Last year, the Group signed a 3-year contract to supply LNG to a Beijing Gas subsidiary with annual caps at RMB150 million to 180 million. Besides, the Group shall acquire from Beijing Gas a city-gas project in the Teng county of Guangxi province. The Group and Beijing Gas continue to explore cooperation opportunities with synergies expected..

With 28% net debt to equity ratio as at 30 June 2017, the Group plans to spend HK$1 billion on capex per annum in the coming few years to drive continuous high growth through M&As.
