Guangqian Company, Huizhou LNGand other companies with strong profitability for natural gas power generation projects have made a greatercontribution to the company's net profit to its parent.

2. Due to the fierce competition in the power market in Yunnan Province, Lincang Company, a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of the Company, has a low on-grid electricity price superposed with large depreciation cost andfinancial cost burden, and has incurred operating losses for four consecutive years. This year, the impairmentprovision for the operating assets group was RMB 118 million.

3. Investment income of the Company to affiliated companies increased year-on-year. The main reason is that theShipping Company made more impairment provision last year, which led to a large loss of investment income ofthe Shipping Company.

Ⅸ.Prospect for future development of the Company

1. The Development Trend of the Industry

Currently, China's power generation industry continues to present a diversified competitive pattern. TheCompany's main power assets are mainly in Guangdong Province, which is with many other power producers andis greatly affected by the power transmission from west to east. China's power production has always beendominated by thermal power. With the rapid development of new and renewable energy sources such as nuclearpower, hydropower, wind power and solar energy in recent ten years, the proportion of thermal power hasdeclined, WHICH has gradually changed from the main power supply to the basic power supply for peakregulation and frequency modulation. In 2020, on behalf of the Chinese government, President Xi Jinping putforward China's "3060" goal in terms of carbon peaking and carbon neutralization. In this environment, in thefuture, the thermal power industry mainly relies on developing large-capacity and high-parameter coal-firedpower and accelerating gas-fired power to optimize its structure, on improving its technical strength to reduceconsumption and increase efficiency, on market to obtain electricity quantity and electricity price, and on finemanagement to reduce costs. Meanwhile, the Company will adhere to the new development concept, continuouslypromote the optimization and adjustment of power supply structure, vigorously develop the construction of newenergy projects, and promote the clean and low-carbon transformation of the Company's energy.

(II) Corporate development strategyAt present, guided by the national energy development strategy, the Company is preparing the "14th Five-YearPlan" in combination with its own condition. In the future, it will focus on energy production and supply, withconsideration of comprehensive energy services, centered by the goals of carbon peaking and carbonneutralization. Based on Guangdong and targeted at the whole country, it will implement the "1+2+3+X" strategy-to build a first-class green low-carbon power listed company, coordinate safety and development, optimize andstrengthen the coal power, gas power and biomass power generation business, and vigorously develop new energy,energy storage, hydrogen energy and land park development. It will fully promote the leap-forward developmentof new energy; Grasp the window phase of thermal power development and accelerate the development andconstruction of key projects; Explore the distribution of multi-energy joint supply project of "integration of sourcenetwork, load and storage", promote the integrated development of "integration of wind, light and fire hydrogenstorage", and build an ecological and civilized power generation enterprise.

(III) Production and operation plansIn 2021, the company's consolidated statement has a budget target value of 78.469 billion kilowatt hours ofon-grid electricity, which is 12.32% higher than the actual on-grid power in 2020; The budgetary target value ofthe main business revenue is RMB 29.624 billion, and an increase of 1.743 million yuan compared to the actualamount of main business operating revenue of RMB 27.881 billion; the budgetary value for the full-year plannedinvestment is RMB 2.29 billion, a decrease of 364 million yuan over the actual completed investment of RMB

2.654 billion in 2020.

Qualitative criteria

Qualitative criteriaQualitative criteria of evaluation towards inner control deficiency of financial report made by company are as follows: Ⅰ, the inner control of financial report should be considered as “significant deficiency” if the following circumstances (including but not limited to) occurred: ① the ineffective environmental control; ② irregularities appearing between company directors, supervisors and senior executives; ③ serious mistakes in the financial statements of the current period found by external audit but not the inner control in the process of operating; ④ ineffective supervision of inner control from directorate and inner audit institution. Ⅱ, the inner control of financial report should be considered as “serious deficiency” if the following circumstances occurred: ① accounting policy chosen and applied is not based on the GAAP; ② anti-irregularity procedure and control measures are not established; ③ very few relative control measures are established or implemented in terms of the accounting treatment related to unconventional or special transaction; ④ one or more deficiencies exist in the control process of final financial report and the authenticity, accuracy and integrity of establishment can not be assured reasonably. Ⅲ common deficiency means, apart from the above “significant deficiency” and “serious deficiency”, other deficiencies exist in the inner control process.Qualitative criteria of evaluation towards inner control deficiency of non-financial report made by company are as follows: ① significant deficiency means one or more combinations of control deficiency which may result in seriously deviating from control goals. ② serious deficiency means one or more combinations of control deficiency whose severity and financial result are less than those of significant deficiency with possibility of deviating company from its control goals. ③ common deficiency means other control deficiencies apart from significant and serious deficiencies.
Quantitative standardA quantitative criterion regards operating receipt and gross value of assets as its yard stick. ① inner control deficiency may lead to loss related to profit statement, which is measured by operating receipt. The amount of misstatement in financial report resulted from the control deficiency or its combination is less than 0.5 percent of the operating receipt, which could be considered as the common deficiency. That would be considered as serious deficiency if the amount of misstatement in financial report resulted from the control deficiency or its combination is more than 0.5 percent but less than 1 percent of the operating receipt. And that would be regarded as significant deficiency if that is more than 1 percent of the operating receipt. ② inner control deficiency may lead to loss related to assets management, which is measured by total assets. The amount of misstatement in financial report resulted from the control deficiency or its combination is less than 0.5 percent of the total assets, which could be considered as the common deficiency. That would be considered as serious deficiency if the amount of misstatement in financial report resulted from the control deficiency or its combination is more than 0.5 percent but less than 1 percent of the total assets. And that would be regarded as significant①the significant deficiency means that the direct property loss is between 50 million yuan .(2) the significant deficiency means hat the direct property loss is between 30 million yuan (including 30 million yuan) ; the serious deficiency means that the direct property loss is between 30 million.

Key Audit MatterHow our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter
(1) Impairment of power related fixed assets and long-term equity investments Refer to Note 2(27)(b)(i), Note 4(10)(b)(iii) and Note 4(13)(a)(vi) to the financial statements (Note 1). Certain subsidiaries and an associate, Weixin Yuntou Yudean Zhaxi Energy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Weixin Yuntou”) of Guangdong Electric Power have been experiencing continuous operating losses in recent years. Taking into account possible future risks, such as the instability of electricity demand, the unstable price of coal used in power generation, the macro-economy and other risk factors, management continuously observed the impairment of the aforesaid subsidiaries' asset groups of generator units (mainly including fixed assets) and the long-term equity investments of the aforesaid associate. As at 31 December 2020, management conducted impairment tests for the aforesaid subsidiaries and associate, and made a provision for impairment at the excess of the carrying amount of asset groups of generator units and long-term equity investments over their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the asset groups was the higher of the fair value, less disposal costs, of the asset groups and the long-term equity investments and the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The calculations of the fair value less disposal costs and the present value of the estimated future cash flows involve management’s significant judgements, including the discount rate, the estimated on-grid electricity price and its growth rate, the estimated electricity sales and its growth rate, the estimated price of coal used in power generation, the estimated asset disposal price and the estimated disposal costs.Our audit procedures for the impairment of power related fixed assets and long-term equity investments mainly include: ? We understood and evaluated the internal control relevant to test the impairment of fixed assets and long-term equity investments and tested the operating effectiveness of key control; ? We involved internal valuers to review and analyse the appropriateness of the method applied by management for the impairment test; ? Based on our understanding of the businesses of the subsidiaries and associate as well as the industry in which they operate, we compared with and analysed the assumptions adopted by management, including the discount rate, the estimated on-grid price and its growth rate, the estimated electricity sales and its growth rate, the estimated price of coal used in power generation, the estimated asset disposal price and the estimated disposal costs; we evaluated the reasonableness of the assumptions on fair value less disposal costs and the present value of the estimated future cash flows: - For the discount rate, we involved internal valuers to evaluate the appropriateness in combination with industry situation; - For the estimated on-grid electricity price and its growth rate, we compared historical growth rates and industry data, and considered market trend; - For the estimated electricity sales, its growth rate, and the estimated price of coal used in power generation, we have compared historical data, approved budgets and business plans, and checked the corresponding supporting documents;

Key Audit Matters (Cont’d)How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter (Cont’d)
(i) Impairment of power related fixed assets and long-term equity investments (Cont’d) As the carrying amounts of fixed assets and long-term equity investments with indication of impairment are significant to the consolidated financial statements of Guangdong Electric Power, and the impairment test of asset groups of generator units and long-term equity investments involves management’s significant estimates and judgements, impairment of power related fixed assets and long-term equity investments is identified as a key audit matter.Our audit procedures for the impairment of power related fixed assets and long-term equity investments mainly include (Cont’d): ? We checked the input data and formulas used in the calculation of the present value of estimated future cash flows, and evaluated the mathematic accuracy; ? We conducted sensitivity analysis on the discount rate and other key assumptions applied by management, and evaluated how the changes in key assumptions (individually or in aggregate) will give rise to different results to further evaluate if there’s any indication of management bias in selecting parameters of key assumptions. Based on the results of the aforesaid work, we found that management's judgements and estimates on the impairment of fixed assets and long-term equity investments are supported by appropriate evidence.
(ii) Recognition of loss for investment in an associate due to provision for impairment of long-term assets Refer to Note 2(11)(b), Note 4(10)(b)(i) to the financial statements. In 2020, Guangdong Yudean Shipping Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Yudean Shipping”), associate of Guangdong Electric Power, has delivered a weaker performance than expected due to the sluggish international shipping market, continuous fluctuation in shipping prices, and rising operating costs. Thus, there is an indication of impairment of related long-term assets, and Yudean Shipping has made provision for impairment of long-term assets. In 2020, Yudean Shipping recognised a net loss of RMB 579,173,582, including a loss of RMB 585,756,126 arising from the provision for impairment loss on long-term assets and a loss of RMB 202,710,755 for investment in Yudean Shipping recognised by Guangdong Electric Power under the equity method. As at 31 December 2020, the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment of Guangdong Electric Power in Yudean Shipping was RMB 241,738,113.Our audit procedures for the recognition of loss for investment in an associate due to provision for impairment of long-term assets mainly include: ? We interviewed management of Yudean Shipping to understand the current year's operating results and the reasons for the loss related to impairment provision; ? We obtained the report of Yudean Shipping on the evaluation of impairment of its main asset groups, and involved an internal valuer to review and analyse the reasonableness of its testing method;

