CSEC has a sizeable, high efficiently performing and rapidly
growing power generation business. We operate and develop
power plants in regions with strong economic growth and attractive
power tariffs or in proximity to our coal mines or coal transportation
network, which enables us to capture the rapid increase in
demand for electricity and ensure easy access to coal supplies.
And we strive to develop high capacity, high standard, cost-effective
and environmental-safe coal-fired power plants. |
As at 31 December 2006, we controlled and operated
11 coal-fired power plants with total installed capacity and
equity installed capacity of 11,960 MW and 6,993 MW, respectively,
representing a year-on-year increase of 82.3% and 103.2%.
The equity installed capacity accounted for 58.5% of the total
installed capacity. In 2006, our gross power generation was
55.36 billion kwh, representing a year-on-year increase of
16.15 billion kwh or 41.2%; total power output dispatch amounted
to 51.71 billion kwh, representing a year-on-year increase
of 15.34 billion kwh or 42.2%; the average utilisation hours
amounted to 6,302 hours, representing a year-on-year decrease
of 231 hours, although we still maintained our leading position
in the industry in China. In 2006, coal consumption by the
Company’s power business amounted to 23.2 million tonnes;
of which 21.8 million tonnes of Shenhua Coal were consumed,
accounting for 94.0% of the total coal consumption. Standard
coal consumption rate of power dispatch was 326 g/kwh, the
efficiency of coal combustion remain a similar level as to
the previous year.
