We refer to the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Grant Agreement, dated

for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank), acting as an Implementing Agency of the
GEF, and the Project Agreement of the same date among the World Bank, Shandong Province,
Shanxi Province, and Guangdong Power Grid Corporation (the latter three, collectively, the
Project Implementing Entities), both for the above-referenced project (the Project) (the Grant
Agreement and the Project Agreement, respectively). We also refer to the letters dated
November 3, 2011, February 7, 2012, and November 9, 2012 from the International Department
of the Ministry of Finance on behalf of the Recipient, requesting certain amendments to the Grant
and Project Agreements to facilitate Project implementation, as well as discussions among the
Recipient, the World Bank, and the Project Implementing Entities relating to other amendments
during supervision of the Project, as reflected in the aide-memoires transmitted to the Recipient
and the Project Implementing Entities through the World Bank's letters dated November 25, 2011
and May 10, 2012.
We are pleased to inform you that the World Bank concurs with the request and proposes
to amend the Project Agreement as set forth below.