Based on our understanding of the businesses of Yudean Shipping and the industry in which it operates, we compared with and analysed the assumptions adopted by management, including the discount rate, the estimated shipping price and its growth rate, the estimated shipping capacity and its growth rate, and the estimated operating costs; we evaluated the reasonableness of the assumptions adopted by management in the calculations of the fair value, less disposal costs, and the present value of the estimated future cash flows: - For the discount rate, we involved internal valuers to evaluate its appropriateness in combination with industry situation; - For future shipping price and its growth rate, we compared it to historical growth rates and took the current market trend into consideration; - For the estimated shipping capacity and its growth rate, the estimated operating costs, etc., we compared them to the historical data, the approved budget and its business plan and checked the corresponding supporting documents;

(ii) Recognition of loss for investment in an associate due to provision for impairment of long-term assets (Cont’d)Our audit procedures for the recognition of loss for investment in an associate due to provision for impairment of long-term assets mainly include (Cont’d): ? We recalculated the investment loss in Yudean Shipping as recognised by management under equity method, and evaluated the accuracy of the calculation results; ? We checked management's presentation and disclosure of long-term equity investments and investment losses in the financial statements; Based on the results of the above work, we found that management's judgement on the recognition of loss for investment in an associate due to provision for impairment of long-term assets is supported by appropriate evidence.
(iii) Recognition of deferred tax assets related to deductible losses Refer to Note 2(27)(b)(iv) and Note 4(18) to the financial statements. As at 31 December 2020, Guangdong Electric Power recognised the corresponding deferred tax assets for the deductible losses incurred by individual subsidiaries at a total of RMB 216,733,521. According to the financial forecast of the aforesaid subsidiaries in future periods, management recognises deferred tax assets within the limits of which the aforesaid subsidiaries are likely to obtain future taxable income to offset the deductible losses. The financial forecast of the aforesaid subsidiaries in future periods involves significant management judgements, including estimated electricity sales, estimated on-grid electricity price, estimated price of coal used in power generation and other operating expenses.Our audit procedures for the recognition of deferred tax assets related to deductible losses mainly include: ?

Key Audit Matters (Cont’d)How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter (Cont’d)
(iii) Recognition of deferred tax assets related to deductible losses (Cont’d) As the deferred tax assets related to deductible losses are significant to the consolidated financial statements of Guangdong Electric Power, and the financial forecast for future periods involves management’s significant estimates and judgements, the recognition of the deferred tax assets related to tax losses is identified as a key audit matter.Our audit procedures for the recognition of deferred tax assets related to deductible losses mainly include (Cont’d): ? We compared the taxable income estimated by management last year with the actual taxable income for the current year to access the historical accuracy of management’s forecast; ? We reviewed whether the deferred tax assets were recognised within the limits of which the taxable income was likely to be obtained in the future to offset deductible losses and deductible temporary differences. Based on the results of the above work, we found that management's estimates regarding the recognition of deferred tax assets related to deductible losses were supported by appropriate evidence.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether these financial statements as a whole are freefrom material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes ouropinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted inaccordance with CASs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise fromfraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expectedto influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with CASs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professionalscepticism throughout the audit. We also:

? Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraudor error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that issufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involvecollusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

? Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances.

? Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimatesand related disclosures made by management.

? Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and,based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events orconditions that may cast significant doubt on Guangdong Electric Power’s ability to continue as a goingconcern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in ourauditor’s report to the related disclosures in these financial statements or, if such disclosures areinadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to thedate of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause Guangdong Electric Powerto cease to continue as a going concern.

? Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including thedisclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in amanner that achieves fair presentation.

? Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities orbusiness activities within Guangdong Electric Power to express an opinion on the consolidated financialstatements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. Weremain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of theaudit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identifyduring our audit.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements (Cont’d)

We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethicalrequirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters thatmay reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of mostsignificance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters.We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about thematter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated inour report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the publicinterest benefits of such communication.

1General information
Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (“the Company”) is a limited liability company jointly established by Guangdong Electric Power Holding Company, China Construction Bank, Guangdong Province Trust Investment Company, Guangdong Power Development Co., Ltd., Guangdong International Trust and China Guangfa Bank (currently named as Guangdong Guangkong Group Co., Ltd.). The address of the Company’s registered office and head office is F33~F36 South Tower Building of Yudean Square on 2nd Tianhe East Road, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, the People’s Republic of China (“the PRC”). The Company’s parent company is Guangdong Energy Group Co., Ltd. (“GEGC”, previously Guangdong Province Yudean Group Co., Ltd.) and its ultimate controlling shareholder is the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the People’s Government of Guangdong Province.
The Company’s RMB ordinary shares (“A-share”) and domestic listed foreign shares (“B-share”) issued were listed for transactions in Shenzhen Stock Exchange respectively on 26 November 1993 and 28 June 1995. As at 31 December 2020, the total share capital of the Company was RMB 5,250,283,986 with par value of RMB 1 per share.
The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Group”) are principally engaged in the businesses of developing and operating electric power plants in Guangdong Province, Yunnan Province, Hunan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of the PRC. For the information of the Company’s major subsidiaries included in the consolidation scope in the current year, please refer to Note 6(1).
The financial statement have been authorised for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on 8 April 2021.
2Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates
The Group determines specific accounting policies and accounting estimates based on the characteristics of production and operation, which are mainly reflected in the measurement of expected credit losses (“ECLs”) of receivables and contract assets (Note 2(9)), costing of inventory (Note 2(10)), fixed asset depreciation and intangible asset amortisation (Notes 2(13), 2(16)), impairment of long-term assets (Note 2(18)), timing of revenue recognition (Note 2(22)), deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities (Note 2(24)), etc. Details of the Group’s critical judgements, critical accounting estimates and key assumptions used in determining significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 2(27).
(1)Basis of preparation
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises - Basic Standard, and the specific accounting standards and other relevant regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance on 15 February 2006 and in subsequent periods (hereafter collectively referred to as “the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises” or “CASs”) and the disclosure requirements in the Preparation Convention of Information Disclosure by Companies Offering Securities to the Public No. 15 - General Rules on Financial Reporting issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

2Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d)
(1)Basis of preparation (Cont’d)
As at 31 December 2020, the Group’s net current liabilities amounted to RMB 11,825 million, capital commitments contracted for by the Group amounted to RMB 15,286 million, and capital commitments amounted to RMB 392 million, among which the capital expenditure due within one year amounted to RMB 7,882 million. Therefore, the Group is to some extent exposed to liquidity risk. The reason for net current liabilities is that a portion of the Group’s capital expenditure is backed by short-term borrowings and funds in hand. Management of the Company plans to take the following measures to ensure that the Group can continuously obtain sufficient working capital to liquidate debts due within 12 months starting from 31 December 2020, therefore, the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. (a) The Group continuously generates profit after its generator sets have successively been put into production in recent years. Management expects stable cash inflows from operating activities in the future; and
(b) The Group maintains good relations of long-term cooperation with financial institutions (including the Company’s associate Guangdong Energy Group Finance Co., Ltd. (“Energy Group Finance Company”)) in order to obtain sufficient financing credit lines. As at 31 December 2020, the Group’s available credit line approved by financial institutions and government departments amounted to approximately RMB 49,673 million, with RMB 20,092 million from Energy Group Finance Company, RMB 20,881 million from other commercial banks and financial institutions, RMB 4,000 million from issuance of perpetual bonds approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, RMB 3,900 million from issuance of corporate bonds approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and RMB 800 million of quota of medium-term notes financing obtained after the registration in the Interbank Market in China. Among the Group’s available credit line from financial institutions, approximately RMB 14,318 million is due before 31 December 2021. Management has communicated with the financial institutions and hence expected the credit line due before 31 December 2021 to renew the term for another 12 months.
(2)Statement of compliance with the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises
The financial statements of the Group and the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 are in compliance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and truly and completely present the consolidated and company’s financial position of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2020 and their financial performance, cash flows and other information for the year then ended.
(3)Accounting year
The Company’s accounting year starts on 1 January and ends on 31 December.

(5)Business combinations
(a)Business combinations involving enterprises under common control
The consideration paid and net assets obtained by the Group in a business combination are measured at the carrying amount. If the acquiree is acquired from a third party by the ultimate controlling party in a prior year, the consideration paid and net assets obtained by the Group are measured based on the carrying amounts of the acquiree’s assets and liabilities (including the goodwill arising from the acquisition of the acquiree by the ultimate controlling party) presented in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained from the combination and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination is treated as an adjustment to capital surplus (share premium). If the capital surplus (share premium) is not sufficient to absorb the difference, the remaining balance is adjusted against retained earnings. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities.
(b)Business combinations involving enterprises not under common control
The combination cost and identifiable net assets obtained by the Group in a business combination are measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Where the cost of combination exceeds the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised as goodwill; where the cost of combination is lower than the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets, the difference is recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Costs directly attributable to the combination are included in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Transaction costs associated with the issue of equity or debt securities for the business combination are included in the initially recognised amounts of the equity or debt securities.
(6)Preparation of consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which the Group obtains control and are de-consolidated from the date on which such control ceases. For a subsidiary that is acquired in a business combination involving enterprises under common control, it is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when it, together with the Company, comes under common control of the ultimate controlling party. The portion of the net profits realised before the combination date is presented separately in the consolidated income statement.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, where the accounting policies and the accounting periods of the Company and subsidiaries are inconsistent, the financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted in accordance with the accounting policies and the accounting period of the Company. For subsidiaries acquired from business combinations involving enterprises not under common control, the individual financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted based on the fair value of the identifiable net assets at the acquisition date.

2Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d)
(6)Preparation of consolidated financial statements (Cont'd)
All significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealised profits are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The portion of subsidiaries’ shareholders' equity and the portion of subsidiaries’ net profits and losses and comprehensive incomes for the period not attributable to the Company are recognised as minority interests, net profit attributed to minority interests and total comprehensive incomes attributed to non-controlling interests and presented separately in the consolidated financial statements under shareholders' equity, net profits and total comprehensive income respectively. Where the loss for the current period attributable to the minority shareholders of the subsidiaries exceeds the share of the minority interests in the opening balance of equity, the excess is deducted against minority interests. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by the Company to its subsidiaries are fully eliminated against net profit attributable to owners of the parent. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by a subsidiary to the Company are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to owners of the parent and minority interest income in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the subsidiary. Unrealised profits and losses resulting from the sale of assets by one subsidiary to another are eliminated and allocated between net profit attributable to owners of the parent and minority interest income in accordance with the allocation proportion of the parent in the selling subsidiary. If the accounting treatment of a transaction is inconsistent in the financial statements at the Group level and at the Company or its subsidiary level, adjustment will be made from the perspective of the Group.
(7)Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, deposits that can be readily drawn on demand, and short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
(8)Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions are translated into RMB using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into RMB using the spot exchange rates on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from these translations are recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for those attributable to foreign currency borrowings that have been taken out specifically for acquisition or construction of qualifying assets, which are capitalised as part of the cost of those assets. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical costs are translated at the balance sheet date using the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is presented separately in the cash flow statement.

2Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d)
(9)Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
(a)Financial assets
(i)Classification and measurement
Based on the business model for financial asset management and the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets, the Group classifies the financial assets as: a) financial assets measured at amortised cost; b) financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income; c) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial assets are measured at fair value at initial recognition. Related transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets are included in the initially recognised amounts, except for the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction costs of which are recognised directly in profit or loss for the current period. Accounts receivable arising from sales of products or rendering of services (excluding or without regard to significant financing components) are initially recognised at the consideration that is entitled to be charged by the Group as expected.
Debt instruments
The debt instruments held by the Group refer to the instruments that meet the definition of financial liabilities from the perspective of the issuer, and are measured in the following ways:
Measured at amortised cost:
The Group’s business model for financial asset management aims to receive contractual cash flows. The contractual cash flow characteristics of such financial assets are consistent with basic loan arrangement, which means the cash flow generated at certain date is only the payment for the principal and the corresponding interest based on unpaid principal. The interest income of such financial assets is recognised using the effective interest method. Such financial assets are mainly including cash at bank and on hand, accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term receivables, etc. Long-term receivables that are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are included in the current portion of non-current assets.
Equity instruments
Investments in equity instruments, over which the Group has no control, joint control or significant influence, are measured at fair value through profit or loss under financial assets held for trading. In addition, a portion of certain investments in equity instruments not held for trading are designated as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income under other investments in equity instruments. The relevant dividend income of such financial assets is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(9)Financial instruments (Cont'd)
(a)Financial assets (Cont’d)
(ii)Impairment
The Group recognises the loss provision based on ECLs for financial assets and contract assets measured at amortised cost.
Giving consideration to reasonable and supportable information on past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions, as well as the default risk weight, the Group recognises the ECL as the probability-weighted amount of the present value of the difference between the cash flows receivable from the contract and the cash flows expected to collect.
As at each balance sheet date, the ECL of financial instruments at different stages is measured respectively. 12-month ECL provision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 1 that have not had a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition; lifetime ECL provision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 2 that have had a significant increase in credit risk yet without credit impairment since initial recognition; and lifetime ECL provision is recognised for financial instruments in Stage 3 that have had credit impairment since initial recognition.
For the financial instruments with lower credit risk on the balance sheet date, the Group assumes there is no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition and recognises the 12-month ECL provision.
For the financial instruments in Stage 1, Stage 2 and with lower credit risk, the Group calculates the interest income by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount (before deduction of the impairment provision). For the financial instrument in Stage 3, the interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost (after deduction of the impairment provision from the gross carrying amount).
For accounts receivable and contract assets from operating activities such as sales of goods and rendering of service, regardless of whether there is a significant financing component, the Group measures the loss provision using lifetime ECL.
In case the ECL of an individually assessed financial asset cannot be evaluated with reasonable cost, the Group divides the receivables into certain groupings based on credit risk characteristics, and calculates the ECL for the groupings. Basis for determining groupings and provisions is as follows:
Accounts receivable grouping 1Receivables from sales of electricity
Accounts receivable grouping 2Receivables from related parties
Accounts receivable grouping 3Other accounts receivable
Contract assets grouping 1Receivables from related parties
Contract assets grouping 2Other contract assets
Other receivables grouping 1Project expenses paid on behalf, reserves receivable and other receivables

(a)Financial assets (Cont’d)
(ii)Impairment (Cont’d)
Based on the overdue days and lifetime ECL rate, the Group calculates the ECLs of accounts receivable that are classified into groupings with consideration to historical credit losses experience, the current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Based on the exposure at default and the 12-month/lifetime ECL rate, the Group calculates the ECLs of other receivables and long-term receivables that are classified into groupings with consideration to historical credit losses experience, the current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The Group recognises the loss provision made or reversed into profit or loss for the current period.
(iii)Derecognition
A financial asset is derecognised when any of the below criteria is met: (1) the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire; (2) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to the transferee; or (3) the financial asset has been transferred and the Group has not retained control of the financial asset, although the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. When a financial asset is derecognised, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative changes in fair value that are previously recognised directly in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss for the current period, except for those as investments in other equity instruments, the difference aforementioned is recognised in retained earnings instead.
(b)Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition. Financial liabilities of the Group mainly comprise financial liabilities at amortised cost, including notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, borrowings, debentures payable, etc. Such financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred, and subsequently measured using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities that are due within one year (inclusive) are classified as current liabilities; those with maturities over one year but are due within one year (inclusive) as from the balance sheet date are classified as current portion of non-current liabilities. Others are classified as non-current liabilities.

(9)Financial instruments (Cont'd)
(b)Financial liabilities (Cont’d)
A financial liability is derecognised or partly derecognised when the underlying present obligation is discharged or partly discharged. The difference between the carrying amount of the derecognised part of the financial liability and the consideration paid is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.
(c)Determination of fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument that is traded in an active market is determined at the quoted price in the active market. The fair value of a financial instrument that is not traded in an active market is determined by using a valuation technique. In valuation, the Group adopts valuation techniques applicable in the current situation and supported by adequate available data and other information, selects inputs with the same characteristics as those of assets or liabilities considered in relevant transactions of assets or liabilities by market participants, and gives priority to the use of relevant observable inputs. When relevant observable inputs are not available or feasible, unobservable inputs are adopted.
(10)Inventories
(a)Classification
Inventories mainly comprise fuel and spare parts, and are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(b)Valuation of inventories
Cost of fuel is calculated using the weighted average method. Spare parts are amortised in full amount when issued for use.
(c)Basis for determining net realisable values of inventories and method for making provision for decline in the value of inventories
Provision for decline in the value of inventories is determined at the excess amount of the carrying amounts of the inventories over their net realisable value. Net realisable value is determined based on the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and related taxes.
(d)The Group adopts the perpetual inventory system.
(e)Amortisation methods of low-value consumables
Low-value consumables are amortised in full amount.

(11)Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments comprise the Company’s long-term equity investments in its subsidiaries, and the Group’s long-term equity investments in its joint ventures and associates.
A subsidiary is an investee over which the Company is able to exercise control. A joint venture is a joint arrangement which is structured through a separate vehicle over which the Group has joint control together with other parties and only has rights to the net assets of the arrangement based on legal forms, contractual terms and other facts and circumstances. An associate is the investee over which the Group has significant influence by participating in the financial and operating policy decisions.
Investments in subsidiaries are presented in the Company’s financial statements using the cost method, and are adjusted to the equity method when preparing the consolidated financial statements, and investments in joint ventures and associates are accounted for using the equity method.
(a)Determination of investment cost
For long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination involving enterprises under common control, the investment cost shall be the absorbing party’s share of the carrying amount of owners’ equity of the party being absorbed in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party at the combination date; for long-term equity investments acquired through a business combination involving enterprises not under common control, the investment cost shall be the combination cost. For long-term equity investments acquired not through a business combination: for long-term equity investments acquired by payment in cash, the initial investment cost shall be the purchase price actually paid; for long-term equity investments acquired by issuing equity securities, the initial investment cost shall be the fair value of the equity securities issued.
(b)Subsequent measurement and recognition of profit or loss
Long-term equity investments accounted for using the cost method are measured at the initial investment cost. Cash dividends or profit distribution declared by an investee is recognised as investment income in profit or loss for the current period.
For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, where the initial investment cost exceeds the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the investment is initially measured at that cost; where the initial investment cost is less than the Group’s share of the fair value of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the time of acquisition, the difference is included in profit or loss for the current period and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted upwards accordingly.
For long-term equity investments accounted for using the equity method, the Group recognises the investment income according to its share of net profit or loss of the investee. The Group does not recognise further losses when the carrying amounts of the long-term equity investment together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in investees are reduced to zero. However, if the Group has obligations for additional losses and the criteria with respect to recognition of provisions are satisfied, the Group continues recognising the investment losses and the provisions at the amount it expects to undertake. The Group’s share of the changes in investee’s owner's equity other than those arising from the net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and profit distribution is recognised in capital surplus with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amounts of the long-term equity investment. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced by the Group’s share of the profit distribution or cash dividends declared by the investees. Unrealised gains or losses on transactions between the Group and its investees are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s equity interest in the investees, based on which the investment income or losses are recognised. Any losses resulting from transactions between the Group and its investees, which are attributable to asset impairment losses are not eliminated.

(c)Basis for determining existence of control, jointly control or significant influence over investees
Control is the power over investees that can bring variable returns through involvement in related activities of investees and the ability to influence the returns by using such power over investees.
Joint control is the agreed sharing of control over an arrangement, and the decision of activities relating to such arrangement requires the unanimous consent of the Group and other parties sharing control.
Significant influence is the power to participate in making the decisions on financial and operating policies of the investee, but is not control or joint control over making those policies.
(d)Impairment of long-term equity investments
The carrying amounts of long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are reduced to the recoverable amounts when the recoverable amounts are below their carrying amounts (Note 2(18)).
(12)Investment properties
Investment properties, including land use rights that have already been leased out and buildings that are held for the purpose of leasing, are measured initially at cost. Subsequent expenditures incurred in relation to an investment property are included in the cost of the investment property when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and their costs can be reliably measured; otherwise, the expenditures are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.
The Group adopts the cost model for subsequent measurement of investment properties. Buildings and land use rights are depreciated or amortised to their estimated net residual values over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives, the net residual values that are expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation (amortisation) rates of investment properties are as follows:
Estimated useful livesEstimated net residual valuesAnnual depreciation (amortisation) rates
Buildings20 to 40 years0% to 5%2.38% to 4.75%
When an investment property is transferred to owner-occupied property, it is reclassified to fixed asset with the carrying amount determined at the carrying amount of the investment property at the date of the transfer.
The investment property’s estimated useful life, net residual value and depreciation (amortisation) method applied are reviewed and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.
An investment property is derecognised on disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. The net amount of proceeds from sales, transfer, retirement or damage of an investment property after its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.

