    OVERVIEW

    We are a leading pure-play renewable energy company in the PRC with a primary focus on wind powergeneration. According to Garrad Hassan, we ranked third in China and eighth in the world in terms of total windinstalled capacity as of December 31, 2010. Among the top ten global wind power generation companies, we hadthe highest CAGR of total installed capacity from 2008 to 2010, based on the year-end capacity data publishedby these companies. Since our inception in 2002, we have been a pioneer and innovator in the fast-growing PRCwind power sector. From 2008 to 2010, our consolidated installed capacity and revenue from sale of electricitygrew rapidly, at a CAGR of 195.9% and 166.2%, respectively, while our adjusted operating profit increased fromRMB122.7 million in 2008 to RMB884.5 million in 2010, representing a CAGR of 168.5%. We believe that ourexecution track record and sizeable pipeline will support our profitable growth in the near future.

    As of December 31, 2010, we had a consolidated installed capacity of 3,522.4 MW. We also had1,202.0 MW capacity under construction and approximately 73,463.5 MW of wind power pipeline projectsreserved for future development. Our installed, under-construction and pipeline wind power projects areprincipally located in six geographically diversified areas and cover 19 provinces and autonomous regions inChina. These areas are strategically selected to achieve optimal return based on a combination of keyconsiderations for wind farm development, including quality wind resources, high on-grid tariffs and theconditions of local grid connections and transmission.

    In recent years, wind power industry in China has grown rapidly. During the past few years, the Chinesegovernment has promulgated a number of preferential policies to support and encourage the development ofrenewable energy industries, such as a transparent fixed on-grid tariff regime, mandatory grid connection,mandatory power off-take and preferential tax treatments. In 2010, the country’s total wind installed capacitygrew by 18,928 MW, or 73.4%, from that as of the end of 2009 and reached 44,733 MW as of the end of 2010,making China the largest market in terms of total wind installed capacity. Garrad Hassan expects that China willcontinue to be a global growth leader with an estimated total wind installed capacity CAGR of 21.8% from 2010to 2015.

    During the Track Record Period, our consolidated installed capacity increased from 402.3 MW as ofDecember 31, 2008 to 3,522.4 MW as of December 31, 2010, representing a CAGR of 195.9%. We generatedrevenue from the sale of electricity of RMB248.1 million, RMB847.1 million and RMB1,758.6 million andrealized profits of RMB95.9 million, RMB281.2 million and RMB609.4 million from our continuing operationsfor the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, representing a CAGR of 166.2% and152.1%. As of December 31, 2010, we also had a portfolio of wind power pipeline projects with an estimatedcapacity of approximately 73,463.5 MW, including 633.0 MW Advanced-stage Projects, approximately3,346.7 MW Developing-stage Projects and approximately 69,483.8 MW Early-stage Projects. See “Business —Pipeline Projects.” We target to increase our consolidated installed capacity to approximately 5,100 MW by theend of 2011.

  • SUMMARY

    We are a subsidiary of Huaneng Group, the largest power generation company in China in terms of totalinstalled capacity as of December 31, 2010. We are Huaneng Group’s sole renewable energy platform for theultimate consolidation of its renewable energy businesses such as wind power.

    We firmly believe in the evolution of renewable energies from alternative to mainstream and ultimately tothe primary energy sources of our society. Our mission is to promote economic, social and environmentalsustainability through the proactive, conscientious and rational development of wind power and other renewableenergies. Our goal is to become a leading renewable energy company in the world with sustainable shareholderreturn.

    Sales of Electricity

    We sell all of the electricity generated by our wind power projects to local grid companies where the windfarms are respectively located, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the PPAs we enter into with the local gridcompanies. Other than the grid companies in West Inner Mongolia which are owned by the government of InnerMongolia, all of the grid companies which are our customers are ultimately owned by either State GridCorporation of China (“State Grid”) or China Southern Power Grid Co., Ltd. (“Southern Grid”). Currently we donot sell electricity to any corporate or individual end-users.

