Description

Owner and operator of a district

heating network serving the city of

Jiamusi, third largest city in

Heilongjiang Province, under a 25

year concession contract

Owner and operator of a district

heating plant and network in the

southwest of Harbin, capital of

Heilongjiang Province

B. Description

a) Dalkia Jiamusi

In 2007, Dalkia Asia signed a concession agreement with the municipality of Jiamusi, for a duration

of 25 years, to manage the former municipal heating company’s network and treble its size. Dalkia

Asia set up a JV, Dalkia (Jiamusi) Urban Heating Co., Ltd., with Jiamusi New Times Urban

Infrastructure Construction and Investment (Group) Co. Ltd. (which belongs to the municipality).

Dalkia Jiamusi is mainly involved in heating distribution. During the heating season 09/10, the

heating area was 8,532,203 m2. The main heat production sources are from 2 cogenerations which

belong to third parties. They are located at the West and East sides of Jiamusi. Dalkia Jiamusi also

owns a 100-MWth-boiler plant, “Jing Jiang”, located in the northern part of the town of Jiamusi, and

7 small peak-boilers plants in 2009.

Important improvements in energy savings and pollution reduction have been achieved while we

were improving simultaneously heating service quality

b) Dalkia Harbin

In 2007, Dalkia acquired majority interest in Yangguang, the company undertaking the development

and operation of the South West heating network of Harbin City. The remaining shares of Yangguang

are held by the municipal heating group of Harbin City.

Dalkia Harbin is both involved in the production and distribution of heating to supply the southern

part of the Yangguang District. During the heating season 09/10, the heating area increased to

2,822,938 m2. Dalkia Harbin currently owns a thermal plant (5 x 58MW HOB), and we are planning to

build a cogeneration plant; in addition, Dalkia Harbin owns 2 other small peak boiler houses.

Dalkia Harbin contributes actively to energy savings and pollution reduction.

C. Construction

Construction period can only take place between 2 heating seasons in reason of the extreme

weather conditions during winter.

New connection contract are signed after the heating season; thereafter detailed Planning / Design /

Procurement period starts and lasts approximately 4 months, thus construction works can only start

from July.

January February March April May June July August September October November December

Hearting Season

Planning / Design / Procurement Period

Construction Period

The reduction of primary energy use and CO2 emissions during heating seasons are mainly made

possible through:

The expansion of the networks which enable to connect building previously supplied by small coal boilers;

The energy efficiency through the installation of new substation (where the energy was supplied directly)

The improvements in operation (automation, temperature control, network control, production efficiency…)

The modernization and/or modification of the network which enable to supply energy more efficiently, and drastically reduce the water loss (Jiamusi);

II. Environmental and Social Management

A. Environmental Management System Implementation

In December 2009, the Environmental Policy of Dalkia China was updated based on our performance

of QHSE and we kept implementing it during the first half of 2010:

• environment impacts identification;

• emergency situation management;

• risk analysis / management;

• risk mapping;

• issued more procedures for operation & management;

• internal audit;

• organization optimization with QHSE standards in all

Chinese entities;

• qualified individuals and teams; and

• QHSE seminar & training.

Departments in each entity (highlighted in orange in the organization charts below) have been

implemented to develop environmental and social tools and procedures/standards.

These departments constantly communicate with Dalkia China’s QHSE team.

Moreover, a wide range of training courses and seminars were held during the first half of 2010 to

enhance our local teams’ ability and performance. The training targeted not only the employees in

charge of QHSE, but also operators and technicians, managers.

In addition, several new procedures were issued or drafted to standardize our managerial and

operation / maintenance process. The Emergency Situation Reaction Procedure and the Prevention

of Legionella Risk have been drafted and will be published during the second half of 2010.

Procedures are implemented to enhance skills of our employees, improve Dalkia’s overall operations,

and therefore ensure QHSE performance; these procedures include practical engineering, technical

methods, operational software, etc. according to Veolia group, international and national standards.

Our operations thus comply with national and local regulations / standards, and with Environmental

Policy stated by Dalkia Asia and Dalkia China as well.

Finally, special handbooks prepared by Dalkia Company were introduced to Dalkia China as guideline

for its management and operation such as:

Finally, Dalkia China shall annually report to Dalkia

headquarter about its energy consumption and general

efficiency, emission level, H&S situation etc. The reporting

shall be done at the beginning of each year.

This reporting is derogatory for each entity worldwide and

enables Dalkia Company to follow up and develop tools and

procedures to harmonize Dalkia Company’s overall

operations.

These indicators are published and shared within all entities.

III. COMPLIANCE WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL REQUIREMENTS AS

SPECIFIED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT

A. Compliance with Country Requirements

Each Dalkia’s entity needs to comply with national and local laws, regulations, standards and codes.

• As mentioned in the Reporting for Year 2009, the intranet of Dalkia China lists all the national

and local laws, regulations, standards and codes related to our operations and sector (bilingual

version). This list is continuously upgraded by a dedicated employee from Dalkia China. Every

employee has a continuous access. QHSE Department in each entity, under the supervision of

Dalkia China, has the responsibility to implement procedures to comply with these national and

local laws, regulations, standards and codes. The following pictures are snapshots of the

intranet pages where standards, laws and regulations can be downloaded:

• Internal QHSE inspections and audits regularly take place (the following picture show the Risk

Analysis Audit Report Cover Page and 2 example sheets). An action plan is prepared after an

inspection / audit (if needed), and its application and performance is under supervision of

entities’ QHSE employees and Dalkia China management.

Thanks to all the measures explained above, there have been or have no QHSE issues that did or will

lead to any event of default up to June 30, 2010.

B. Compliance with Environmental and Social Requirements

Existing projects are in compliance with the Environmental and Social Requirements defined in the

Facility Agreement and Dalkia policy as well:

• A Reporting System has been implemented to communicate on a Annually, Semi-Annually

and Immediate basis as defined in Clauses 17 and 19;

• Implementation of Schedules 7 and 8 (together with Schedule 17) is still in progress;

• Compliance with national and local laws, regulations, standards and codes;

• Integration in the organization of QHSE standards and procedures through management,

trainings, seminars, QHSE campaign and other means (handbooks…);

• Implementation of departments dedicated to HQSE;

• Implementation of audits and inspections ;

• Continuous reinforcement/improvement of the QHSE policies, standards and objectives;

• Continuous experience and competencies shared with Dalkia’s entities all over the world;

• Improvement of community relations.

C. Management of subcontractor & suppliers

As a part of a global company, we are aware that our sourcing strategies have significant impact on

the economic, social and environmental fabric of local communities. Since our choices can influence

our employees and community's quality of life -in either a positive or a negative way- we feel that

we have duty of care to heighten our subcontractors / suppliers' awareness and performance. While

being mindful to favour local outsourcing / purchasing, our teams are engaged in a gradual process

of bringing purchaser practice into line with sustainable development values and criteria.

QHSE requirements are included in every contract.

Subcontractors and suppliers selection generally consists of:

• Information Gathering: to optimize existing or find potential subcontractors / suppliers;

• Subcontractors / Suppliers Contact: through subcontractor / supplier identifying, quotation,

proposals, and tender or direct contact process, a respective contract may be made with the

subcontractors / suppliers;

• Background Review: References for product/service quality are consulted, and any

requirements for follow-up services including installation, maintenance, and warranty are

investigated.

Dalkia, through its long presence in China and particularly in Heilongjiang province, has established

an extensive list of local suppliers. Indeed, important synergies have be made in the selection and

control of subcontractors / suppliers due to 1) Dalkia Jiamusi and Dalkia Harbin have both the same

scope of business and 2) they are both located in Heilongjiang province.

Note that the subcontractors / suppliers proposals and contracts will be reviewed by the local senior

management and Dalkia China purchase team as well.

We continuously monitor our existing subcontractors / suppliers on sustainable development criteria,

insert contractual clauses in our relations with subcontractors / suppliers, introduce adherence to

sustainable development. However we also seek opportunities with new potential subcontractors /

suppliers which may further emphasize sustainable development.

The audit program and corrective action for any non-conformity raised will be monitored by the

management and contract review processes. These audits are designed to ensure that

subcontractors / suppliers’ services / products are meeting not only the required Dalkia’s service and

QHSE levels but also national and local standards.

We recognize the safety, health, environmental and ethical impacts of all outsource / supply

decisions, and will involve our subcontractors / suppliers in addressing issues that may arise and

expect them to assist us in minimizing any negative effects. We will not engage in any activity with

subcontractors / suppliers which might be deemed to be anti-competitive or in breach of any

statutory requirements in any country or trading region.

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PROGRESS OF PROJECT(S) UNDERWAY

The development of heating surface, compared to Heating Season 08/09, did not lead to an increase

of the unit energy consumption. Through the improvement in the operation and maintenance and

efficient construction plans, our local teams succeeded in saving energy sensitively and in reducing

emissions on one part; and in improving heating services and customer satisfaction on the other part.

The main tasks of Dalkia Jiamusi and Dalkia Harbin, from the end of the heating season up to June 30,

2010, are to prepare detailed Planning / Design / Procurement to launch the construction.

Construction period is usually short (from July to October) as our local teams, in coordination with

the local authorities, prepare from the end of the heating season, construction planning and budget

to connect HOBs and develop network. This process can be challenging as property developer may

change their plans many times. Once Planning and Design are completed, our local teams launch the

procurement process which can last long as local teams, in coordination with Dalkia China, needs to

carefully review proposals in order to meet QHSE and budget targets.