(13)Fixed assets
(a)Recognition and initial measurement of fixed assets
Fixed assets comprise buildings, power generation equipment, motor vehicles, and other equipment.
Fixed assets are recognised when it is probable that the related economic benefits will flow into the Group and the costs can be reliably measured. Fixed assets purchased or constructed by the Group are initially measured at cost at the time of acquisition. The fixed assets contributed by the State shareholders at the reorganisation of the Company into a corporation are recognised based on the evaluated amounts as approved by the state-owned assets administration department.
Subsequent expenditures incurred for a fixed asset are included in the cost of the fixed asset when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group and the related cost can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All the other subsequent expenditures are recognised in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.
(b)Depreciation methods of fixed assets
Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the assets to their estimated net residual values over their estimated useful lives. For the fixed assets that have been provided for impairment loss, the related depreciation charge is prospectively determined based upon the adjusted carrying amounts over their remaining useful lives.
The estimated useful lives, the estimated net residual values expressed as a percentage of cost and the annual depreciation rates of fixed assets are as follows:
Estimated useful livesEstimated net residual valuesAnnual depreciation rates
Buildings10 to 50 years5%1.90% to 9.50%
Power generation equipment5 to 25 years0% to 5%3.80% to 20.00%
Motor vehicles5 to 15 years0% to 5%6.33% to 20.00%
Other equipment5 to 25 years0% to 5%3.80% to 20.00%
The estimated useful life and the estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied to the asset are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate at each year-end.
(c)The carrying amounts of fixed assets are reduced to the recoverable amounts when the recoverable amounts are below their carrying amounts (Note 2(18)).

2Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d)
(13)Fixed assets (Cont’d)
(d)Basis for identification of fixed assets held under finance leases and related measurement
A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is a finance lease. The leased asset is recognised at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The difference between the recorded amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is accounted for as unrecognised finance charge (Note 2(25)(b)).
Fixed assets held under a finance lease is depreciated on a basis consistent with the depreciation policy adopted for fixed assets that are self-owned. When a leased asset can be reasonably determined that its ownership will be transferred at the end of the lease term, it is depreciated over its estimated useful life; otherwise, the leased asset is depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term and its estimated useful life.
(e)Disposal of fixed assets
A fixed asset is derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The amount of proceeds from disposals on sale, transfer, retirement or damage of a fixed asset net of its carrying amount and related taxes and expenses is recognised in profit or loss for the current period.
(14)Construction in progress
Construction in progress is measured at actual cost. Actual cost comprises construction costs, installation costs, borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalisation and other costs necessary to bring the construction in progress ready for their intended use. Construction in progress is transferred to fixed assets when the assets are ready for their intended use, and depreciation is charged starting from the following month. The carrying amount of construction in progress is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below its carrying amount (Note 2(18)).
(15)Borrowing costs
The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to acquisition and construction of an asset that needs a substantially long period of time for its intended use commence to be capitalised and recorded as part of the cost of the asset when expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs have been incurred, and the activities relating to the acquisition and construction that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use have commenced. The capitalisation of borrowing costs ceases when the asset under acquisition or construction becomes ready for its intended use and the borrowing costs incurred thereafter are recognised in profit or loss for the current period. Capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition or construction of an asset is interrupted abnormally and the interruption lasts for more than 3 months, until the acquisition or construction is resumed.
For special borrowings for the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets, the capitalised amount of the special borrowings is determined by the interest expenses incurred in the period less interest income of the unused borrowings deposited at bank or investment income from temporary investment.

(15)Borrowing costs (Cont’d)
The capitalised amount of general borrowings intended to be used for the acquisition and construction of qualifying assets is determined by the weighted average of the excess of accumulated capital expenditure over capital expenditure of the special borrowings multiplied by the weighted average effective interest rate of the utilised general borrowings. The effective interest rate is the rate at which the future cash flows of the borrowings over the expected lifetime or a shorter applicable period are discounted into the initial recognised amount of the borrowings.
(16)Intangible assets
Intangible assets include land use rights, sea use rights and software, and are measured at cost. The intangible assets contributed by the state-owned shareholders upon the reorganisation of the Group into a corporation are recognised based on the evaluated amounts as approved by the state-owned assets administration department.
(a)Land use rights and sea use rights
Land use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their approved use period of 20 to 70 years. If the acquisition costs of the land use rights and the buildings located thereon cannot be reasonably allocated between the land use rights and the buildings, all of the acquisition costs are recognised as fixed assets.
Sea use rights are amortised on the straight-line basis over their approved use period of 50 years.
(b)Other intangible assets
Fixed assets other than land use rights and sea use rights are amortised on a straight-line-basis over the expected useful lives of 2 to 25 years.
(c)Periodical review of useful life and amortisation method
For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, review of its useful life and amortisation method is performed at each year-end, with adjustment made as appropriate.

(d)Research and development
The expenditure on an internal research and development project is classified into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase based on its nature and whether there is material uncertainty that the research and development activities can form an intangible asset at the end of the project.
Expenditure on the research phase is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on the development phase is capitalised only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
? management intends to complete the intangible asset, and use or sell it; ? it can be demonstrated how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits: products with the application of intangible assets or the intangible assets themselves can prove to have market value, intangible assets for internal use application can prove to be of usefulness; ? there are adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; ? it is technically feasible to complete the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; and ? the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase can be reliably measured.
Other development expenditures that do not meet the conditions above are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred. Development costs previously recognised as expenses are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period. Capitalised expenditure on the development phase is presented as development costs in the balance sheet and transferred to intangible assets at the date that the asset is ready for its intended use.
(e)Impairment of intangible assets
The carrying amount of intangible assets is reduced to the recoverable amount when the recoverable amount is below the carrying amount (Note 2(18)).
(17)Long-term prepaid expenses
Long-term prepaid expenses include the expenditure for improvements to fixed assets held under operating leases, and other expenditures that have been incurred but should be recognised as expenses over more than one year in the current and subsequent years. Long-term prepaid expenses are amortised on the straight-line basis over the expected beneficial period and are presented at actual expenditure net of accumulated amortisation.

2Summary of significant accounting policies and accounting estimates (Cont’d)
(18)Impairment of long-term assets
Fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment properties that are measured at cost and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are tested for impairment if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance sheet date. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an asset impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. Provision for asset impairment is determined and recognised on individual asset basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount of a group of assets to which the asset belongs is determined. A group of assets is the smallest group of assets that is able to generate independent cash inflows. Goodwill that is separately presented in the financial statements is tested at least annually for impairment, irrespective of whether there is any indication that it may be impaired. In conducting the test, the carrying amount of goodwill is allocated to the related asset group or groups of asset groups which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. If the result of the test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset group or a group of asset groups, including the allocated goodwill, is lower than its carrying amount, the corresponding impairment loss is recognised. The impairment loss is first deducted from the carrying amount of goodwill that is allocated to the asset group or group of asset groups, and then deducted from the carrying amounts of other assets within the asset group or group of asset groups in proportion to the carrying amounts of assets other than goodwill.
Once the above asset impairment loss is recognised, it will not be reversed for the value recovered in the subsequent periods.
(19)Employee benefits
Employee benefits refer to all forms of consideration or compensation given by the Group in exchange for service rendered by employees or for termination of employment relationship, which include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits.
(a)Short-term employee benefits
Employee benefits refer to all forms of consideration or compensation given by the Group in exchange for service rendered by employees or for termination of employment relationship, which include short-term employee benefits, post-employment benefits, termination benefits and other long-term employee benefits. The short-term employee benefits actually occurred are recognised as a liability in the accounting period in which the service is rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets. Non-monetary benefits are measured at fair value.
(b)Post-employment benefits
The Group classifies post-employment benefit plans as either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. Defined contribution plans are post-employment benefit plans under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate fund and will have no obligation to pay further contributions; and defined benefit plans are post-employment benefit plans other than defined contribution plans. During the reporting period, the Group's post-employment benefits mainly include basic pensions, unemployment insurance and supplementary pensions, and all of them belong to the defined contribution plans; non-planned expenses provided to retired employees fall under defined benefit plans.

(b)Post-employment benefits (Cont'd)
Basic pensions
The Group’s employees participate in the basic pension plan set up and administered by local authorities of Ministry of Human Resource and Social Security. Monthly payments of premiums on the basic pensions are calculated according to the bases and percentage prescribed by the relevant local authorities. When employees retire, the local labour and social security authorities are obliged to pay the basic pensions to them.
Supplementary pensions
The Group purchases supplementary pensions for employees, and pays insurance premium according to the policies of GEGC.
The amounts based on the above calculations are recognised as liabilities in the accounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period or the cost of relevant assets.
Defined benefit plan
For defined benefit plan, the Group used the projected unit credit method and includes the obligation of the defined benefit plan in the accounting period in which the service has been rendered by the employees, with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the period. The cost of employee benefits arising from defined benefit plans are classified into the following parts:
— service cost (including current service cost as well as gains and losses on curtailments and settlements); — net interest expenses on net liabilities of the defined benefit plan (including interest expenses for obligations of the defined benefit plan); and — Changes arising from remeasurement on net liabilities of defined benefit plans
Service cost and net interest expenses on net liabilities of defined benefit plans are included in profit or loss for the current period. Changes arising from remeasurement on net liabilities of defined benefit plans (including actuarial gains or losses) are included in other comprehensive income.

(c)Termination benefits
The Group provides compensation for terminating the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contracts or as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy before the end of the employment contracts. The Group recognises a liability arising from compensation for termination of the employment relationship with employees, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss for the current period at the earlier of the following dates: 1) when the Group cannot unilaterally withdraw an employment termination plan or a curtailment proposal; 2) when the Group recognises costs or expenses for a restructuring that involves the payment of termination benefits.
Early retirement benefits
The Group offers early retirement benefits to those employees who accept early retirement arrangements. The early retirement benefits refer to the salaries and social security contributions to be paid to and for the employees who accept voluntary retirement before the normal retirement date prescribed by the State, as approved by management. The Group pays early retirement benefits to those early retired employees from the early retirement date until the normal retirement date. The Group accounts for the early retirement benefits in accordance with the treatment for termination benefits, in which the salaries and social security contributions to be paid to and for the early retired employees from the off-duty date to the normal retirement date are recognised as liabilities with a corresponding charge to the profit or loss for the current period. The differences arising from the changes in the respective actuarial assumptions of the early retirement benefits and the adjustments of benefit standards are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.
The termination benefits expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities.
(20)Dividend distribution
Cash dividends are recognised as liabilities in the period in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders’ meeting.
(21)Provisions
Provisions for product warranties, onerous contracts, etc. are recognised when the Group has a present obligation, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation. Factors surrounding a contingency, such as the risks, uncertainties and the time value of money, are taken into account as a whole in reaching the best estimate of a provision. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the best estimate is determined by discounting the related future cash outflows. The increase in the discounted amount of the provision arising from passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
The carrying amount of provisions is reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate.
The Group recognises the loss provision of financial guarantee contracts which provision is based on ECL.
The provisions expected to be settled within one year since the balance sheet date are classified as current liabilities.

