OVERSEAS REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENT
Obtaining Approval on the Reconstruction and Expansion Project of
Shandong Huaneng Xindian Power Plant
This announcement is issued pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing
the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Listing
Rules").
Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the "Company") announced that the
reconstruction and expansion project of Shandong Huaneng Xindian Power Plant
(known as Xindian Power Plant Phase III) has been confirmed by and registered
with the National Development and Reform Commission recently.
The project comprises the construction of two 300MW domestic critical
coal-fired generating units with flue-gas disulphurisation facilities being
constructed at the same time. After being put into operation, the power plant
will need a supply of coal of about 1.5 million tonnes annually, and the coal
will be supplied from Shanxi by rail via the power plant's special railway to
the power plant. The investment amount (including capitalized interest) of the
project, which is calculated according to the pricing level of year 2004, is
estimated to be approximately RMB2.47 billion, 20% of which is equity capital
to be funded by the Company (95%) and Zibo Municipal Linzi District
Public-owned Asset Management Limited Company (5%) respectively, with the
remaining portion to be funded by bank loans.
The Company develops, constructs, operates and manages power plants in China
nationwide, with a total generation capacity of 21,653MW on an equity basis.
The Company wholly owns sixteen operating power plants, and has controlling
interests in ten operating power companies and minority interests in four
operating power companies. Today, the Company is one of the largest independent
power producers in China.
