Stable generation capacity of the newly operated generating units 5 and 6 of Jining Power Plant; 3. The rapid growth of power consumption in the provinces of Fujian, Liaoning and Jiangsu where the Company's power plants operate provided favorable conditions for increasing the Company's power generation.
