The drought reduced its annual business goals. The profit model for Xichang Electric Power is to meet the electricity demand within its own power supply area through self-generation, the purchase of local small hydropower, and the purchase of electricity from the Sichuan Electric Power Company, and the sale of surplus electricity to the provincial power company during the peak season. As a result of this profit model, in the current arid climate of southwest China, the proportion of companies generating electricity from their own generation and purchasing small hydropower is greatly reduced, and they have to buy electricity from provincial power companies to meet local electricity demand; however, the cost of purchasing electricity online from the province is far higher than that of self-generating and purchasing small local hydropower, leading to a sharp decline in business performance over the same period last year. Another impact of the drought is that some high-energy enterprises in the region had to stop production due to lack of electricity and water, reducing the company's electricity supply and sales volume; in 2010, the company's business target is to generate 560 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, supply 1,235.96 billion kilowatt-hours, and sales volume of 1.1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.