(22)Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue at the amount of the consideration which the Group is expected to receive when the customer obtains control over relevant goods or services.
(a)Revenue from sales of electricity and heat energy
Revenue is recognised when electricity and heat energy are supplied to grid companies or customers, and grid companies or customers obtain control over electricity.
(b)Revenue from sales of by-products
Revenue from the sales of goods is recognised when the Group transfers by-products (such as coal ash) produced by electricity generations to the designated delivery place pursuant to the contract or agreement, the recipient resource utilisation confirms receipt and they obtain control over the by-products.
(c)Provision of electric power transaction service
For the electric power transaction service provided by the Group to external parties, upon the receiving of the service, revenue is recognised based on the difference between the purchase price and the selling price of electricity.
(d)Rendering of services
The Group provides maintenance services to external parties. The related revenue is recognised based on the stage of completion within a certain period, which is determined based on proportion of costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs. On the balance sheet date, the Group re-estimates the stage of completion to reflect the actual status of contract performance.
When the Group recognises revenue based on the stage of completion, the amount with unconditional collection right obtained by the Group is recognised as accounts receivable, and the rest is recognised as contract assets. Meanwhile, loss provision for accounts receivable and contract assets are recognised on the basis of ECLs (Note 2(9)). If the contract price received or receivable exceeds the amount for the completed service, the excess portion will be recognised as contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities under the same contract are presented on a net basis.
Contract costs include contract performance costs and contract acquisition costs. The costs incurred by the Group for the rendering of maintenance services are recognised as contract performance costs and are carried forward to the cost of main operations based on the stage of completion when associated revenue is recognised.

(23)Government grants
Government grants refer to the monetary or non-monetary assets obtained by the Group from the government, including tax return, financial subsidy, etc.
Government grants are recognised when the grants can be received and the Group can comply with all attached conditions. If a government grant is a monetary asset, it will be measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is a non-monetary asset, it will be measured at its fair value. If it is unable to obtain its fair value reliably, it will be measured at its nominal amount.
Government grants related to assets refer to government grants which are obtained by the Group for the purposes of purchase, construction or acquisition of the long-term assets. Government grants related to income refer to the government grants other than those related to assets.
Government grants related to assets are recorded as deferred income and recognised in profit or loss on a reasonable and systemic basis over the useful lives of the assets.
Government grants related to daily operation that compensate future costs, expenses or losses are recorded as deferred income and recognised in profit or loss in reporting the related costs, expenses or losses; government grants related to income that compensate incurred costs, expenses or losses are recognised in profit or loss directly in the current period. For other government grants related to income that compensate the future costs, expenses or losses are recorded as deferred income and deducted against related costs in reporting the related costs, expenses or losses; government grants related to income that compensate the incurred costs, expenses or losses are deducted against related costs. The Group applies the presentation method consistently to the similar government grants in the financial statements.
Government grants that are related to ordinary activities are included in operating profit, otherwise, they are recorded in non-operating income or expenses.
For the policy loans with favourable interest rates, the Group records the loans at the actual amounts and calculates the interests by loan principals and the favourable interest rates.

(24)Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are calculated and recognised based on the differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts (temporary differences). Deferred tax asset is recognised for the deductible losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years for deduction of the taxable profit in accordance with the tax laws. No deferred tax liability is recognised for a temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of goodwill. No deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability is recognised for the temporary differences resulting from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities due to a transaction other than a business combination, which affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss). At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are only recognised for deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible temporary differences, deductible losses and tax credits can be utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of the temporary difference, and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. When it is probable that the temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures will be reversed in the foreseeable future and that the taxable profit will be available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilised, the corresponding deferred tax assets are recognised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when:
? the deferred tax assets and liabilities are related to the same tax payer within the Group and the same taxation authority; and, ? that tax payer within the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

(25)Leases
A lease that transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset is a finance lease. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease.
(a)Operating leases
Lease payments under an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease, and are either capitalised as part of the cost of related assets, or charged as an expense for the current period. Rental income from an operating lease is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
For the rental waivers as a result of COVID-19 and for the period ended 30 June 2021 only, the Group applies the practical expedient and records the waivers in profit or loss in the waiving period.
(b)Finance leases
The leased asset is recognised at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The difference between the recorded amount of the leased asset and the minimum lease payments is accounted for as unrecognised finance charge and is amortised using the effective interest method over the period of the lease.

(27)Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The Group continually evaluates the critical accounting estimates and key judgements applied based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
(a)Critical judgements in applying the accounting policies
(i)Classification of financial assets
Significant judgements made by the Group in the classification of financial assets include business model and analysis on contractual cash flow characteristics.
The Group determines the business model for financial asset management on the grouping basis, and factors to be considered include the methods for evaluating financial asset performance and reporting the financial asset performance to key management personnel, the risks affecting financial asset performance and corresponding management methods, the ways in which related business management personnel are remunerated, etc.
The major judgement in determining whether the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets is in consistency of the borrowing arrangement includes: whether there is a change in the amount of principal or the timing of the duration when repayment in advance and etc. occurs; whether the mere considerations of interest are time value of the money, credit risk, other basic risks of debt and consideration for cost and profit. For example, whether the amount of prepayment only reflects the principal outstanding and the interest based on the principal outstanding, as well as the reasonable compensation due to the early termination of the contract.
(ii)Determination of significant increase in credit risk
The main criteria for the Group to determine if there is a significant increase in credit risk are that one or more of the following indicators change significantly: the debtor's business environment, internal and external credit rating, significant changes in the actual or expected business results, and significant decreases in the value of the collateral or the guarantor's credit rating.
Judgement of the Group on the occurred credit impairment is mainly based on whether it meets one or more of the following conditions: the debtor is suffering significant financial difficulties, engaged in other debt restructuring, or probably bankrupt, etc.

(iii)Point of revenue recognition
With regard to sales of electricity to grid companies, the Group supplies electricity to grid companies in accordance with the contract. Then grid companies have the right to sell electricity and set price at its sole discretion, and take the risks of any price fluctuation and damages or losses of the products. The Group believes that the grid companies obtain control over electric power upon receiving the electric. Therefore, revenue is recognised accordingly.
(b)Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions
The critical accounting estimates and key assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next accounting year are outlined below:
(i)Accounting estimates on impairment of long-term assets
As described in Note 2(18), fixed assets, construction in progress, intangible assets with finite useful lives, investment properties that are measured at cost and long-term equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are tested for impairment if there is any indication that an asset may be impaired at the balance sheet date. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, a provision for impairment and an impairment loss are recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. These calculations require use of accounting estimates (Note 4(20)).
When assessing whether the above assets are impaired, management mainly evaluates and analyses: (i) whether events affecting asset impairment occurred; (ii) whether the present value of expected cash flows arising from the continuing use or disposal of the asset is lower than its carrying amount; and (iii) whether the significant assumptions used in the calculation of the present value of the estimated cash flows are appropriate.
Relevant assumptions adopted by the Group to determine impairment, e.g. changes in assumptions on discount rate, growth rate and gross margins used to calculate the present value of future cash flows, may have material impact on the present value used in the impairment test, and cause impairment in the above-mentioned long-term assets of the Group.

(b)Critical accounting estimates and key assumptions (Cont’d)
(ii)Measurement of ECLs
The Group calculates ECLs through default risk exposure and ECL rate, and determines the ECL rate based on default probability and default loss rate. In determining the ECL rate, the Group uses data such as internal historical credit loss experience, etc., and adjusts historical data based on current conditions and forward-looking information. When considering forward-looking information, the Group considered different macroeconomic scenarios. Significant macroeconomic assumptions related to the estimation of ECLs include the risk of economic downturn, the external market environment, the technological environment, changes in customer conditions, gross domestic product, consumer price index, etc. The Group regularly monitors and reviews assumptions related to the calculation of ECLs. In 2020, the Group updated values of forward-looking parameters used in ECL model to reflect the impact of COVID-19 on ECLs of financial instrument in a timely manner.
(iii)Depreciation period and residual values of fixed assets
The depreciation period and residual values of fixed assets are determined by management after taking into account their durability and past maintenance records based on the industry practice, and are reviewed at each year-end with appropriate adjustments made accordingly.
Any changes in the depreciation period and residual values of fixed assets may have significant impact on the Group’s net profit.
(iv)Income tax and deferred income tax
The Group is subject to enterprise income tax in numerous jurisdictions. There are some transactions and events for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Significant judgement is required from the Group in determining the provision for income taxes in each of these jurisdictions. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

(iv)Income tax and deferred income tax (Cont’d)
Deferred tax assets are recognised for the deductible tax losses that can be carried forward to subsequent years to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available in the future against which the deductible tax losses can be utilised. Taxable profit that will be available in the future includes the taxable profit that will be realised through normal operations and the taxable profit that will be increased upon the reversal of taxable temporary differences incurred in prior periods. Judgements and estimates are required to determine the time and amounts of taxable profit in the future. Any difference between the reality and the estimate may result in adjustment to the carrying amount of deferred tax assets.

