At the end of March, power generating capacity on an equity basis was 33,723 megawatts (MW). Capacity at plants that it operates was 37,119 MW, the company said earlier. Operating revenue in the first three months of 2008 was 13.53 billion yuan, up20.23 percent, with operating costs up 36.14 percent. It did not give details about its coal costs in the statement. Earnings per share fell sharply to 0.02 yuan in the first quarter from 0.10 a year earlier.