    Transmission limitations in the PRC wind power industry

    As required by the Renewable Energy Law, the PPA typically provides that the local grid company shallpurchase all the electricity generated by our wind power projects at on-grid tariffs fixed or approved by the PRCgovernmental authorities as long as our wind power projects have met all the national and industry technicalspecifications. The actual sale of electricity, however, may be limited by a number of factors, including, amongothers, the maximum transmission capacity and the stability of the local grids and the local demand forelectricity. In recent years, the local grid companies in Inner Mongolia and Liaoning Province imposedrestrictions on wind power generation companies, especially during winter season, to give priority to steam-electricity cogeneration companies which provide heat supply and to ensure the stability and safety of the localgrids. Furthermore, local grid companies in West Inner Mongolia imposed additional restrictions on wind powergeneration companies due to the fact that the rapid construction of wind farms resulting from quality windresources in West Inner Mongolia outpaced the development of local grids during recent years. As a result, a fewof our wind farms in Inner Mongolia and Liaoning Province temporarily shut down one or more wind turbines in2009 and 2010. As of December 31, 2010, we had 1,567.7 MW of installed capacity in Inner Mongolia and799.5 MW of installed capacity in Liaoning Province, which accounted for approximately 44.5% and 22.7% ofour consolidated installed capacity, respectively. Since we currently are not able to store the electricity generatedby our wind power projects, our net power generation and revenue may be adversely affected in the event thatelectricity cannot be transmitted or dispatched due to grid congestion or other constraints. In addition, the PPAswith the local grid companies do not specifically provide any compensation for any financial loss caused by gridcongestion or grid company’s otherwise failure in purchasing full amount of electricity generated by our windfarms, which we believe is consistent with the industry practice in China. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating toOur Business and Industry — We rely on local grid companies for grid connection and electricity transmissionand dispatch.” for more details. Furthermore, we are usually required under the PPAs to generate power inaccordance with the dispatch orders of the local grid companies, and may be disconnected from the grids shouldwe failed to comply with the dispatch orders. Generally the PPAs have a term of one year and will renewautomatically unless terminated by either party by giving a 30-day written notice. See “Business — Sales andDistribution — Customers and PPA” for more details.

    On-grid tariff which is subject to the PRC government control

    According to the Circular regarding the Furtherance of On-grid Pricing Policy of Wind Power( ) (the “On-grid Tariff Circular”) issued by the NDRC in July 2009, foronshore wind power projects approved on or after August 1, 2009, the on-grid tariff is determined based on thelocation of such wind power projects. The PRC government has categorized the onshore wind resources of Chinainto four wind resource zones and applies a universal on-grid tariff to all the wind power projects in the samewind resource zone. The standard on-grid tariffs (including VAT) for the first, second, third and fourth windresource zones are RMB0.51/kWh, RMB0.54/kWh, RMB0.58/kWh and RMB0.61/kWh, respectively. For windpower projects approved prior to August 1, 2009 but on or after January 1, 2006, the on-grid tariff is determinedby referring to either a “government guided price” or a “government fixed price.” For wind power projectsapproved on or prior to December 31, 2005, the on-grid tariff is determined by the government on a project-by-project basis. See “Business — Sales and Distribution — On-grid Tariffs” for details.

    Notes:

    (1) Consolidated net power generation represents the electricity sold to the local grid companies minus the electricity generated and soldduring the construction and testing period. It is calculated by deducting from the consolidated gross power generation (i) auxiliaryelectricity and (ii) the electricity generated during the construction and testing period. Sales of electricity generated during theconstruction and testing period are not included in the revenue of electricity sales, but are offset against the cost of property, plant andequipment.

    (2) Weighted average on-grid tariff (excluding VAT) is calculated by dividing our revenue from sale of electricity by our consolidated netpower generation of wind power projects.

    (3) Our weighted average on-grid tariffs (including VAT) in 2008 and 2009 were higher than the current highest standard on-grid tariff,primarily due to the fact that certain of our early wind power projects enjoyed relatively high on-grid tariffs prior to the establishmentof the standard on-grid tariff regime on August 1, 2009, and that the standard on-grid tariffs only apply to wind power projectsapproved on or after August 1, 2009.

    (4) Weighted average unit cost is calculated by dividing the operating expenses (excluding service concession construction costs) byconsolidated net power generation.

    (5) Weighted average utilization hours are calculated by dividing the consolidated gross power generation (excluding power generatedduring construction and testing period) in a specific period by the weighted average consolidated operational capacity in the sameperiod.