(b)Associates (Cont'd)
(i)Since 2019, Yudean Shipping, an associate of the Company, has been affected by the global economic downturn, fierce competition in the shipping industry and COVID-19, resulting in continuous fluctuation in shipping prices. Due to production reduction in petroleum exporting countries, the tense geopolitical relationship and the implementation of the new environmental protection policy, the operating costs are showing a trend of fluctuation and increase. In addition, the frequency and cost of plant repairs in the future will increase as the competent authorities tighten the management of the special inspection for ships over 28 years and the frequency of plant repairs. Thus, there is an indication of impairment of related long-term assets, as Yudean Shipping has delivered a weaker performance than expected due to profit reduction. In 2019, Yudean Shipping recognised a net loss of RMB 1,360,556,144, and the Company recognised a loss of RMB 476,194,650 for investment in Yudean Shipping at the equity method. In 2020, Yudean Shipping continuously monitored the impairment of related long-term assets. As at 31 December 2020, Yudean Shipping carried out the impairment test for long-term assets and made further provision for impairment of fixed assets based on the testing results. In 2020, Yudean Shipping recognised a net loss of RMB 579,173,582, including a loss of RMB 585,756,126 arising from the provision for impairment loss on long-term assets and the Company recognised a loss of RMB 202,710,755 for investment in Yudean Shipping at the equity method. The Company reviewed the testing results and assessed the impairment of the long-term equity investment in Yudean Shipping. As at 31 December 2020, the carrying amount of the Company’s long-term equity investment in Yudean Shipping was RMB 241,738,113. The Company’s long-term equity investment in Yudean Shipping was not exposed to any further impairment risk.
(ii)In 2020, the Company, GEGC and Upper Horn Investment Co., Ltd. entered into the capital increase agreement, which stipulated that the Company would contribute RMB 512,958,282 in cash for the new registered capital of RMB 500,000,000 of Energy Financial Leasing Company and hold 25% of the equity of Energy Financial Leasing Company after the capital increase. In November 2020, the Company completed the capital increase and obtained 25% of the equity of Energy Financial Leasing Company. In accordance with the Articles of Association of Energy Financial Leasing Company, after the capital increase, Energy Financial Leasing Company would establish five seats in the Board of Directors, of which the Company has one director, who can exert significant influence on Energy Financial Leasing Company. Therefore, Energy Financial Leasing Company became an associate of the Company. As at the completion date of the capital increase, the Company recognised the difference between the initial investment cost of RMB 512,958,282 and the share of carrying amount of owner’s equity of Energy Financial Leasing Company presented in the consolidated financial statements of the ultimate controlling party GEGC in non-operating income of RMB 8,549,071 (Note 4(53)) and adjusted the investment cost to RMB 521,507,353.

(iii)In 2019, the Company's associate, Weixin Yuntou, was affected by the fierce competition of rich and cheap hydropower in Yunnan Province. Weixin Yuntou only received a small amount of thermal power generation quotas, and there was continuous operating loss after deducting gains on disposal of non-recurring assets in 2019. As at 31 December 2019, the Company conducted an impairment test on the long-term equity investments in Weixin Yuntou. As the carrying amount of the long-term equity investments was lower than their recoverable amount, the provision for impairment of long-term equity investments was RMB 71,317,168. In 2020, Weixin Yuntou experienced continuous operating losses, and the Company recognised a loss of RMB 20,630,582 for investment in Weixin Yuntou at the equity method. As at 31 December 2020, the carrying amount of the Company’s long-term equity investments in Weixin Yuntou was RMB 175,592,218. Based on prudential principal, the Company conducted an impairment test on the long-term equity investments in Weixin Yuntou again. As the carrying amount of the long-term equity investments was higher than their recoverable amount, no further impairment provision was made by the Company in 2020.
(iv)In 2020, other changes in equity from long-term equity investments in associates were changes in capital surplus of RMB 5,343,382 (2019: changes in capital surplus of RMB 5,813,698 and changes in undistributed profits of RMB 1,015,404).

(vi)Impairment of fixed assets (Cont’d)
Note 1Impairment of related asset groups of certain subsidiaries that have suffered continuous operating loss in recent years
In 2020 and previous years, certain subsidiaries of the Group were affected by sharp fluctuations in the price of coal used in power generation, the marketisation of the electricity industry and other factors, and there was continuous operating loss and indications of impairment, and the accumulated provision for impairment at the excess of the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows of fixed assets in previous years was made. Taking into consideration risks that may exist in the future, such as the instability of electricity demand and the price of coal used in power generation, macro economy and other factors, the Group continuously monitored the impairment of the above-mentioned subsidiaries' power generation asset groups (mainly including fixed assets) in 2020. Due to the fierce competition in the hydroelectric power market in Yunnan Province, Lincang Energy, a subsidiary of the Group, suffered from continuous operating loss. In 2018, the Group made a provision of RMB 82,261,857 for the impairment of fixed assets for the relevant asset groups of generator units of Lincang Energy. The Group conducted impairment tests on the relevant asset groups of generator units of Lincang Energy again in 2020. As the carrying amount of the relevant asset groups was lower than the recoverable amount, the provision for the impairment of fixed assets was RMB 118,339,800. The above recoverable amount was determined based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the asset groups, and the value evaluation model adopted the pre-tax discount rates of 9.95%.
Note 2In 2020, Bohe Energy obtained approval from Guangdong Development and Reform Committee. As the alternative capacity of some generator units could not be approved, management expected that the alternative capacity of these units would not be available for subsequent project construction or sales. Therefore, a provision of RMB 208,000,000 for impairment of fixed assets was made to the capitalised acquisition cost of the alternative capacity of these generator units.
Note 3Pursuant to the Circular on Shutdown of 1# Generator Unit of Shajiao A Power Plant and 2# Generator Unit of Shajiao B Power Plant ([2018] No. 5354) and the Request on Retirement of Shajiao Power Plant and Construction of Alternative Power Source ([2018] No. 361) issued by Guangdong Development and Reform Commission, 1# generator unit of Shajiao A Power Plant was shut down in November 2018, 2# and 3# generator units were shut down in December 2019 and 4# and 5# generator units are expected to be shut down by the end of 2023. In 2018, the Group made a provision for impairment of power generation equipment related to 1# generator unit, amounting to RMB 40,395,369, and made accelerated depreciation of 1-5# generator units since 1 January 2019. In 2020, the Group carried out tests for impairment of 2# and 3# generator units of Shajiao A Power Plant and made a provision for impairment, amounting to RMB 52,051,098. In addition, the Group transferred part of the equipment related to 1#, 2# and 3# generator units which have been approved for scrapping to fixed assets pending for disposal, and the provision for impairment of fixed assets amounting to RMB 107,070,194 was transferred out accordingly.

Note 1Preparation work including preliminary feasibility studies, design and three supplies and one levelling have proceeded for the project. However, influenced by national policies upon the industry, the project has stagnated for years and signs of entire assets impairment have occurred. After impairment test, management has recorded provision for impairment of the project against its full carrying amount in 2017.

(ii)Provision for impairment of construction in progress (Cont’d)
Note 2Upfront expenses for 5# and 6# generator units of Red Bay and Jinghai mainly represent expenses on preliminary feasibility studies, design and three supplies and one levelling. In recent years, the national energy industry distribution and the project planning of competent authorities has left the project stagnant. In 2020, management reassessed the feasibility of the project, and concluded that it was less likely to proceed with the project. Thus, management recorded provision for impairment of construction in progress in full amount in the current year.
(iii)As at 31 December 2020, some generator units under construction were waiting for the approval documents. Management expected to obtain the relevant approval documents as scheduled. In addition, management expected stable cash inflows from operating activities once the new generator units were put into production. Therefore, the risk of impairment of such units was low.
(iv)In 2018, Bohe Energy sold part of its construction in progress of power plants to the Energy Financial Leasing Company at RMB 1,000,000,000 in total through finance leases arising from sales and leaseback, with the sales proceeds of RMB 900,000,000 and RMB 100,000,000 respectively received in 2018 and 2019. In 2020, as the main work of Bohe Energy integration project was completed and transferred to fixed assets, the book balance of construction in progress arising from finance leases amounting to RMB 1,000,000,000 was transferred to fixed assets. As at 31 December 2020, Bohe Energy had no book balance of construction in progress arising from finance leases (2019: RMB 1,000,000,000).
In 2020, the Group acquired part of Wailuo offshore wind power project (Phase II) of Qujie Wind Power and part of Xinliao offshore wind power project under finance leases. As at 31 December 2020, the book balance of construction in progress arising from Wailuo offshore wind power project (Phase II) of Qujie Wind Power under finance leases was RMB 15,707,964 (31 December 2019: Nil) and the book balance of construction in progress arising from Xinliao offshore wind power project under finance leases was RMB 419,647,262 (31 December 2019: Nil). In addition, the book balance of RMB 641,571,902 of construction in progress arising from Wailuo offshore wind power project (Phase I) under finance leases was transferred to fixed assets in 2020 (31 December 2019: RMB 496,524,360).

(a)In 2013, the Group acquired 55% shares in Guangdong Wind Power with a combination cost of RMB 5,994,670. The excess of the combination cost over the fair value of the Group’s share of Guangdong Wind Power’s identifiable net assets amounted to RMB 2,449,886 and was recognised as goodwill related to Guangdong Wind Power. On 31 December 2020, the Group conducted impairment tests on goodwill related to Guangdong Wind Power. The results showed that the recoverable amount of asset group related to Guangdong Wind Power (including goodwill) was higher than its carrying amount, and there was no risk of impairment (31 December 2019: There was no risk of impairment).
(b)On 5 January 2015, the Group exchanged for 51.00% of the equity in Lincang Energy held by third parties with 14.34% of equity in Weixin Yuntou. The excess of the combination cost over the fair value of the Group’s share of Lincang Energy’s identifiable assets and liabilities amounted to RMB 25,036,894 and was recognised as goodwill related to Lincang Energy. In the test of goodwill impairment in 2018, the Group compared the carrying amount of related asset groups (including goodwill) of Lincang Energy with its recoverable amount, and recorded a provision of RMB 25,036,894 for impairment of the goodwill.

