HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 29 November 2021 - Tian Lun Gas Holdings Limited (1600.HK) ("Tian Lun Gas" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") announced the new development strategy plans and goals for the next three years, with gas business as the core, to become China's first-class supplier and service provider for green low-carbon energy. At the same time, the Group also announced it has entered into a strategic cooperation agreement ("Agreement") with the SPIC Henan Electric Power Co., Ltd. ("SPIC Henan"), through resource sharing and complementary advantages, the two parties will enhance their core competitiveness, provide multi-category smart energy services to more end customers, and create more social benefits and commercial value.

 

In order to conform to the market trends and assist in China's carbon peak and carbon neutral goals, the Board of directors of the Company has recently formulated the Company's development strategy plans and goals for the next three years (2022-2024) based on the current conditions and development trends of the energy industry. Through business expansion and innovation with gas business as the core, the Company will further expanding and innovating low-carbon energy business, aiming to become China's first-class supplier and service provider for green low-carbon energy. The strategic outline for the next three years will following below five major directions:

 

1.    The Company strives to explore industrial and commercial users by being user-centric to strengthen continuous and deep understanding of users' energy needs and characteristics. Through adopting flexible pricing policies, providing users with low-carbon integrated energy services, energy-saving services, and other methods, it will be able to reduce costs, increase efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, increase customer stickiness, and widen the user base. Meanwhile, key measures such as increasing clean heating for residents, educating township users in consuming gas, and expanding business to industrial parks and surrounding townships will accelerate the growth of individual households and total gas consumption for existing projects. In terms of gas source optimisation, various measures such as strengthening upstream cooperation, achieving pipeline interconnection, and reinforcing deployment of gas storage will enhance the competitiveness of gas sources and boost the high-quality endogenous growth of the gas business.

 

2.    The Company will seize important integration opportunities derived from the industry in the next few years, take advantage of Tian Lun Gas's high-quality and efficient mergers and acquisitions, and focus on key areas (neighbouring regions of provincial capitals, industrial transfer, areas for upgrading natural gas consumption, and gas source production and gathering areas), to obtain high-quality projects (with a high proportion of gas sales profits, a high proportion of industrial and commercial users, and great development potential), thereby achieving regional synergy. Meanwhile, the Company will optimise the investment management mechanism and mobilize all involving parties to facilitate high-quality mergers and acquisitions of the gas business.

 

3.    The Company plans to strengthen innovative business development in the next three years, and such revenue is expected to account for 10% of the Group's overall revenue by 2024. In terms of low-carbon energy services, we will customize our promotion on natural gas, photovoltaics, wind energy, geothermal energy, biomass energy, energy storage, hydrogen energy and others in a flexible manner depending on the different energy needs of urban and township users as well as resource quality so as to cater for the locals. In terms of safety and health services, in response to different consumption needs and consumption habits of the users from both cities and townships, the combination of self-owned brands and cross-industry alliances is cultivated to provide users with gas safety value-added services, smart manufacturing of safe and healthy products and living services, etc., thereby improving customer conversion rate and ARPU value (average income per household), and increasing customer stickiness.

 

4.    Through achieving the endogenous exploration of gas stock business as well as high-quality extensional mergers and acquisitions, the Company expects to achieve the goal of not less than 25% annual compound growth in overall retail gas sales in the next three years (2022-2024). Meanwhile, achieving a rapid increase in the proportion of revenue from gas sales, value-added services and innovative businesses is able to boost the Company's sustainable development.

 

5.    With the growth being guaranteed, the Company will continue to enhance safety management, improve the safety structure of Business Division and its member companies, strengthen the safe operation of equipment, optimise the production environment, and strengthen management methods and safety promotion. Meanwhile, the Company plans to continuously implement comprehensive improvement plans for environemental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance (ESG), in order to strengthen the implementaion of core development concept in relation to sustainable development as well as fully deploy its business characteristics (i.e. environemental protection), demonstrating full support to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In terms of operation, we actively implement the action plans for "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality", and offer long-term commitment to support and achieve sustainable development goals in development strategies and business operations, as well as promote the high-quality development of the Company.

 

At the same time, the Company has recently entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with SPIC Henan Electric Power Co., Ltd. The two parties agree to promote the national dual-carbon policy, rural revitalization, common prosperity and the ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin on the premise of fulfilling their respective development concepts, and to coordinate their respective advantageous resources to jointly focus on the fields of green and low-carbon energy, green and low-carbon industry, green and low-carbon urban and rural construction, green and low-carbon transportation, and circular development of industrial parks. The two parties will create a win-win and sustainable strategic partnership. The main contents of the agreement are set out as follows:

 

1.    Integrating the photovoltaic resources available to both parties, the two parties will jointly develop, construct, and operate various photovoltaic projects, making full use of their respective investment, financing and operational advantages in the field of clean energy, and strengthening resource integration and optimal allocation. Combing the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the county-wide photovoltaic promotion policy, the two parties will select suitable areas (including but not limited to Henan, Gansu, Shaanxi, Yunnan) to carry out various development projects, such as county-wide rooftop distributed photovoltaic, industrial and commercial distributed photovoltaic, household photovoltaic, agricultural photovoltaic, wind power, energy storage and biomass gas, demonstrating the comprehensive application of multiple energy sources with innovation, and creating a new energy system based on clean energy.

 

2.    Based on their own technological advantages and market resource advantages, the two parties will jointly carry out the development of smart energy and energy-saving transformation projects, especially in the energy-intensive industries, such as the petroleum, coal and other fuel processing industries, chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industries, non-metallic mineral products industry, ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry, and non-ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry.

 

3.    The two parties will deepen the application of clean energy in buildings and jointly promote the integrated market application of photovoltaic power generation and building energy supply.