  • SUMMARY

    The difference between our gross and net power generation was caused by (i) electricity generated duringthe construction and testing period; and (ii) auxiliary electricity which comprises electricity consumed by ourwind farms in the course of electricity generation and lost during the transmission from the wind farms to thegrid meter measuring the net power generation sold to the grid companies. During the Track Record Period,electricity generated during construction and testing period accounted for approximately 8.1%, 13.0% and 7.8%,respectively, of our gross power generation. During the same periods, auxiliary electricity accounted forapproximately 2.5%, 2.0% and 2.5%, respectively, of our gross power generation less electricity generatedduring the construction and testing period. The relatively high amount of electricity generated during theconstruction and testing period as a percentage of our gross power generation during the Track Record Periodwas primarily due to our rapid expansion in recent years. During the Track Record Period, our consolidatedinstalled capacity increased at a CAGR of 195.9% from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2010. As a result,we had a large number of new wind power projects in construction and testing period during the Track RecordPeriod, the electricity generated from which was accounted for in the gross power generation but excluded fromthe net power generation.

    The table below sets forth our sales of electricity from continuing operations by region during the TrackRecord Period.

    To achieve our expansion targets, we estimate that the total capital expenditure will be RMB16.0 billion forwind power projects to be installed in 2011 and for the two solar power concession projects. Of this sum, wehave already incurred RMB1.7 billion as of February 28, 2011 and therefore the total outstanding capitalexpenditure is estimated to be RMB14.3 billion. The sources of funding include bank borrowings, a portion ofthe net proceeds from the Global Offering, contributions from minority shareholders of our non-wholly ownedsubsidiaries, cash at bank and on hand and operating cash flow. We expect that bank borrowings will account forapproximately 80% of the above-mentioned total estimated capital expenditure.

    We plan to expand our wind power business by converting our pipeline projects into operating projects. Wemay also acquire wind farms in various development stages, complete their development and put them intooperation. Our expansion plan, however, is subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties. We operate in a highlyregulated and capital intensive industry. Development of wind power projects requires various governmentalapprovals and substantial capital. The successful implementation of our expansion plan may depend on, amongothers, our ability to obtain all the necessary governmental approvals and to secure sufficient funding. Inaddition, our business expansion may also be limited by the transmission and dispatch capacity of local gridcompanies. See “Risk Factors” for more details.

    Sales of CERs

    As a pioneer of the PRC wind power sector, we have successfully registered three out of China’s first 10registered wind power CDM projects. As of December 31, 2010, we had applied for registration of 65 CDMprojects, of which 46 had obtained NDRC approvals and 23 had been registered with the CDM EB. Among the23 registered CDM projects, Phase II of our Fuxin Project was the second largest wind power CDM project inChina in terms of installed capacity as of December 31, 2010, based on the data available on the website ofUNFCCC. Leveraging on our experience accumulated from previous registrations, we made substantial progressin 2011. From the beginning of 2011 to the Latest Practicable Date, we successfully registered 11 CDM projectswith the CDM EB and obtained NDRC approvals for another nine CDM projects, increasing our aggregatenumber of registered CDM projects and projects with NDRC approvals to 34 and 55, respectively.

    The first CERs of our registered CDM projects were issued by the CDM EB in 2008. As of the LatestPracticable Date, we had secured buyers for 151 CDM projects by entering into CER sales agreements withindependent international buyers, including four power companies, a financial institution and two professionalCDM management companies. In 2009 and 2010, we generated net income of RMB28.7 million and RMB164.8million from the sales of CERs, representing 9.5% and 25.7% of our profit before taxation. The CDM EB hasdeclined to register some PRC wind power projects for CER credits in the past. Although none of our CDMapplications had been rejected or delayed by the CDM EB as of the Latest Practicable Date, we cannot assureyou that our applications will not be rejected or delayed in the future. See “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to OurBusiness and Industry — Our sale of CERs depends on the continuing effectiveness of CDM arrangements underthe Kyoto Protocol.”

  • SUMMARY

    Discontinued Hydropower Business

    We used to operate hydropower business through a jointly controlled entity and a subsidiary. In 2009, wediscontinued our hydropower operations and disposed of our equity interests in these two entities as they do notform our core business which is wind power generation. See “History, Reorganization and CorporateStructure — History and Development” for details.