(a)Unrealised losses on sales and leaseback are the difference between the selling price of the power generation equipment and its carrying amount, and its remaining balance after depreciation was based on the depreciation progress of the leaseback power generation equipment. In 2020, the unrealised losses on sales and leaseback, which were amortised in depreciation expenses in cost of sales, amounted to RMB 13,577,182 (2019: RMB: 16,764,193).
(b)On 29 December 2020, Guangdong Wind Power, a subsidiary of the Group, entered into an equity transfer agreement with Guangdong Guangye Investment Group Co., Ltd. (“Guangye Investment Group”). Guangdong Wind Power intended to acquire 51% equity of Guangdong Guangye Nanhua New Energy Co., Ltd. (“Nanhua New Energy”) held by Guangye Investment Group, at a consideration of RMB 93,381,000. As at 31 December 2020, Guangdong Wind Power had paid the equity acquisition of RMB 93,381,000 in full amount. As at 31 December 2020, as the registration for changes of business license of Nanhua New Energy had not been completed and Guangdong Wind Power had not obtained substantive control over Nanhua New Energy, the relevant equity acquisition was included in other non-current assets, and relevant equity transactions would be completed in 2021.
As at 31 December 2020, Guangdong Wind Power (a subsidiary of the Group) entered into an equity transfer agreement with Guangye Investment Group, intending to acquire 51% equity of Guangdong Yueneng Datang Renewable Power Co., Ltd. (“Datang Renewable Power”) held by Guangye Investment Group, at a consideration of RMB 161,858,100. As at 31 December 2020, as the registration for changes of business license of Datang Renewable Power had not been completed and Guangdong Wind Power had not obtained substantive control over Datang Renewable Power, the relevant equity acquisition was included in other non-current assets, and relevant equity transactions would be completed in 2021.
(c)In July 2020, the Group’s subsidiary Guangdong Province Wind Power Generation Co., Ltd. (“Guangdong Wind Power”) and Beijing Guangdun New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Guangdun New Energy”) signed the Equity Acquisition Framework Agreement of Dachengxian Dun’An New Energy Co., Ltd. The agreement stipulated that if the Ziya River wind power plant project of Dachengxian Dun‘An New Energy Co., Ltd. (“Dun’An New Energy”) (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guangdun New Energy) was put into operation before 31 December 2021, Guangdong Wind Power acquired 100% equity of Dun’An New Energy from Guangdun New Energy. In December 2020, Guangdong Wind Power paid the equity acquisition deposit of RMB 80,000,000 in accordance with the agreement. Due to the uncertainty of pre-conditions regarding the acquisition of underlying equity and the fact that the margin is recoverable after the actual closing date of the equity acquisition and does not constitute a part of the acquisition, the margin is included in other non-current assets.

(c)On 4 June 2020, Pinghai Power and the Department of Natural Resources of Huizhou Bureau signed An agreement on the recovery of land use rights, which agreed that the Department of Natural Resources of Huizhou Bureau would recover part of the land originally intended for construction of the new construction project of Pinghai Power based on the market value of the land for state-owned construction. The contract consideration is subject to the assessment on the value of the land. As at 31 December 2020, the Department of Natural Resources of Huizhou Bureau had paid land reserve of RMB 39,253,600 to Pinghai Power in advance. As the final contract consideration was still under evaluation, the Group recognised the advances from land reserve as other payables.
(d)State Oceanic Administration penalty payable refers to the penalties amounting to RMB 172,144,350 and RMB 11,531,700 respectively imposed by the Administration of Ocean and Fisheries of Guangdong Province and the Administration of Ocean and Fisheries of Huidong County with penalty notice in 2016 and 2018 against Pinghai Power due to its unapproved execution of engineering and bank revetment project from August 2007 to June 2016. The penalties had been recorded as non-operating expenses in 2016 and 2018 respectively. Pinghai Power had appealed for the aforesaid matter, and on 23 August 2019, Guangdong High People’s Court overruled such appeal and upheld the original judgement as the final judgement. As at 16 December 2019, Pinghai Power paid up penalty of RMB 172,144,350 to the Administration of Ocean and Fisheries of Guangdong Province, with outstanding penalty of RMB 11,531,700 payable to the Administration of Ocean and Fisheries of Huidong County. As at the issuance date of the report, Pinghai Power was still waiting for the administrative judgement by Guangzhou Maritime Affairs Court. According to the Agreement on Share Issuance and Asset Procurement entered into by GEGC and the Company in 2012, GEGC makes commitments that, if the target company’s activities before the closing date cause itself potential significant litigation, arbitration, administrative punishment and/or other events that go against relevant laws and regulations and fail to present in the target asset prices as well as in the net asset value of the target company determined in the special audit on the closing date, any damage caused by such activities to the Company would be compensated by GEGC timely and sufficiently in cash based on the equity of target company transferred to the Company in the transaction within 30 days after GEGC legally determines the actual losses caused by such activities. As at the issuance date of the report, with consultation and communication between the Company and GEGC still underway, no specific compensation solution was reached and thus no income related to such compensation matters was recognised in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.
(e)The above dividend payable refers to dividend payable for non-tradable shares reform that is in the process of completing necessary formalities. The payment will be arranged after the formalities are completed.

According to the document issued by Yunnan Water Conservancy & Hydropower Investment Co., Ltd.

The corresponding interest was recorded in the financial expenses by the Company.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group accrued termination benefits of RMB 167,123,612 (31 December 2019: RMB 131,071,031) and recognised it in long-term employee benefits payable. The actual termination benefits due within one year totalling RMB 32,292,293 (31 December 2019: RMB 29,071,494) were recognised in employee benefits payable.
(b)In accordance with the FAQ on Social Management of Retired Employees in State-owned Enterprises (Guo Zi Ting Fa Gai Ge [2020 No. 36) issued by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, the Group made a one-time provision for the existing retirement pensions paid to retired employees, and the retirement pensions are paid on a monthly basis. The Group’s retirement pensions mainly include retirement subsidies, military transfer subsidies and living allowances for retired primary and secondary school teachers. The expected present values of cash flows that shall be paid for retirement pensions during the expected remaining life of the retired employees are recognised as long-term employee benefits payable and recorded in profit or loss for the current period. As at 31 December 2020, the Group calculated the expected expense for each year up to the expected remaining life based on certain proportion of the retired employee’s retirement pensions of the year, and estimated the present value of cash expenses for future retirement pensions by treasury bond interest rate of 3.97% of the same period. As at 31 December 2020, the Group accrued defined benefit plans of RMB 35,749,463 and recognised it in long-term employee benefits payable. The actual termination benefits due within one year totalling RMB 7,742,552 are recognised in employee benefits payable.

(34)Long-term employee benefits payable (Cont'd)
(b)(Cont’d)
As at 31 December 2020, significant actuarial assumptions for the determination of the present value of the obligations of the defined benefit plan were as follows:
31 December 2020
Discount rates3.97%
Growth rates on military transfer subsidies2% to 12%
Growth rates on retirement allowances0%
Growth rates on living allowances for retired primary and secondary school teachers0%
Assumptions regarding expected remaining life are determined in terms of published statistical data and records of each region on an actuarial basis.
The sensitivity analysis below has been carried out based on reasonably possible changes of the respective assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period, while all other assumptions are held constant.
If the discount rate decreases by 0.5%, the present value of the obligations of the defined benefit plan will increase by RMB 1,893,973. If the life expectancy increases 0.5%, the present value of the obligations of the defined benefit plan will increase by RMB 2,654,517.
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not reflect the actual changes in the obligations of the defined benefit plan because it is unlikely that changes in one assumption would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
(c)According to relevant regulations on social medical insurance in places where the Company and some subsidiaries of the Group locate, if individual employees participating basic medical insurance for urban residents are under their statutory ages of retirement, but their estimated contribution years fail to meet the local standards, the Group needs to make continuous contribution for the employees till the standards are met even after their retirement. The expected present values of cash flows that shall be paid for medical insurance after the retirement of employees till prescribed terms are recognised as long-term employee benefits payable and recorded in profit or loss for the current period. As at 31 December 2020, the balance of the Group’s other long-term employee benefits payable was mainly the additional payment of medical insurance made for retired employees. The Group calculated the expected expenses for each year from the end of current year to regulated contribution years based on certain proportion of the retired employee’s salary of the year, and estimated the present value of cash expenses made by retired employees for medical insurance in the future, with a treasury bond interest rate of 3.97% (2019: 4.27%) as discount rate. As at 31 December 2020, the Group accrued other long-term employee benefits payable of RMB 63,920,439 (31 December 2019: RMB 42,309,058), with actual payment of other long-term employee benefits payable due within one year of RMB 8,214,926 (31 December 2019: RMB 9,319,735) recognised in employee benefits payable.
(d)Long-term employee benefits payable included in profit or loss for the current period in 2020 were as follows:

20202019
Consolidated net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent company1,746,280,1321,146,767,033
Weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares of the Company5,250,283,9865,250,283,986
Basic earnings per share0.330.22
Including:
- Basic earnings per share from continuing operations:0.330.22
- Basic earnings per share for discontinued operations:--
(b)Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent company adjusted based on the dilutive potential ordinary shares by the adjusted weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. In 2020, there were no dilutive potential ordinary shares (2019: Nil), and hence diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share.

(i)On 30 November 2018, Energy Thermal merged Guangdong Energy Maoming Thermal Power Station Co., Ltd., wholly-owned by GEGC. After the merger, GEGC held 30.12% equity of Energy Thermal. According to the agreement between the Company and GEGC, the delegated shareholder and director from GEGC maintain consensus with those of the Company while exercising the voting rights during the shareholders’ meeting and the Board of Directors’ meeting at Energy Thermal. Therefore, the Company owns control power over Energy Thermal. In addition, pursuant to the consent agreement entered into between the Company and GEGC, the Company holds 61.33% voting rights in Zhencheng Comprehensive, a subsidiary whose 80% equity is directly held by Energy Thermal. Therefore, the Company owns control power over Zhencheng Comprehensive.

(“Huaxia Electric”), which holds 40% equity in Pinghai Power, the delegated shareholder and director from Huaxia Electric maintain consensus with those of GEGC when exercising their voting rights during the shareholders’ meeting and Board of Directors’ meeting at Pinghai Power; besides, after GEGC transfers its 45% equity in Pinghai Power to the Company, the delegated shareholder and director from Huaxia Electric also reach consensus with those of the Company when exercising their voting rights during the shareholders’ meeting and Board of Directors’ meeting at Pinghai Power.

