Huaneng Power International, Inc. Power Generation Within China for the First Quarter of 2019 Decreases by 0.45% Year on Year

BEIJING, April 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Huaneng Power International, Inc. ("HPI", the "Company") (NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011) today announced its power generation for the first quarter of 2019.

According to the preliminary statistics of Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the "Company"), in the first quarter of 2019, the Company's total power generation by power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 103.839 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 0.45% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 98.255 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 0.06% over the same period last year. For the first quarter of 2019, the Company's average on-grid electricity settlement price for its power plants within China amounted to RMB 421.87 per MWh, representing a decrease of 0.40% over the same period last year.

The decrease in the Company's power generation was mainly attributable to:

1. The slowing down in the growth rate of electricity consumption nation-wide;

2. The Company has relatively a larger proportion of thermal power. In the first quarter, the country's hydropower, wind power and nuclear power increased rapidly, and it occupied the space for thermal power generation;

3. The impact of the coal restrictions policy in East China has affected the thermal power generation.

The power generations (in billion kWh) by regions of the Company are listed below:
