The Group strives to provide electricity and heating to its customers, while making unremitting efforts to protect the beautiful planet. The Group has always adhered to the corporate mission of "providing reliable, clean, and economical energy", actively responded to the national environmental protection policy, effectively promoted structural adjustment, and actively developed clean energy, so as to cope with climate change, and maintained investment in energy conservation and environmental protection. The Group develops green and low-carbon electricity to jointly promote high-quality development, ecological, and environmental protection.
Tackle Climate Change
China is now the world's largest energy producer and consumer. In 2019, the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption in China reached 15.3%. During the "14th Five-Year" Plan period (2021-2025), China will further innovate its development model, accelerate the development and utilization of clean energy, encourage non-fossil energy and natural gas to become the main part of energy consumption growth, and increase the proportion of clean energy consumption to a greater extent. China's share of non-fossil energy consumption is expected to rise to around 25% by 2030, which means that over 70% of the country's energy growth will come from non-fossil fuels. In response to the relevant policies, the Group actively promotes the transformation of the energy structure to be green, low-carbon, clean and efficient, continues to develop clean energy, continues to promote the transformation of ultra-low emission of coal-fired power plants, and improves the efficiency of energy conservation and emission reduction, and implements carbon emission management.
Controlling Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions is an essential act of tackling climate change. During the Group's operation, its GHG emissions are mainly sourced from fossil fuel combustion in thermal power plants. Hence, to manage fossil fuel consumption effectively and decrease coal consumption rate for power supply is a direct way to control GHG emission. One the one hand, the Group develops clean energy in order to increase the proportion of clean energy power generation units to reduce reliance on energy from fossil fuels to some extent. On the other hand, the Group takes energy saving and consumption reduction as an important measure for improving quality and efficiency, including improving operational efficiency of equipment and promoting technological renovation to reduce consumption.
In 2018 and 2019, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the PRC circulated the notice of implementing carbon emission reporting and verification. The Group has proactively implemented relevant measures. Depending on the Group's carbon emission statistical information system, the Group continuously improves its carbon emission management to accomplish carbon emission monitoring and reporting. Moreover, every subsidiary of the Group has formulated monthly and annual targets of coal consumption rate for power supply and conducted benchmarking of energy saving to decrease coal consumption in power generation and reduce GHG emission. Meanwhile, the Group proactively responds to domestic and international green and low-carbon development. A study of carbon emissions and carbon assets management has been developed, which enables the effective integration of low-carbon development concept and strategy into the Group's development plan.
During the "13th Five-Year" Plan period, the Group promoted its development with high quality according to the ideas of "actively developing wind and solar power, continuously developing hydropower, orderly developing gas-fired power and prudently developing coal-fired power". From the implementation situation, the actual production capacity of wind and solar power and hydropower was close to the independent development goal planned by the Company. The coal-fired power installed capacity reached the planned target. The self-developed installed capacity of gas-fired power generators was about 2,000 MW lower than the target. The main reason for this result was that some supporting policies of gas-fired power projects have not been implemented for the time being. In order to ensure investment returns and control investment risks, the Group slowed down the development progress.
In May 2020, Xinzang No. 1 and No. 2 units of Sichuan Liangshan Shuiluohe Hydropower Development Company Limited were put into operation for power generation, thus all three units of Xinzang Power Station were put into operation. The Xinzang Power Station, with an installed capacity of 186 MW, is the fourth power station in the Shuiluo River basin developed by Sichuan Liangshan Shuiluohe Hydropower Development Company Limited. The project is designed to produce 777 million kWh of clean electricity annually. Compared with conventional coal-fired power projects, the operation of the project can save 230,000 tons of standard coal consumption each year, and reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, dust, and so on.