(i)In order to perform the Loan Agreement for the Guangdong Yudean Yangjiang Shapa offshore wind power project signed between the People's Republic of China (“PRC”) and New Development Bank (“NDB”) (“Loan Agreement with NDB”) on 3 December 2019, Project Agreement signed between NDB and People’s Government of Guangdong Province (“provincial government”) (“Project Agreement with NDB”), Loan Transfer Agreement signed between the Ministry of Finance and the provincial government (“Loan Transfer Agreement with the Ministry of Finance”) and Loan Transfer Agreement signed between the Department of Finance of Guangdong Province and GEGC (“Loan Transfer Agreement with the Department of Finance of Guangdong Province”), Yangjiang Wind Power signed Loan Transfer Agreement with GEGC (Loan Transfer Agreement with GEGC) in 2020, specifying that GEGC shall transfer loans of RMB 2,000,000,000 (“Project Loan”) to Yangjiang Wind Power; meanwhile, the Company signed a joint liability guarantee contract with GEGC, specifying that the Company provides joint liability guarantee for all liabilities of Yangjiang Wind Power under the Loan Transfer Agreement with GEGC on behalf of GEGC to the Department of Finance of Guangdong Province from 3 December 2019 to 15 September 2043, and the guarantee scope includes but not limited to principal and interest. As at 31 December 2020, Yangjiang Wind Power borrowed credit loan of RMB 322,804,259 from NDB, with interests payable of RMB 258,728.
The above Project Loan was transferred to the provincial government by the Ministry of Finance under the country’s authorisation according to the same loan conditions, then transferred to GEGC by the Department of Finance of Guangdong Province under the provincial government’s authorisation, and finally transferred to Yangjiang Wind Power by GEGC. The above Project Loan was actually provided in entrusted payment. The cash would not flow through the bank accounts of the Ministry of Finance, Department of Finance of Guangdong Province and GEGC, and Yangjiang Wind Power, the actual debtor of the Project Loan, directly withdrew and repaid the loan through its account of NDB. The Project Loan was guaranteed by the Company for GEGC, and actually the Company provided guarantee for the Project Loan obtained by Yangjiang Wind Power from NDB. Therefore, after consulting the Company’s legal adviser, management considered that joint liability guarantee provided by the Group for GEGC would not constitute GEGC’s occupation of the Group’s funds.

(1)As at 31 December 2020, the Company provided joint guarantee for bank borrowings amounting to RMB 60,320,000 for Yunnan Baoshan Binlangjiang Hydroelectricity Development Co., Ltd., of which the liability relief procedure is being handled.
(2)On 31 December 2014, in response to the occupation of 15.0202 hectares of paddy fields during the construction of Dapu Electric’s engineering project (Phrase I), Dapu Power Plant had paid paddy fields cultivation fund of RMB 3,965,332 in full as required by the Ministry of Land and Resources and Guangdong Provincial Department of Natural Resources. However, on 29 June 2020, the Department of Natural Resources of Dapu County issued a letter to Dapu Electric, requiring Dapu Electric to pay additional fields cultivation fund of RMB 10,679,362 according to relevant regulations of paddy fields cultivation in 2016. However, according to the suggestion of legal adviser, Dapu Electric considered that the above relevant regulations were not applicable. As at the issuance date of the report, the two parties were still negotiating on that matter. According to the suggestion of legal adviser, management of the Group could not estimate the negotiation result, thus no expenses related to the occupation of paddy fields were presented in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

(3)Assessment on the impact of adopting the new lease standard
In 2018, the Ministry of Finance revised and issued the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 21 - Lease (“new lease standard”). The Group adopted the standard from 1 January 2021. Under the new lease standard, for a lessee, no classification of an operating lease or a finance lease should be made, and almost all leases should be recognised in the balance sheet except low-value or short-term leases. As a lessee, the Group measures lease liabilities at the value of the remaining lease payments discounted using the Group’s incremental borrowing rate as of 1 January 2021 at the initial application date and recognises right-of-use assets at the amount equal to lease liabilities, with no effect on net assets of the Group. Upon evaluation, management expects that the new lease standard will not have a significant influence on the Group's financial position and performance.
(4)Significant equity acquisitions
(i)On 29 December 2020, Guangdong Wind Power, a subsidiary of the Group, entered into an equity transfer agreement with Guangye Investment Group.

In January 2021, as the registration for changes of business license of Nanhua New Energy had been completed and Guangdong Wind Power had obtained substantive control over Nanhua New Energy, Nanhua New Energy became a subsidiary of Guangdong Wind Power after the business combination involving enterprises not under common control.
(ii)On 31 December 2020, Guangdong Wind Power, a subsidiary of the Group, entered into an equity transfer agreement with Guangye Investment Group, intending to acquire 51% equity of Datang Renewable Power held by Guangye Investment Group, at a consideration of RMB 161,858,100. As at 31 December 2020, Guangdong Wind Power had paid the equity acquisition of RMB 20,000,000, but the equity transaction had not been completed (Note 4(19)(b)). In January 2021, Guangdong Wind Power paid the left equity acquisition of RMB 141,858,100. In March 2021, as the registration for changes of business license of Datang Renewable Power had been completed and Guangdong Wind Power had obtained substantive control over Datang Renewable Power, Datang Renewable Power became a subsidiary of Guangdong Wind Power after the business combination involving enterprises not under common control.

12Financial risk
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (primarily including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
(1)Market risk
(a)Foreign exchange risk
The Group’s major operational activities are carried out in Mainland China and a majority of the transactions are denominated in RMB. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the recognised assets and liabilities, and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies, primarily with respect to US dollars. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters is responsible for monitoring the amount of assets and liabilities, and transactions denominated in foreign currencies to minimise the foreign exchange risk. Therefore, the Group may consider taking proper measures to mitigate the foreign exchange risk as appropriate. During 2020 and 2019, the Group did not enter into any forward exchange contracts or currency swap contracts.
As at 31 December 2020 and 2019, the carrying amounts in RMB equivalent of the Group’s assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are summarised below:
31 December 2020

As at 31 December 2020, if the RMB had strengthened/weakened by 10% against the USD while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s net profit would have been approximately RMB 4,411,597 (31 December 2019: approximately RMB 5,251,215) higher/lower for various financial assets and liabilities denominated in USD. As at 31 December 2020, as the Group’s financial assets and liabilities denominated in other foreign currencies were not significant, the changes in exchange rate of other foreign currencies had no significant influence on the Group.

(1)Market risk (Cont’d)
(b)Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk mainly arises from interest bearing borrowings including borrowings, debentures payable and long-term payables. Financial liabilities issued at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Financial liabilities issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group determines the relative proportions of its fixed rate and floating rate contracts depending on the prevailing market conditions. The Group’s interest bearing debts were mainly bank borrowings, debentures payable and long-term payables with fixed and floating interest rates, and the amounts of respective interest are as follows:
31 December 202031 December 2019

As at 31 December 2020, the Group’s fixed interest bearing borrowings amounted to RMB 4,898,543,652 and floating interest bearing borrowings amounted to RMB 29,468,205,138 (31 December 2019: fixed interest bearing borrowings RMB 2,376,931,768, floating rate bearing borrowings RMB 27,146,809,786).
The Group's finance department at its headquarters continuously monitors the interest rate position of the Group. Increases in interest rates will increase the cost of new borrowing and the interest expenses with respect to the Group’s outstanding floating rate borrowings, and therefore could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial performance. The Group determines the appropriate weightings of the fixed and floating rate interest-bearing instruments based on the current market conditions and performs regular reviews and monitoring to achieve an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate exposure. In 2020 and 2019, the Group did not hedge the interest rate risk with derivative financial instruments.
As at 31 December 2020, if interest rates on the floating rate borrowings had risen/fallen by 10 basis points while all other variables had been held constant, the Group’s interest expense would have increased/decreased by approximately RMB 29,468,205 (31 December 2019: approximately RMB 27,146,810).

12Financial risk (Cont’d)
(2)Credit risk
Credit risk of the Group mainly arises from cash at bank and on hand, accounts receivable, contract assets, other receivables, long-term receivables, etc. The carrying amount of the Group’s financial assets reflect its maximum credit exposure on the balance sheet date.
The Group expects that there is no significant credit risk associated with cash at bank and on hand since they are deposited at Energy Group Finance Company, state-owned banks and other medium or large size listed banks with good reputation and high credit rating. The Group does not expect that there will be significant losses from non-performance by the counterparty.
In addition, the Group has policies to limit the credit exposure on accounts receivable, contract assets, other receivables and long-term receivables. The Group assesses the credit quality of and sets credit limits on its customers by taking into account their financial position, the availability of guarantee from third parties, their credit history and other factors such as current market conditions. The credit history of the customers is regularly monitored by the Group. In respect of customers with a poor credit history, the Group will use written payment reminders, or shorten or cancel credit periods, to ensure the overall credit risk of the Group is limited to a controllable extent.
As at 31 December 2020, the Group had no significant collateral or other credit enhancements held as a result of the debtor's mortgage (31 December 2019: Nil).

(3)Liquidity risk
Cash flow forecasting is performed by each subsidiary of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department in its headquarters. Cash flow forecasting is performed by each subsidiary of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department in its headquarters. The Group’s finance department at its headquarters monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's short-term and long-term liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash and securities that are readily convertible to cash to meet operational needs, while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities from major financial institutions so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities to meet the short-term and long-term liquidity requirements.

13Fair value estimates
The level in which fair value measurement is categorised is determined by the level of the fair value hierarchy of the lowest level input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
(1)Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis
As at 31 December 2020, the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the above three levels are analysed below:
Level 1Level 2Level 3Total
Investments in other equity instruments -
Other equity investments393,587,145-3,154,500,8703,548,088,015

Level 1Level 2Level 3Total
Investments in other equity instruments -
Other equity investments408,070,373-2,734,301,0003,142,371,373
The Group takes the date on which events causing the transfers between the levels take place as the timing specific for recognising the transfers. There is no transfer among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 for the current year.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is determined at the quoted market price; and the fair value of those not traded in an active market is determined by the Group using valuation technique. The Group adopts such valuation models as comparable company model in the market to evaluate the fair value of the other equity instrument of Level 3 financial assets. The Group adopts average price to book value ratio (PB), average price to earnings ratio (PE) and discounts for lack of marketability (DLOM) as major unobservable inputs for SCG, average p/e ratio, PB and DLOM.
The changes in Level 3 financial assets are analysed below:

(2)Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value but disclosed
Financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost mainly include accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term receivables, short-term borrowings, payables, long-term borrowings, debentures payable and long-term payables.
The carrying amount of the financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value is a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

(c)Provision for bad debts
For accounts receivable, irrespective of whether a significant financing component exists, the Company measures the loss provision according to the lifetime expected credit losses. From 1 January 2020, the Company’s recognition standards and accrual methods for provision for bad debts of accounts receivable are detailed in Note 2(9).
(i)As at 31 December 2020, accounts receivable for which the related provision for bad debts was provided on the grouping basis were analysed as follows:
Grouping 1
As at 31 December 2020, the Company’s receivables from sales of electricity amounted to RMB 173,029,247, which mainly comprised receivables from Southern Power Grid Company. Considering the favourable credit history of Southern Power Grid Company, the Company held that there was no significant credit risk arising from receivables from sales of electricity. Since the possibility of material losses due to the default by Southern Power Grid Company was extremely low, the expected credit losses for the receivables from sales of electricity was 0%.
As at 31 December 2020, there was no accounts receivable categorised in Grouping 2 and 3.
