Huaneng Power International, Inc. Power Generation Within China Decreases by 5.91% for the Whole Year of 2019

BEIJING, Jan. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Huaneng Power International, Inc. ("HPI", the "Company") (NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011) today announced its power generation for the whole year of 2019.

According to the preliminary statistics of Huaneng Power International, Inc., (the "Company"), in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company's total power generation by power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 102.819 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 0.86% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 100.190 billion kWh, representing an increase of 2.28% over the same period last year. In 2019, the Company's total power generation by the power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 405.006 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 5.91% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 388.182 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 4.38% over the same period last year. In 2019, the Company's average on-grid electricity settlement price for its power plants within China amounted to RMB417.00 per MWh, representing a decrease of 0.35% over the same period last year. In 2019, the Company's market based electricity sold amounted to 216.438 billion kwh, with a ratio of 56.4% comparing to the corresponding total electricity sold, representing an increase of 12.92 percentage points over the same period last year.

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

1. The growth rate of the electricity consumption nation-wide in 2019 showed a significant decline compared to that of the previous year;

2. Wind-power, nuclear power and hydro-power generation had increased substantially, crowding out the space for growth in thermal power generation;

3. The power generation experienced a large negative growth in areas like Guangdong, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other regions, due to factors including decline in the demand for power, limitations on coal consumptions, and the significant increase in power supply from external source.

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

               * According to the requirements
                of relevant policies, as Huaneng
                Fujian Luoyuan Power Plant
                (which is owned by the Company)
                acts as an emergency backup
                power source, the scope of
                statistics has not included its
                internal coal-fired installed
                capacity nor its volume of power
                generation. Since that power
                plant began to generate power
                revenue from the first quarter
                of 2019, the Company's
                electricity sales in Fujian
                Province was greater than the
                power generation.

For the fourth quarter of 2019, the power generation of Tuas Power Limited in Singapore, which is wholly-owned by the Company, accounted for a market share of 21.4% in Singapore, representing a decrease of 0.7 percentage point compared to the same period last year (22.1%). The accumulated power generation in 2019 accounted for a market share of 20.7%, representing a decrease of 0.4 percentage point compared to the same period last year (21.1%). The main reason for the decline in market share was due to the optimal adjustment of the competition strategy of Tuas Power in Singapore energy market.

The Company put into operation the following projects in the fourth quarter:
