Good performance from Hong Kong and China but reduced earnings from Australia and India
Hong Kong: Higher earnings reflecting ongoing investment in electricity infrastructure
Australia: Significantly lower earnings in challenging market conditions
China: Growth in earnings primarily due to lower coal price
India: Operating earnings affected by coal supply situation in Jhajjar
3
Hong Kong
SoC earnings growth of 5.5% to HK$3,417m − Higher earnings due to increased average net fixed assets
Capex of HK$3,017m, in line with Development Plan − CLP Power: HK$2,272m − CAPCO: HK$745m (CLP’s share: HK$298m)
Local sales decreased by 1.5% to 14,806 GWh primarily due to weather − Sales to China decreased by 38.1% to 620 GWh constrained by lower
contractual demand − Overall electricity sales decreased by 3.8%
Construction of the Hong Kong Branch Line is complete and gas from the Second West-East Pipeline commenced flowing
4
Hong Kong – Going Forward
2014-2018 Development Plan submitted to HKSAR Government Ongoing investment to support new infrastructure and
development Continue to develop new natural gas sources contemplated in
2008 inter-government MOU − Additional pipeline gas from South China Sea and new LNG terminal in
Shenzhen to be developed to meet future needs
Constructive engagement with HKSAR Government on SoC Interim Review
Continuing interconnection of Hong Kong and South China energy infrastructure

Conditions in Australia remain challenging − Declining energy demand − Suppressed wholesale prices − Intense retail competition and churn − Regulatory uncertainty
Internally EnergyAustralia (EA) has also experienced operational challenges and financial pressures including − Issues with new C1 billing system resulting in higher
operating costs − Yallourn industrial action − Falling forward prices resulting in unfavorable fair
value movements − Higher D&A from customer acquisition costs and the
new C1 billing system − Higher net interest expense due to the close-out of
interest rate swaps (HK$138m) after completion of the Waterloo transaction
In May, EA completed majority selldown of Waterloo wind farm realising proceeds of A$228m
In July, EA agreed to purchase Mt Piper and Wallerawang power stations which underpinned the 2011 GenTrader agreements from the NSW Government for a net cash consideration of A$160m

Customer accounts increased despite high churn environment − Customer accounts (Mass Market (MM) & Commercial & Industrial (C&I)): 2.848 million up 56k over 6 months
Retail segment sales volumes 11% lower for electricity and 4% higher for gas − MM electricity volumes down 5% reflecting lower per customer usage compared to prior year − C&I electricity sales down 14% mainly due to weakening economic conditions and intense competition − Gas volumes up 4% with higher C&I volumes partially offset by lower MM sales
Higher operating expenses predominantly relating to the new C1 billing system, including − Higher bad debt provisioning (A$11m) − Higher employee and contractor costs (call centre, billing stabilisation) (A$27m) − Higher administrative, marketing and other costs (A$11m)
Higher Depreciation & Amortisation due to amortisation of capitalised customer acquisition costs and initial depreciation of the new C1 billing system

Results materially impacted by depressed wholesale price offset by carbon tax assistance − Lower wholesale electricity contract prices, lower sales volumes, higher costs associated with green instruments and
higher fuel costs placed pressure on margins − Carbon tax transitional assistance to partially compensate for the diminution of value at Yallourn and the carbon tax
impact on earnings provided a net benefit in 1H2013 largely offsetting the margin decline
− Contribution from gas sales increased due to higher margins on contracts and gas storage revenues
Generation volumes decreased by 6% − Yallourn output constrained due to ongoing industrial action − Remediation of Morwell River Diversion continued − Wallerawang constrained due to the collapse of a cooling tower − Partially offset by higher output from Mt Piper and other assets

The outlook for the Australian energy sector is challenging Retail competition remains intense with high levels of churn Continuing cost pressures in 2013 from implementation issues with C1 and in 2014 from
the EnergyAustralia Integration Program Continuing soft demand combined with the RET requirement for new build renewable
generation has constrained wholesale prices. This may result in the closure or impairment of costly or inflexible power plants across the industry
In this environment removing the relatively costly and restrictive Gentrader arrangements and gaining full and flexible operational control of the Mt Piper and Wallerawang power stations will support the future profitability of these assets
The key projects for the 2H2013 to meet these challenges include − Stabilising the new customer management and billing system, and delivery of initiatives to
improve customer service levels and cost effectiveness − Finalising implementation of retail and corporate efficiency programmes, including up to 100
positions being made redundant across 2013 − Preparation for integration of the NSW customer base and removal of the TSA − Optimising and ensuring cost effectiveness across our generation operations − Integration of Mt Piper and Wallerawang Power Stations into EnergyAustralia operating portfolio

EnergyAustralia
Chinese Mainland – Financials Higher earnings from coal-fired projects
primarily due to lower coal price − Average decrease in coal price of about 14% − Partly offset by lower dispatch
Higher earnings from renewables projects − Wind: Lower earnings due to no accrual of
provincial subsidy for projects in Shandong (pending policy announcement), partially offset by higher generation due to better wind resources
− Jiangbian Hydro: Higher earnings due to the increase in water flow during the second quarter of 2013
− Other Hydro: Higher earnings from Huaiji Hydro due to higher tariff from tariff adjustment in July 2012 and higher generation in 1H2013
Reversal of HK$25m unrealised translation loss upon remittance of a USD-deposit back to Hong Kong

Chinese Mainland – Coal-fired projects
Higher earnings from coal-fired projects due to lower fuel costs partially offset by lower dispatch
Lower earnings from Fangchenggang mainly due to lower dispatch resulting from soft demand and outages in 1H2013, partially offset by ~19% reduction in coal price
Earnings from Guohua affected by lower dispatch, partially offset by ~9% reduction in coal price
Higher earnings from Shandong due to ~15% decrease in coal price

Daya Bay has maintained high safety record and has continued to implement additional safety measures in accordance to the regulatory schedule and as required in the National Comprehensive Nuclear Safety Review
Acquisition for the 17% shareholding of Yangjiang project to supply Guangdong awaiting regulatory approval from the PRC authorities
Continue to work with China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGNPC) to explore feasibility of additional nuclear import to Hong Kong, subject to Hong Kong Government’s decision on future fuel mix for electricity generation
NDRC’s establishment of benchmark tariff setting mechanism will promote the development of the nuclear industry
12
Chinese Mainland – Going Forward
Development of the 1,320MW ultra-supercritical units of Phase II of Fangchenggang using imported coal − In-principle approval from NDRC obtained in July 2012 and final
approval expected in 2H2013
Complete acquisition for 17% stake investment in Yangjiang nuclear project to supply Guangdong
Explore feasibility of additional nuclear import for Hong Kong, subject to Hong Kong Government’s decision on fuel mix
Continue to develop and build our renewable energy portfolio with focus on majority-owned wind and solar projects − 51% owned Jinchang solar project (100MW) commenced operation in July
2013
13
India – Financials
Paguthan continued to be constrained by lower dispatch due to high gas prices − Lower operating earnings mainly due to lower
recovery of income tax under PPA and higher dividend distribution tax provision due to higher tax rate effective 1 April 2013
Jhajjar operating loss resulted from low capacity charge revenue and disputed penalty provision under PPA due to low availability from coal shortage − Jhajjar net fair value movement and exchange
differences mainly included HK$120m translation loss on USD-loans as a result of devaluation of Indian Rupees and HK$35m translation loss on Euro and USD retention payables
Higher earnings from renewables primarily due to − Increase in operating projects (1H2013: 594MW vs.
1H2012: 482MW) − The HK$49m deferred tax related to reversal of
previously recognised net deferred tax liabilities

Jhajjar − Operations continued to be impacted by coal shortages with plant availability
constrained at less than 40% in 1H2013 − Approval obtained from Haryana Chief Minister to procure 1.7 million tonnes
(equivalent to 35-40% of heat value required for full availability) of imported coal for the period from June 2013 to May 2014
− With the blending of imported coal, the plant operated at an availability of ~50% in June and ~85% in July
− Expect both units to generate consistently with a target availability at 75-80% for 2H2013
− Expect further improvement in the commercial performance over the next 6-18 months
Wind: Portfolio growth − Growth: Operational 594 MW (1H2012: 482 MW) and 457 MW under construction
Paguthan: Availability of adequate and reasonably priced gas supplies remains a major concern
Continue steady growth of wind projects in reforming states, with adequate grid infrastructure and creditworthy offtakers 15
India
Southeast Asia & Taiwan

Australia – Industry Conditions
• Electricity tariffs have increased significantly in Australia in recent years
• For example, while the most recent regulated tariff determination in NSW was a modest 3.1% from July 1 2013, NSW Electricity Tariffs have more than doubled since 2007/08 as indicated in the accompanying chart
• This has been driven by increases in Network costs (up by around 130%), while green and carbon costs together are over 7 times higher than green costs were in 2007/08
• Demand has declined in response to a number of factors including these price rises and weakening economic conditions in Australia
• Other factors in declining usage and demand include
− Energy efficiency
− Solar PV and solar hot water penetration
− Decentralised generation
− Lower commercial & industrial load due to economic conditions
− Weather impacts
• These trends are now well established and are leading to significant reductions in forward energy projections
• This reduced demand, combined with continued build of generation to meet renewable energy targets, has seen reduction in forward wholesale energy prices (excluding the carbon impost) – putting pressure on generation earnings

Wholesale • Gas gross margin increased on higher margins from contracts and gas storage operations (+HK$104m) • Receipt of HK$1,005m transitional assistance relating to the diminution of value at Yallourn, partially compensating
for the HK$2,761m impairment (pre-tax) for Yallourn in 2011 and reduced earnings potential of the asset. The benefit was offset by a net unrecoverable cost of carbon of approximately HK$360m during the half
• Electricity gross margin was impacted by lower contract prices and lower sales volumes (-HK$468m) • Higher renewable compliance costs, fuel and other (-HK$256m)
Retail Gross Margin Retail gross margin decreased by 8% (-HK$303m) due to • Lower electricity sales due to lower MM per customer usage and weakening economic conditions and intense
competition • Gas volumes up 4% with higher C&I volume partially offset by lower MM sales
Retail Opex Retail opex increased primarily as a result of continuing issues with the new C1 billing system, including • higher debt provisioning associated with overdue accounts (-HK$85m) • higher employee and contractor costs (-HK$212m); and • higher adminstrative, marketing and other costs (-HK$88m)

