ISSUE OF SHORT-TERM DEBENTURES
This announcement is made by Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the
"Company") pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of
Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
It was resolved at the shareholders' meeting of the Company held on 18th
January 2006 to issue within the PRC short-term debentures of a principal
amount up to RMB5 billion, in either one or multiple tranches.
The Company has completed the first tranche of the issue of the Company's
short-term debenture for year 2006 on 23rd May 2006. The total issuing amount
of the first tranche of short-term debenture is RMB500 million, issued in the
form with interest, with a maturity period of 365 days. The unit face value is
RMB100 and the interest rate is 3.12%.
China Construction Bank Corporation Limited acts as the lead underwriter
to take the lead to form the underwriting syndicate for this tranche of

the short-term debenture will be used as the Company's working capital so as to
