Sustainability Report 2012 • 13
Mainland Utilities Businesses
With the addition of a further 12 businesses,
we operated a total of 150 projects in 22 provinces,
municipalities and autonomous regions on the
mainland in 2012.
The backbone of this portfolio consists of our piped
city-gas businesses. Now consisting of 107 ventures
providing service in 20 provinces, municipalities
and autonomous regions to 14.8 million customers,
sales rose to 11.9 billion cubic metres of city-gas in
2012. These figures cement our role as one of the
largest provider of piped city-gas services in the
country. These services are supported by a number
of upstream and mid-stream facilities, and we
have also diversified into the telecommunications,
city-water and manufacturing services sector, in
addition to our range of burgeoning new energy
businesses.