Planning shall meet environmental and development requirements stated by the local government.

• During this reporting period, construction has not yet started, thus no delays have

occurred;

• During this reporting period, there were no environmental and social issues, or

unanticipated environmental or social impacts;

• During the reporting period, there were no land acquisition, resettlement, or indigenous

people issues;

• During this reporting period, there are no unresolved social and environmental status;

• Our local entities comply with the ADB, national and local Environmental and Social

Requirements.

In order to improve our operations and service quality, below is the description, status, and completion timetable of our EMS up to June 30, 2010:

VI. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS.

A. Any initiatives to improve environmental performance

Dalkia Jiamusi and Dalkia Harbin initiated some events or methods to improve our performances in

environmental matters:

• Pursuance of the installation of internal de-sulphurization system using the limestone

feeding system in order to reduce SO2 emission in Harbin.

• Progress in implementation of the “Continuous Monitoring System” (CMS) in order to

monitor emissions level more accurately in Harbin in cooperation with the local

Environmental Protection Bureaus (EPBs);

• Implementation, supervision, monitoring and improvement of the annual environmental

and safety plan and objectives, and key performance indicators (KPI) in all sites. Dalkia

China has strengthened QHSE policy and objectives for 2010 as shown below:

Remark 1: CTC means Dalkia Changyang Thermal Energy (Chongqing) Co., Ltd.

• We continuously implement and improve trainings as the steady improvement of our

staff skills will result in higher energy efficiency and service quality, and therefore will

positively impact the environment and the community;

• To ensure that the EMS is being well implemented in all our sites in China; we thus will

continue to internally audit our entities (safety situation audit, environmental impacts

identification and improvement, risk mapping, relevant external issues checking around

our sites, etc…).

B. Any initiatives to implement and improve sustainable development in operations

We progressively implement relevant initiatives for further improvement and obtain a sustainable

development in China by:

• optimizing the limestone feeding system and adjusting limestone consumption based on

the coal quality burned;

• renovating the ground of coal storage yard in Harbin in order to avoid any groundwater

pollution and explosion risks of fuel storage tank;

• implementing and improving trainings ;

• Defining and implementing a resettlement plan on the bases of Schedule 8 (from the

Facility Agreement);

• Keeping closer contact with community.

C. Customer Relations and satisfaction

a) General

In China, Dalkia has developed a corporate internet website in

Chinese in order to communicate about Dalkia Group and

specifically about its operation in Asia. (http://www.dalkia.cn/).

This website is not different from Dalkia Group’s corporate

website, except that there is a Chinese version.

Dalkia Jiamusi has developed many means in order to

communicate with the community as the acquired company

had been operating the heating network for many years which

is different for Dalkia Harbin.

b) Customers communication

The means below are detailed in the Reporting for Year 2009.

Newspapers

Internet

Local radio

Question stand in Jiamusi main square

Two new means were developed since the Reporting for Year 2009:

Public Service Ads: the “Q&A of Heat Campaign” was launched during last Heating Season in Jiamusi which comprises:

Info flash

Info flashes were daily broadcasted at around 8h00

(after news time) during the peak of heating

season. It presented key information, with images,

about the heating operations and systems.

Flyer

The flyers were distributed in 2 ways: in booths

and by home delivery.

It emphasizes more on principles and national

regulations than the info flash.

Customer survey sheet

Stick together with the flyer. Some booths were installed to collect

these customer survey sheets.

Film

Dalkia was authorized by CCTV and its source partners to broadcast a

science education film about district heating system.

c) Customers Services Improvement

In order to improve the service quality of our newly acquired entities, we implement new systems

that successfully work in our other operation sites worldwide.

Centralized Collecting Office

Before the acquisition, acquired entities heavily relied on “fee collectors” to recover heating fees. As

this method is not efficient, we decided to centralize the fees recovery into one sole collecting office.

Surveys

Dalkia has a constant will to improve its services. We

therefore do surveys and monitor the results as we

believe that it is a valuable way to assess the progress

of our operations. Currently, this method has only been

implemented in Jiamusi and we intend to implement

such method as well in Harbin. For example, small

customer surveys (shown below) were distributed in

Jiamusi during last heating seasons. (please refer to

section VI.C.b) for more details).

A managerial procedure for service survey is now at the drafting level and would be issued for all

entities of Dalkia China soon.

D. Community

a) Social responsibility

Through its ultimate mother company, Veolia Group, Dalkia has a strong social policy which reflects in our entities as well. Dalkia actively involves itself in the local community as we believe that not only through energy we can build a better environment but through the community as well.

Money Donation to disaster-hit area (such as the Qinghai earthquake in April 2010);

Donation of food to poor families;

Provide paid-works to jobless women to make up insulation quilts.
