GUOZHEN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Guo Zhen Environmental Protection (GZEP, formerly called the Anhui Guozhen Environmental
Protection Energy-Saving Technology Company) is owned by the Anhui Guozhen Group Ltd. Co. This
is a privately held company based in Anhui Province that has net assets of CNY400million. GZEP has
been the lead builder for some 30 wastewater treatment plants and has been involved in the
construction of over 200 other wastewater treatment plants.
A total of 10 BOT and TOT contract awards have been identified, the first five of which were
generating revenues of approximately USD13million pa in 2005. These contracts serve approximately
6.0million people.

2001: 15 year operating contract for two wastewater treatment plants in Shenzhen City (total city

2001: BOT project in Guangdong Province, the Xinhui East Wastewater Treatment Plant. The
wastewater treatment plant serving the Xinhui District of Jiangmen (Guangdong Province) opened in
October 2003. The district invested CNY36million (EUR4million) for the land and a supporting network
of sewage pipelines. Guozhen is responsible for the WWTW’s CNY42million investment and
operation. The city has to pay CNY0.67 (EUR0.07) for each tonne of sewage treated, compared with
CNY1.2 (EUR0.13) it would have spent if it had conducted its own investing and management. The
