DOMESTIC POWER GENERATION IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2020 DECREASED BY 18.45% YEAR-ON-YEAR
This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.10B of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
According to the preliminary statistics of Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the “Company”), for the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s total power generation by power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 84.676 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 18.45% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 80.652 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 17.92% over the same period last year. For the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s average on-grid electricity settlement price for its power plants within China amounted to RMB422.35 per MWh, representing an increase of 0.11% over the same period last year. For the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s market based electricity sold amounted to 26.135 billion kwh, with a ratio of 33.27% comparing to the corresponding total electricity sold, representing a decrease of 6.28 percentage points over the same period last year.
The decrease in the Company’s power generation was mainly attributable to:
1. | Affected by the epidemic situation at home and abroad, the electricity consumption of the whole society incurred a relatively large negative growth; |
2. | The proportion of thermal power units owned by the Company is relatively large, and they are distributed more in the areas with severe epidemic in East China and Middle China, thus the power generation of the Company is greatly affected. |
The power generations (in billion kWh) of the Company, by regions, are listed below:

* | According to the requirements of relevant policies, as Huaneng Fujian Luoyuan Power Plant (which is owned by the Company) acts as an emergency backup power source, the scope of statistics has not included its coal-fired installed capacity nor its volume of power generation. Since that power plant began to generate power revenue from the first quarter of 2020, the Company’s electricity sales in Fujian Province was greater than the power generation. |
For the first quarter of 2020, the power generation of Tuas Power Limited in Singapore, which is wholly-owned by the Company, accounted for a market share of 21.2% in Singapore, representing an increase of 0.2 percentage point compared to the same period of last year.
The Company's new projects which have commenced operation in the first quarter of 2020 are as follows:
No. | Name of projects which have commenced operation | Type | Location | Operation capacity (MW) | Proportion of equity interest held by the Company (%) | ||||||||
1 | Kangbao Yanyoufang Wind Power | Wind-power | Hebei | 48 | 100 | ||||||||
2 | Kangbao Xujiaying Wind Power | Wind-power | Hebei | 48 | 100 | ||||||||

In addition, the installed capacity of some of the power plants in which the Company has equity interests changed in the first quarter of 2020.
Based on the above, as of 31 March 2020, the Company had a controlled generation capacity of 107,049MW and an equity-based generation capacity of 93,821 MW.
