HUANENG POWER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Announces its Power Generation for the First Half of 2004
(Beijing, China, July 8, 2004) Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the
"Company") [NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011] today announced its power
generation for the first half of 2004.
Based on preliminary statistics, as of June 30, 2004, the Company's total
power generation based on the consolidated financial statement for the first
half of this year was 48.83 billion kWh, an increase of 18.87% over the same
period last year. The power generation of Fuzhou Power Plant, Dandong Power
Plant, Weihai Power Plant and Nantong Power Plant increased significantly.
The increase in power generation of the Company's power plants in the first
half of 2004 was mainly attributable to the following reasons:
1. Power generation contributed from Yushe Power Plant and Xindian Power
Plant, which were acquired in 2003;
2. Stable generation capacity of the newly operated generating units 5
and 6 of Jining Power Plant;
3. The rapid growth of power consumption in the provinces of Fujian,
Liaoning and Jiangsu where the Company's power plants operate
provided favorable conditions for increasing the Company's power
generation.
The power generation of each of the Company's power plants in the first half
of 2004 was listed below (in billion kWh):
