets and liabilities attributable to CP Shentou were continued to be classified as a disposal group held for sale, which was separately presented in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position. The operation of CP Shentou was included in the Group's "Coal-fired electricity" segment for segment reporting.

24. PROVISIONS FOR OTHER LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
Provisions for other long-term liabilities represent the provisions for inundation compensations caused by the construction of certain hydropower plants of the Group.
The provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the compensations, based on the latest rules and regulations as set out by the relevant local government authorities in the PRC and the expected useful lives of these hydropower plants, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the compensations. The increase in the provisions due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

27. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
-
Financial risk factors
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risks and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
As at 30 June 2020, the Group had net current liabilities of RMB25,681,937,000. In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Directors have taken into account all information that could reasonably be expected to be available and have ascertained that the Group has obtained adequate financial resources to support the Group to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. As at 30 June 2020, the Group had available unutilized facilities in writing from banks and related parties amounting to approximately RMB16,142,996,000 as well as other bank committed facilities amounting to approximately RMB18,172,937,000, totaling approximately RMB34,315,933,000. Moreover, the Group will refinance and/or restructure certain short-term loans into long-term loans or consider alternative sources of financing, where applicable. Under these circumstances, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group will be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due within the next twelve months and therefore have prepared these interim condensed consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.
During the current period, all financial assets were not impaired.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's 2019 annual financial statements.
There has not been any change in the risk management department or risk management policies since the year end of 2019. - Fair value estimation
The table below analyses the Group's financial instruments carried at fair value by level of the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Such inputs are categorized into three levels within a fair value hierarchy as follows: - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).
- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).
- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

29. LOSS OF CONTROL OVER SUBSIDIARIES
-
Formation of a joint venture
On 30 June 2020, SPIC Guangxi Power Company Limited ("Guangxi Company"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a joint venture agreement (the "Joint Venture Agreement") with Jilin Electric Power Co., Ltd. ( 吉林電力股份有限公司) ("Jilin Electric"), China Power Complete Equipment Co., Ltd. ( 中國電能成套設備有限公司) ("CEC") and Sinohydro Bureau 11 Co., Ltd. ( 中國水 利水電第十一工程局有限公司), pursuant to which the parties agreed to form Guangxi SPIC Overseas Energy Investment Co., Ltd. ( 廣西國電投海外能源投資有限公司) ("Guangxi Overseas"), a joint venture in Nanning, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of the PRC.
Pursuant to the Joint Venture Agreement, the contribution by Guangxi Company included RMB27,646,000 through cash directly and 100% equity interest in SPIC Guangxi Lingchuan Wind Power Ltd. (國家電投廣西靈川風電有限公司) ("Lingchuan Wind Power"), 55% equity interest in Guangxi Lingshan Dahuaishan New Energy Ltd. (廣西靈山大懷山新能源有限公司) ("Lingshan Wind Power") and 35.35% equity interest in SPIC Guangxi Jinzishan Wind Power Ltd. ("Jinzishan Wind Power") (subsidiaries of Guangxi Company). The value of the equity interests in these three subsidiaries was RMB492,354,000 (Note 32), which was determined by the joint venture parties after arm's length negotiation and taking into account the valuation reports prepared by an independent valuer, its assumption bases and valuation methods, and the net asset value of the above three subsidiaries.
As at 30 June 2020, the transfer of the equity interests in these three subsidiaries was completed and they ceased to be the subsidiaries of the Group; instead, the investments retained in the former subsidiaries of Lingshan Wind Power of 45% and Jinzishan Wind Power of 15.22% were accounted for as investments in associates at their fair values at the date when control is lost. Besides, after the contribution by cash and equity interests in those three subsidiaries, the Group owns 40% interest in Guangxi Overseas which was accounted for as investment in a joint venture. The Group recorded a disposal gain (pre-tax) of RMB32,017,000 (Note 30(a)(iv)).
CEC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPIC. SPIC is the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company, which is interested in approximately 60.04% of the issued share capital of the Company. As such, CEC is a related party and a connected person of the Company as defined in the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the formation of Guangxi Overseas with CEC constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules.
As disclosed in Note 31, the Group further disposed 45% of interest retained in Lingshan Wind Power to Guangxi Overseas on 29 July 2020.

29. LOSS OF CONTROL OVER SUBSIDIARIES (Continued)
- Loss of control in other subsidiaries
During the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Group disposed of its 65% equity interest in a subsidiary, Xinlongxian Xida Hydropower Development Co., Ltd. ( 新龍縣西達水電開發有限公司) at a consideration of RMB8,000,000 and recorded a disposal gain (pre-tax) of RMB715,000.
On the 18 March 2020 meeting, the shareholders of SPIC Anhui Hailuo Electricity Power Sales Co., Ltd. ("Hailuo Power Sales", a then subsidiary of the Group) resolved that the Group can appoint 2 directors in the 5-member board of directors, whereas the other shareholder can appoint 3 directors. Accordingly, the Group could not exercise control on Hailuo Power Sales after the reassignment of board seating and Hailuo Power Sales is accounted for as an associate since then.
Upon loss of control over these subsidiaries, the Group recognized a disposal gain (pre-tax) amounting to RMB32,732,000 (Note 5), non-controlling interests were derecognized by RMB294,141,000 and resulted in net cash outflows of RMB10,735,000 during the six months ended 30 June 2020.
30. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Group is controlled by CPI Holding, an intermediate holding company which directly holds approximately 28.9% (31 December 2019: 28.9%) of the Company's shares, and indirectly holds approximately 27.1% (31 December 2019: 27.1%) of the Company's shares through China Power Development Limited ("CPDL"). As at 30 June 2020, CPI Holding owned approximately 56.0% (31 December 2019: 56.0%) of equity interest in the Company in aggregate. In addition, SPIC International Finance (Hong Kong) Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPIC and also a fellow subsidiary of the Company, held 4.0% (31 December 2019: Nil) of the Company's shares as at 30 June 2020. The Directors regard SPIC, a wholly state-owned enterprise established in the PRC, which is the beneficial owner of CPI Holding, as the ultimate holding company.
SPIC is controlled by the PRC government which also owns a significant portion of the productive assets in the PRC. In accordance with HKAS 24 (Revised), government-related entities and their subsidiaries, directly or indirectly controlled, jointly controlled or significantly influenced by the PRC government are defined as related parties of the Group. On that basis, related parties include SPIC, its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (other than the Group), other government-related entities and their subsidiaries, other entities and corporations in which the Company is able to control or exercise significant influence and key management personnel of the Company and SPIC as well as their close family members.
For the purpose of the related party transactions disclosures, the Directors believe that it is also meaningful to disclose the related party transactions with SPIC companies for the interests of financial statements users. The Directors believe that the information of related party transactions has been adequately disclosed in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
During the year of 2018, ABC Financial Asset Investment Co., Ltd. ("ABC Financial"), a subsidiary of ABC Group and ICBC Financial Asset Investment Co., Ltd. ("ICBC Financial"), a subsidiary of ICBC Group, have respectively became non-controlling shareholders of Huaihua Yuanjiang Power Development Co., Ltd. ("Yuanjiang Power") and SPIC Guangxi Changzhou Hydropower Development Co., Ltd. ("Changzhou Hydropower"), both being significant subsidiaries of the Group. ABC and its subsidiaries (collectively the "ABC Group") and ICBC and its subsidiaries (collectively the "ICBC Group") could exercise significant influence over these subsidiaries and were identified as related parties to the Group accordingly.
