During the period after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy was greatly affected, and the major impact on the production and operation of the Company was characterized in three main points. Firstly, it affected the Company's supply chain in short term. The decline of suppliers' production capacity and poor logistics channels have an adverse impact on the Company's production material supplies. Secondly, it affected the Company's production organization in short term. It disrupted the production rhythm and scheduling plan, and increased the pressure on enterprises to ensure delivery. Thirdly, it affected the Company's overseas projects over a longer period of time. It caused inconvenience to the movement of people at domestic and abroad and affected overseas projects to be carried out normally. Moreover, the Company actively responded to the challenge of the pandemic, established a leading group for pandemic prevention and control immediately, optimized the prevention and control strategy according to the time and situation, systematically analyzed and studied the impact of the pandemic and adopted targeted action plans. It strived to implement the normalization of the pandemic prevention and control and production and operation works, There were no confirmed cases, suspected cases and asymptomatic carriers at domestic and abroad since the resumption of work. In 2020, the production and operation of the Company achieved growth against the trend, and the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a significant impact on the production, operation and the working capital of the Company year round.

According to the forecast of the China Electricity Council, the growth rate of the national total electricity consumption in 2021 is expected to decline gradually from a high level at the beginning, with an annual growth rate of 6% to 7%, which will be significantly higher than the level in 2020. In 2021, the country's estimated additional installed power generation capacity of infrastructure is about 180 million KW, of which about 140 million KW of non-fossil energy power generation capacity will be put into operation. As at the end of 2021, the country's estimated installed power generation capacity is 2,370 million KW, representing a year-on-year increase of 7.7%, and estimated installed non-fossil energy power generation capacity will reach to about 1,120 million KW, the proportion of total installed capacity will rise to 47.3%, representing an increase of about 2.5 percentage points as compared to the end of 2020. The proportion of installed wind and solar power generation capacity will increase by about 3 percentage points as compared to the end of 2020, the demand for flexible adjustment capabilities of the power system has further increased.

The continuous energy structure adjustment will bring new opportunities and challenges to the industry. In terms of new opportunities, the requirements of peaking carbon emissions and achieving carbon neutral promotes the clean and efficient use of coal, striving for the development of new energy, and actively and orderly develop nuclear power under the premise of ensuring safety; under the background of enhancing the independent and controllable capability of the industrial chain and supply chain, there is huge market for technology development to solve the "bottleneck" problems in the field of new energy; the rapid development of wind power and photovoltaic brings opportunities for new installations of supporting energy storage systems and the storage service market; the new business model of intelligent energy services centered with customer needs will provide a way out for enterprises to transform from production- oriented to service-oriented. In terms of new challenges, the adjustment of the development path of coal-fired power has placed new demands on core technology capabilities; the intensification of competition in the renewable energy power generation market has placed new demands on business model innovation and cost control; and the increasing demand for digital capabilities in various segments of the energy system has placed new demands on enterprises to accelerate their digital transformation.
