(Beijing, China, March 24, 2005) Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the

The Project is located in between Huaneng Shanghai Shidongkou First Power

operation, the power plant will need a supply of natural gas of about 900

plant. The investment amount (including capitalized interest) of the Project,
which is calculated according to the pricing level of year 2002, is estimated
to be approximately RMB3.51 billion, 25% of which is equity capital to be
funded by the Company (70%) and Shenergy Company Limited (30%) respectively,
with the remaining portion to be funded by bank loans.
The Company develops, constructs, operates and manages large thermal power
plants in China nationwide, with a total generation capacity of 21,418MW on an
equity basis. The Company wholly owns 16 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.
