This announcement is issued pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing

Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the "Company") has obtained approval from

be supplied directly through Shanghai's main gas pipeline to the interface
outside the walls of the power 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.