    OUR COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS

    We believe our rapid growth and strong market position are largely attributable to the following principalcompetitive strengths, which distinguish us from our competitors.

    • Strategically selected locations of our wind power projects with quality wind resources, high on-gridtariffs and taking into account the conditions of local grid connections and transmission

    • A track record of profitable growth demonstrating our managerial strength and execution ability

    • A pioneer and innovator in the fast-growing PRC wind power sector

    • Expertise and experience in wind farm development and power generation leading to enhancedefficiency and profitability

    • Experienced and professional management team dedicated to the development of renewable energies

    OUR STRATEGIES

    Our goal is to become a leading renewable energy company in the world with sustainable shareholderreturn. To achieve our goal, we intend to pursue the following strategies:

    • Expand in areas with attractive returns and continue to increase market share in the wind powersector

    • Develop other renewable energies with a focus on solar power

    • Pursue opportunities in the international markets

    • Continue our efforts to promote technological innovation and industry development

    • Continue to control costs and improve profitability

    RELATIONSHIP WITH CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER AND CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

  • SUMMARY

    Huaneng Group’s sole renewable energy platform for the ultimate consolidation of its renewable energybusinesses such as wind power. However, Huaneng Group will retain certain wind power business through itslisted and unlisted subsidiaries. See “Relationship with Controlling Shareholder” for details. Although currentlywe do not face intense competition from Huaneng Group due to the preferential government regulations andpolicies such as mandatory grid connection and mandatory power off-take, the potential competition mayintensify in the event that such regulations and policies are amended or abolished. See “Risk Factors — RisksRelating to Our Business and Industry — We face competition from other renewable energy companies, inparticular, other wind power developers. We may also face competition from non-renewable power developers.”

    Following the completion of the Global Offering, we will continue to have certain transactions withHuaneng Group and its associates that constitute connected transactions within the meaning of the Listing Rules.See “Connected Transactions” for details.

  • SUMMARY

    During the Track Record Period, we recorded revenue of RMB570.3 million, RMB918.4 million andRMB1,768.5 million, respectively, in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Our profit from continuing operations amounted toRMB95.9 million, RMB281.2 million and RMB609.4 million, respectively, during the same periods, accountingfor approximately 38.0%, 33.0% and 34.5% of our revenue (excluding service concession construction revenue)for the respective period.

    We recorded net current liabilities of RMB2,062.2 million, RMB3,182.2 million and RMB8,832.3 millionas of December 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The increases in net current liabilities during the TrackRecord Period were primarily attributable to the increases in other payables and short-term borrowings, which inturn were primarily attributable to the continuous expansion of our wind power operations and were in line withthe increases in our installed capacity as well as capacity under construction. Our consolidated installed capacityincreased from 402.3 MW as of December 31, 2008 to 3,522.4 MW as of December 31, 2010. As ofDecember 31, 2010, we also had 1,202.0 MW capacity under construction.

  • SUMMARY

    DIVIDEND POLICY

    We may declare and pay dividends by way of cash or shares in the future. Distribution of dividends shallbe formulated by our Board of Directors and subject to Shareholders’ approval. The amount of any dividends tobe declared or paid in the future will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash flows andfinancial condition, operating and capital requirements, the amount of distributable profits and other relevantfactors. In particular, under applicable PRC laws and our Articles of Association, we can only distributedividends out of our after-tax profit after the following allocations have been made: (i) recovery of accumulatedlosses, if any; (ii) mandatory allocations to the statutory common reserve fund equivalent to 10% of our after-taxprofit, unless the common reserve fund reaches 50% of our registered capital or above; and (iii) allocations todiscretionary common reserve fund, subject to our Shareholders’ approval at Shareholders meeting.

    In the future, we expect to distribute no less than 15% of our annual distributable earnings as dividends.We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to distribute dividends in any amount each year or in anyyear. In addition, the declaration and payment of dividends may be limited by legal restrictions or financialinstruments that we may enter into in the future. Under the current PRC tax laws and regulations, dividends paidby us to a non-PRC resident enterprise shareholder are subject to a 10% withholding tax.

    SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION

    We have agreed to declare a special distribution to Huaneng Group in an amount of RMB316.2 million,which is equal to our audited consolidated net profits attributable to equity owner/shareholders of the Companyfor the year ended December 31, 2010, prorated according to the number of days from January 1, 2010, the dateimmediately after the date on which our assets were valued for the establishment of our Company as a joint stocklimited company, to August 5, 2010, the date of our establishment (the “Special Distribution”). We expect to paysuch Special Distribution to Huaneng Group within six months commencing from the Listing Date with cashgenerated from operating activities. After taking into account our current cash balance and our anticipated cashflows from operating activities, we believe we will have sufficient working capital to pay the Special Distributionat that time.

    The Special Distribution was not determined in accordance with our dividend policy as described in“Financial Information — Dividend Policy.” Investors of H Shares will not participate in the SpecialDistribution. The Special Distribution is not an indication of our future dividend policy.

    USE OF PROCEEDS

    We estimate that we will receive net proceeds from the Global Offering of approximately HK$6,239.0million (after deducting the relevant expenses) if the Over-allotment Option is not exercised, assuming an OfferPrice of HK$2.63 per H Share, being the mid-point of the estimated Offer Price range. If the Over-allotmentOption is exercised in full, we estimate that we will receive additional net proceeds of approximately HK$951.1million (after deducting the relevant expenses), assuming an Offer Price of HK$2.63 per H Share. We intend toallocate the net proceeds from the Global Offering in the following manner (assuming that the Over-allotmentOption is not exercised):

    • approximately 57.8% (approximately HK$3,607.1 million) will be used for the expansion of ourwind power business, among which (i) approximately 38.6% (approximately HK$2,410.8 million)will mostly be used within the year of 2011 for the construction of wind power projects in the PRC,mainly for purchase of wind turbines and other ancillary equipment from the PRC domestic-brandsuppliers and engagement of third party contractors for the construction of wind farms; and(ii) approximately 19.2% (approximately HK$1,196.3 million) will mostly be used within the year of

  • SUMMARY

    2011 for purchase of equipment and key components manufactured by foreign wind powerequipment manufacturers;

    • approximately 19.2% (approximately HK$1,196.3 million) will be used to repay bank loans withinsix months from the Listing Date, including, among others, (i) a 15-year term loan in the totalamount of RMB236.3 million from China Development Bank Corporation at an annual interest rateof 5.35% which will be due for repayment on June 4, 2021; and (ii) a 16-year term loan in the totalamount of RMB765.7 million from China Development Bank Corporation at an annual interest rateof 6.48% which will be due for repayment on November 14, 2023. Both of these two loans wereused for the construction of our wind power projects; and

    • approximately 23.0% (approximately HK$1,435.6 million) will be used for the acquisition of windpower projects in the PRC and overseas which satisfy our standards as set forth in the “Relationshipwith Controlling Shareholder.”

    In the event that the Offer Price is set at the high end of the estimated Offer Price range, we intend to usethe additional HK$843.8 million for the construction of wind power projects in the PRC. In the event that theOffer Price is set at the low end of the estimated Offer Price range, we expect to reduce the net proceeds for thepurposes described above on a pro rata basis.

    If the Over-allotment Option is exercised in full, we intend to use the additional HK$951.1 million for theconstruction of wind power projects in the PRC.

    To the extent that the net proceeds from the Global Offering are not immediately required for the abovepurposes, the Board of Directors currently intend to place such proceeds on short-term deposits with licensedbanks or financial institutions in Hong Kong or the PRC. In the event of any material modification to the use ofproceeds as described above, we will issue an announcement and make disclosure in our annual report for therelevant year as required by the Stock Exchange.

    • We face competition from other renewable energy companies, in particular, other wind powerdevelopers. We may also face competition from non-renewable power developers.

    • We procure a majority of our wind turbines and related components from a limited number of thePRC suppliers who may not have as long operating history as foreign suppliers.

    • The slow-down of economic growth in China and the global economic downturn may adverselyaffect our business growth and profitability.

    • The growth of our business depends on our ability to identify suitable sites and develop new windpower projects in a timely manner. If we fail to do so, our business and prospects may be adverselyaffected.

    • The standards we use to categorize our projects and the underlying assumptions are internallydeveloped and may not be comparable to classifications used by other companies.

    • Performance of our wind power projects may be adversely affected by nearby objects.
