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

According to the preliminary statistics of Huaneng Power International, Inc., (the "Company"), for the first quarter of 2020, the Company's total power generation by power plants within China on consolidated basis amounted to 84.676 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 18.45% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold by the Company amounted to 80.652 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 17.92% over the same period last year. For the first quarter of 2020, the Company's average on-grid electricity settlement price for its power plants within China amounted to RMB422.35 per MWh, representing an increase of 0.11% over the same period last year. For the first quarter of 2020, the Company's market based electricity sold amounted to 26.135 billion kwh, with a ratio of 33.27% comparing to the corresponding total electricity sold, representing a decrease of 6.28 percentage points over the same period last year.

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

1. Affected by the epidemic situation at home and abroad, the electricity consumption of the whole society incurred a relatively large negative growth;

2. The proportion of thermal power units owned by the Company is relatively large, and they are distributed more in the areas with severe epidemic in East China and Middle China, thus the power generation of the company is greatly affected.

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