POWER GENERATION INCREASES BY 6.30% IN 2008
This
announcement is made pursuant to Rules 13.09(1) and (2) of the Rules Governing
the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong

Huaneng
Power International, Inc. (the “Company”) announces its power generation for
2008.

the Company’s preliminary statistics, for the year ended 31 December 2008, the
Company’s total domestic power generation based on a consolidated basis amounted
to 184.628 billion kWh, an increase of 6.30% over the same period in 2007. The
power generation of Yingkou Power Plant, Yuhuan Power Plant, Qinbei Power Plant
and Shangan Power Plant, etc increased significantly as compared to the same
period last year. The increase in domestic power generation of the Company’s
power plants was mainly attributable to the following reasons:

The
Company had put into operation more new power generating units in 2008,
the safe and stable operation of which had provided a key momentum for the
growth of the Company´s power
generation.
|
|
2.
|
Taking
into consideration the relatively significant changes in the economic
climate in 2008, the Company had further strengthened its marketing
efforts, formulated feasible and effective marketing strategies and
measures and fully utilized the competitive advantages of the power plants
of the Company, thereby facilitating a relatively rapid growth of the
Company´s power generation.
|
|
3.
|

arrangements for the Company´s generating units had been optimized, thus
facilitating a growth in the Company´s power
generation.
