HUANENG POWER INTERNATIONAL, INC. By /s/ Huang Long -------------- Name: Huang Long Title: Director Date: October 18, 2005 [GRAPHIC OMITTED] To: Business Editor [For Immediate Release] HUANENG POWER INTERNATIONAL, INC. Announces Results for the First Three Quarters of 2005 (Beijing, China, October 18, 2005) Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the "Company") [NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011] today announced its unaudited results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Under the PRC Accounting Standards, for the first three quarters of 2005, the Company realised operating revenues of RMB29.126 billion, representing an increase of 35.97% over the same period last year. Net profit amounted to RMB3.050 billion, representing a decrease of 20.97% over the same period last year. The Company's total power generation on a consolidated basis for the first three quarters of 2005 amounted to 110.956 billion kWh, an increase of 37.3% over the same period last year. Compared to the same period last year, newly acquired power plants and newly operated generating units brought an expansion of the overall operating scale of the Company as well as a significant increase in the Company's power generation during the first three quarters of 2005. The tariff hike under the coal-electricity price linkage mechanism during the year coupled with lower tariff rates for newly added generating units has resulted in commensurate growth of the Company's revenues and power generation. As the price of coal remained at a high level, the unit fuel cost amounted to RMB158.63/MWh, representing an increase of 15.61% over the same period last year. The increase in revenues could not fully offset the impact of fuel costs upon profits, and as a result, the Company's net profit decreased compared to the same period last year. Compared to the second quarter, the coal price was relatively lower in the third quarter, thus resulting in an increase of the Company's gross profit. Huaneng Power International, Inc. develops, constructs, operates and manages power plants in China nationwide, with a total generation capacity of 21,653MW on an equity basis. The Company wholly owns sixteen operating power plants, and has controlling interests in ten operating power companies and minority interests in four operating power companies. Today, it is one of the largest independent power producers in China. Encl: The unaudited summary financial information of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The summary financial information is published under the listing regulations of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The summary financial information was prepared in accordance with "Accounting System for Business Enterprises" and "Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises" of the People's Republic of China ("PRC GAAP"), which differs from the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP").