In terms of developing clean energy, the Group strictly controls conventional coal-fired power, actively develops gas-fired power, develops renewable energy projects in an orderly way, and increases the proportion of installed capacity of renewable energy in the energy structure. Compared with 23.57% of the total installed capacity of clean energy at the end of the last reporting period, by the end of the Reporting Period, the total installed capacity of clean energy of the Group reached 14,539.3 MW, which accounted for 25.20% of the total installed capacity, an increase of 1,209.0 MW compared with the end of the last reporting period, of which:
Case
The Ningdong Phase III Photovoltaic Project is located in Majiatan Town, Lingwu City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. The project was officially put into operation in March 2020 with an installed capacity of 70 MW. The project is equipped with high-efficiency single crystal silicon photovoltaic modules. The project is designed to produce 105 million kWh of clean electricity annually. Compared to conventional coal-fired power projects, the project can save about 30,000 tons of standard coal consumption each year and reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, dust, and so on.
As the impacts from climate change become increasingly adverse, such as the increasing occurrence of extreme weather, and global warming becoming more obvious. Therefore, power generation companies need to improve their risk response capability to cope with the potentially more frequent occurrences of weather with higher temperatures, storms and rainstorms, so as to ensure the operation's safety and stability. Regarding potential extreme weather patterns, each subsidiary of the Group has formulated detailed work plans, emergency plans and drills, such as accomplishing production at the peak of summer, providing power in the event of flooding, management mechanism and drills of preparation against typhoons.
Emissions Management
During the operation of power generation and the corporate, the generated emissions of the Group mainly include air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, soot, etc., wastewater and solid waste. On the front of environmental protection policy, China continues to enhance pollutant management and intensifies the implementation of a series of special actions including defending the blue sky, and increasing the stringency of atmospheric, soil and water pollution control requirements, especially for thermal power plants. The newly revised Law of the PRC on the Prevention and Control of Environmental Pollution by Solid Wastes, which has taken effect since September 2020, emphasizes the management of solid wastes. Companies face stricter regulation and greater accountability. In this regard, the Group resolutely implements the deployment requirements of the battle of pollution prevention and control, and timely publicizes and implements the relevant national policies and requirements. The Group strengthens its environmental protection management system and measures, constantly strengthens the operation of environmental protection facilities and the supervision of environmental protection indicators, strictly controls pollutant emission so as to meet standards, tracks and supervises the environmental protection rectification work of its subsidiaries, and ensures the normal operation of environmental protection equipment. The Group focuses on ecological and environmental protection, and constantly improves its ability to cope with environmental risks.

The Group pays attention to, advocates, and implements national environmental protection policies and regulations in a timely manner. The Group proactively responds to a series of national special actions of fighting the battle for prevention and control of pollution, defending the blue sky, etc., by further implementing pollution control and prevention according to actual conditions. Moreover, the Group improves environmental protection management and the supervision system and maintains the implementation of general management and daily supervision. The overall status of environmental protection, input in environmental protection and pending improvements are included in the Groups' annual summary and plan. Meanwhile, the Group implements emission monitoring and data analysis and summary to ensure that emissions are fully complied with requirements.
The power generation industry is a major industry for energy saving, consumption reduction, and pollution emission reduction. In order to speed up the development of a resource-saving and environmentally-friendly society, China continually shuts down small thermal plants to reduce emissions and energy consumption. Therefore, the Group proactively responds to the shutting down of small thermal plants of "building large thermal plants and shutting down small ones" by adopting the "developing and reducing" method, which includes "reducing" small thermal plants and adjusting energy structure by "developing" renewable energy.
In addition, the Group spares no effort to reduce pollutants emission by technological renovation and enhancing the operation and maintenance management of environmental protection facilities. During the Reporting Period, the investment in environmental protection which were used mainly for large technological renovation of the Group was RMB182.8 million, and the construction of 3 coal-fired ultra-low emission power units with a capacity of 1,200 MW was completed. The Group's ultra-low emissions coal-fired power units comprised a total capacity of 41,140 MW, which accounted for 100% of the overall capacity of coal-fired power units.
