POWER GENERATION WITHIN CHINA INCREASES BY 11.04% FOR THE FIRST THREE QUARTERS OF 2018

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 ”), in the third quarter of 2018, the Company’s total power generation by power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 116.489 billion kWh, representing an increase of 8.27% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 109.520 billion kWh, representing an increase of 8.34% over the same period last year. For the first three quarters of 2018, the Company’s total power generation by the power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 326.755 billion kWh, representing an increase of 11.04% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 307.819 billion kWh, representing an increase of 11.04% over the same period last year. In the first three quarters of 2018, the Company’s average ongrid electricity sales price for its power plants within China amounted to RMB417.12 per MWh, representing an increase of 1.99% over the same period last year.

The increase in the Company’s power generation was mainly attributable to the following factors:
 
1.
The national electricity consumption has maintained a relatively high growth rate, especially in the tertiary industry and residential electricity consumption, which had maintained double-digit growth.

2.
Benefiting from the recovery of thermal power utilization hours, the Company’s power generation in the provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Central China increased by a large margin year-on-year; and

3.
New wind power, photovoltaic and gas units contributed to the growth of power generation.
 


The power generation (in billion kWh) in each region of the Company’s domestic power plants are listed below:
