HUANENG POWER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
ENTERS INTO MEDIUM-TO-LONG-TERM COAL SUPPLY AGREEMENT WITH CCIEC
(Beijing, China, August 9, 2004) Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the
"Company") [NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011] has signed the "Year 2005-2009
Coal Supply Agreement" (the "Agreement") with China Coal Import & Export
Company ("CCIEC") in Beijing today.
Pursuant to the Agreement, CCIEC will supply the Company with thermal coal
amounting to 5 million tonnes, 6 million tonnes, 7 million tonnes, 8.5 million
tonnes and 10 million tonnes, respectively for the following five years from
2005 to 2009. After amicable discussion under the principles, which secure the
stability and equality, the annual coal price adjustment mechanism has been
established.
CCIEC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China National Coal Group Corporation, of
which the annual coal yield is 80 million tonnes. Currently, it is one of the
largest coal suppliers in the PRC. Throughout the years, CCIEC and the Company
have been maintaining good relations regarding coal supplies as well as other
business aspects. In view of the difficult market situations regarding coal
supply, electricity demand and transportation, both parties have been working
hard on the principles of integrity and mutual benefits with an aim to resolve
the problem of power supply shortage during the peak summer season. The
cooperation between the two parties provide the thrust for the operation of a
medium-to-long term agreement on coal supply, effectively ensuring stable
supply and demand for both parties. The signing of the Agreement is consistent
with the State's objectives and policies on promoting market-oriented
mechanisms in thermal coal supply.
Huaneng Power International, Inc. develops, constructs, operates and manages
large thermal power plants in China nationwide, with a total generation
capacity of 18,832MW on an equity basis. The Company wholly owns sixteen power
plants, and has controlling interests in seven power plants and minority
interests in four power companies. Today, it is one of the largest independent
power producers in China.
