According to the preliminary statistics of the Company, for the first quarter of 2021, the Company's total electricity sold by power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 105.009 billion kWh, representing an increase of 30.20% over the same period last year.

For the first quarter of 2021, the ratio of Company's market-based electricity sold reached 57.32%, representing an increase of 24.05 percentage points over the same period last year.
