Investment Highlights

Benefit from the development opportunities brought by environmental industry policies

With 2020 being the last year of the 13th Five Year Plan, new project opportunities will continue to be tendered by local governments in order to achieve the 54% municipal solid waste treatment by incineration target. Following the ¡§Notice on the Implementation Plan of Municipal Solid Waste Sorting System¡¨ released by the General Office of the State Council in March 2017, which targeted a municipal solid waste recycle rate of 35% in 46 selected cities by 2020, a new ¡§Circular of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and other Departments on Implementing the Classification System for Municipal Solid Waste in Cities at or above the Prefecture¡¨ was released in June 2019, which targeted to establish municipal solid waste sorting system in 46 selected key cities by 2020, and in all prefecture and above level cities by 2025. In response to the Central Government's plan to promote the implementation of waste sorting system, the ¡§Shanghai Household Waste Management Regulation¡¨ became effective in July 2019, and Shanghai became one of the first pilot cities to require its residents to strictly follow waste sorting practice. The company believes that the waste incineration power generation industry will continue to develop steadily and rapidly in the next few years, and it will capture the opportunity and benefit from such new growth potentials.

Waste incineration business processing capacity has been steadily improved

As of 30 June 2019, the operating, secured, announced and under management agreement daily MSW processing capacity of 23 projects was 34,490 tonnes, the operating daily MSW processing capacity of 12 projects (including the project under management) reached 15,890 tonnes. As of 22 August 2019, the operating, secured, announced and under management agreement daily MSW processing capacity of 25 projects is 36,590 tonnes. During the period under review, the company's implementation of innocuous treatment of waste volume amounted to 2,836,859 tonnes, representing an increase of 19.8% YoY. The company generated 1,124,759,000kWh from green energy, saving 348,650 tonnes of standard coal and reducing emission of carbon dioxide by 1,907,847 tonnes. During the Period, the company further expanded its presence to other provinces. 1) The company were awarded Mancheng WTE PPP project in Hebei Province and the Ruili WTE PPP project in Yunnan Province, with the daily MSW processing capacity both being 1,000 tonnes. 2) The company entered into an agreement for the acquisition of 49% equity interest of the Machong Town WTE project in Guangdong Province with a total daily MSW processing capacity of 2,250 tonnes. 3) The company were awarded the Shaoguan WTE public-private-partnership project in Guangdong Province in July 2019 and the Qiandongnan Prefecture South Area WTE project in Guizhou Province in August 2019, with the daily MSW processing capacity both being 1,050 tonnes.

Closer cooperation with SIHL

In March 2019, the company entered into an agreement with Shanghai Fudan Water Engineering Technology Co., Ltd (a non-wholly-owned subsidiary of SIIC Environment Holdings Ltd, which is an associate of SIHL), Shanghai Nanyi Environmental Technology Company Limited and Shandong Sanding Company Limited, both of which are Independent Third Parties, for the establishment of a project company, which will be principally engaged in the investment, construction and operation of a WTE project with total daily MSW processing capacity of 1,200 tonnes located in the Circular Economy Industrial Park in Shen County, Shandong Province. The establishment of a project company with SIHL represents an important new business development model for the company, and the company will capture more new project opportunities via the same cooperation model in the future.

New developed environmental hygiene services

To perfect its business model, the company further extended its business portfolio to the treatment of fly ash, bottom ash and environmental hygiene business. The company indirectly holds 35% equity interest in Dongguan Xindongyue, which currently owns the first landfill project for fly ash in Dongguan City.
