(the “Company”) [NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011] announced that the construction of the expansion project of 2 x 600 MW domestic supercritical coal-fired generating units at Henan Huaneng Qinbei Power Plant Phase II, in which the Company owned 60% interests, has been approved by the National Development and Reform Commission recently.
The project will concurrently install flue-gas desulphurisation facilities, high-performance electrostatic precipitators and flue-gas continuous emission monitoring systems. At the same time, the desulphurisation facilities at the 2 x 600 MW coal-fired generating units at Phase I will be reconstructed.