Australia – Forward Cap Prices
A-15
A negative mark-to-market movement of HK$115 million (HK$81 million after tax) was recorded in 1H2013
Mark-to-market movement represents the movement in the fair value of energy derivative products which, although used in managing energy portfolio risk, did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and consequently have resulted in an adjustment to the P&L
The Mark-to-Market movement included in the P&L includes movements in the market price of caps, swaps and acquired contracts
The accompanying charts illustrate the general decline in the forward price for both swap and cap contracts in our key markets of Victoria and NSW
Yallourn Industrial Relations There are approximately 500 jobs at Yallourn, including 120 power station operations and maintenance employees under
an Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA)
The existing EBA expired in mid 2012 and discussions commenced regarding the formulation of a new EBA
In March 2013, the CFMEU commenced industrial action which escalated to 3 days of strike action in April. Despite periods of negotiation and conciliation, the CFMEU escalated their industrial action to take control of the generation on 21 June 2013
EnergyAustralia then took the action of locking out the 75 power station shift operators and it is operating the generators with appropriately trained and qualified employees. Yallourn is, however, restricted to running only 2 of the 4 units at present
The power station shift operators remain locked out of the plant while the Conciliation process continues in an attempt to reach an agreement
In the meantime the business will continue to keep units running at the Station in an effort to minimise the impact of the business and maintain in employment the remaining 425 jobs, as well as local suppliers
Yallourn Mine Remediation On 6 June 2012, water from the Morwell River Diversion entered the Yallourn mine, following a structural failure of the
Morwell River Diversion
Remediation work includes the structural repair of the levee and reinforcement of the lining in the river diversion
Weather conditions through 2013 have delayed completion of the project and in mid June additional water was diverted into the mine following a significant rain event
Pumping of the original flood water out of the mines was completed in early February 2013, in line with EPA special water discharge limit license expiration. Pumping of the additional water from the June 2013 event is expected to complete in October 2013
An additional amount of A$8m has been raised to cover the cost of this latest incident, taking the total cost of remediation (including pumping) to A$163m

Australia – Impact of Carbon Australian Carbon Pricing Scheme On 1 July 2012, the Australian Government’s carbon pricing legislation came into effect. The package includes a default
target of 5% abatement on Year 2000 CO2 equivalent emissions by Year 2020 across the Australian economy, a fixed carbon price for the first three years beginning on 1 July 2012 and starting at A$23 per tonne for liable entities. The fixed carbon price will rise at a real 2.5% each year, and consequently increased to A$24.15 from 1 July 2013
To facilitate the transition to lower carbon emissions the Government established an Energy Security Fund. Under the Fund, a total of A$5.5 billion in the form of cash and free permits has been allocated to emission intensive coal-fired generation plant to be distributed as follows: − A one-off payment of A$1 billion to be divided between recipient generators in proportion to their historical emission
intensity and output and deliverable by 30 June 2012
− Four annual allocations of 41.705 million free carbon permits to be divided between recipient generators in proportion to their historical emission intensity and output, deliverable on the 1st of September 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016
Following the three year fixed price period the scheme changes to an emissions trading scheme or ETS. Originally this was restricted to Australia with a floor price of A$15 per tonne. However the scheme was changed in August 2012 to remove the floor price and instead link the Australian scheme to the European ETS. From 1 July 2015 up to 50% of an entity’s liability may be met through international permits (either EUAs or CERs etc) and a limit of 12.5% from CERs has now been imposed. Given that the average price of carbon in Europe over 2012 and early 2013 has been significantly lower than the previous price floor of A$15 per tonne, it is expected that the Australian carbon prices from July 2015 onwards will be lower than under the original scheme
While further changes to the scheme have been postulated by both major parties any change to the legislation must be approved by both houses of Parliament. No such amendments to legislation have formally been introduced to Parliament
EnergyAustralia participation in the Energy Security Fund On 22 June 2012 EnergyAustralia received a cash payment of A$257.5m (or 25.75% of the total) as part of the initial one-off
cash payment to eligible recipient generators
This cash payment was amortised in a straight line manner over the period to which it applied (1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013). The accounts for EnergyAustralia for the six months to 30 June 2013 therefore contain a benefit of A$128.75m in relation to this carbon compensation which is included within the calculation of Gross Margin
EnergyAustralia anticipates receiving a further 25.75% annual allocations of 41.705 million free carbon permits conditional on Yallourn passing a power system reliability test (administered by the Australian Energy Market Operator) and publishing a Clean Energy Investment Plan
