Key findings of the Government’s Public Consultation on the

Future Development of the Electricity Market include:

SoC has met energy policy objectives

World class supply reliability above 99.999%

Effective environmental performance

Reasonable tariff

More can be done to promote renewables and energy

conservation

Current SoC should form the basis of a new agreement

CLP is committed to the continuation of excellent performance

and meeting future policy objectives including a smarter and

greener electricity service and the use of more gas in power

generation to support the Government’s environmental targets

A reasonable return and certainty in the regulatory regime are

required to ensure long term and sustainable investment in the

electricity industry

CLP and the Government have commenced discussions on

the new terms of the future regulatory arrangements

In line with Government policy our fuel mix is

increasingly reliant on gas for power generation

In addition to existing gas supply we are seeking

to diversify our sources of gas by:

Entering into a new agreement with the

Wenchang field in the South China Sea starting

in 2018

Studying the feasibility of a Floating Storage

Our 2007 initiative “Climate Vision 2050” recognised the urgency of climate

change and set our internal target to cut the carbon intensity of our

generation portfolio by 75% by 2050

We welcome the Paris Agreement from COP21* which provides policy

support for low-carbon energy developments based on a collective

responsibility and country specific solutions

CLP remains committed to working

with customers and Governments

to facilitate an orderly transition to

a low carbon economy

In Hong Kong, we will transition to

gas as a primary source of fuel for

electricity generation by 2020

Outside of Hong Kong we target half of our new investments to be in

renewables and non-carbon technologies

Addressing Climate Change

26

* The 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) was held in Paris in December 2015. The Paris Agreement provides

a clear direction for low carbon energy development at the international level and much-needed certainty and predictability on the future direction of various countries’ low carbon

development plans through their committed Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs)

Continuing development of renewables

27

Renewables represent 17% or over 3,000 MW of our equity

generation portfolio*

Largest wind developer in India and largest external renewable

investor in China

In Australia, we underpinned development of 386 MW of new wind

capacity from late 2014 with long term offtake agreements

In 2015 CLP

Invested over HK$3 billion in renewables#

Commissioned 194 MW of wind and 90 MW solar

Had 558 MW of wind under construction at year end

* Equity interest, including projects under construction or committed at year end # Investment represents total project cost for generating capacity for wholly owned projects, and equity injection to joint venture projects

1) The reduction in total loan balance was mainly due to EnergyAustralia applying a portion of the Iona sale proceeds to

early repayment of a significant amount of external debt in December 2015

2) The increase in current portion was mainly due to the reclassification of HK$3 billion bridge loan in CLP Power for

CAPCO/PSDC acquisitions from non-current portion to current portion. Note the balance was reduced from HK$5 billion

to HK$3 billion as CLP Power had made early repayment of HK$2 billion

3) Loan balance between two and five years as at 31 December 2015 included loan drawdown with current tenor less than

one year under revolving facility with maturity falling beyond one year

(1) Capital investments include fixed assets, leasehold land and land use rights,

investment property, intangible assets and investments in and advances to joint

ventures

(2) Capital expenditure on fixed assets, leasehold land and land use rights and

investment property are further analysed into

• SoC capex - capital expenditure related to the SoC business

• Growth capex - capital expenditure for additional generation capacity

• Maintenance capex - capital expenditure other than the above

(3) Capital investments on intangibles assets and investments in and advances to joint

ventures

(4) Net of bank balance, cash and other liquid funds

Cash flow

Free cash flow decreased by HK$1.7 billion primarily due

to reduced inflows from SoC, in particular the payment of a

Special Fuel Rebate of HK$1.3 billion in 2015 and other

associated factors, offset by higher dividend from FCG I

Cash flow from divestments provided an additional HK$10

billion

Capital Investments

HK$7.3 billion SoC capex on cash basis related to

enhancing transmission and distribution networks,

generation and customer services in Hong Kong

Growth capex mainly related to our renewable projects in

India and Mainland China

Hong Kong – Emission reduction and tariff

management

Emissions Caps

Average tariff by components Ongoing challenge in tariff management

Cost control enables Basic Tariff to remain below 1998 level

Gas consumption in 2015 is almost double that of 2014 in

order to meet emissions targets in 2015 which are 35% to

65% lower than the previous caps

Due to much weaker international commodity prices, the

prices for natural gas and coal we consumed were below

forecast. A special fuel rebate in August 2015 to customers

equivalent to 8 cents per unit based on consumption in the

first half of 2015

The Average Total Tariff for 2016 decreases by 0.9% from the

2015 level

CLP is focussed on continuous cost containment measures

to minimise future tariff increases

China remains a primary growth market for CLP

Government support for renewable development within the Five Year Plan, Power Sector Reform and

from COP21 provides strong impetus to investors such as CLP to make selective investments in

renewables

CLP’s focus on the development of renewables and high-efficiency coal projects means we are well-

positioned to capitalise these opportunities

CLP is continuing to develop the following projects

Sihong Solar (48MW) and Xicun II Solar (42MW) commissioned in 2015

Construction of FCG II (1,320MW, CLP share 924MW) ultra super-critical plant, target to commission in 2H2016

Xundian I (49.5MW) and Sandu I (99MW) wind farm in Yunnan and Guizhou commission in 1Q2016

3 wholly-owned wind farms under construction or committed - CLP Laizhou (49.5 MW) and Laiwu II (49.5 MW) in Shandong

commenced construction in 2015, with Sandu II (99MW) in Guizhou to commence construction in 1H2016

China’s INDCs by 2030 China will lower its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 60-65% from 2005 level

China will achieve share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 20%

Objectives of 2015 Power Sector Reform

Accelerate development of market mechanism to promote competition in

Generation and Retail sectors and to increase efficiency

Regulate the T&D sector and reform the tariff by using cost plus asset-

based return calculation

Open up opportunities in Transmission, Distribution & Retail for private

capital investment

Support development of ancillary service, RE, distributed generation, and

micro grids

Some implementation guidelines have been provided following the

issuance of Power Sector Reform including:

Mainland China – Power Sector Reform

51 CLP is well positioned to pursue opportunities

2002 Doc #5; separated grids from generation

2011 separated auxiliary business from T&D

2015 asset based T&D tariff pilot scheme launched in Shenzhen;

Direct Sales in good progress

India is a developing economy with a need for new generation capacity to address a

continuing shortage of power

This provides us with a range of investment opportunities and India is a primary

growth market for CLP

We are one of the largest foreign investors in the power sector, and the largest

developer of wind power in India
