We maintain our accounts in Renminbi yuan ("Renminbi" or "RMB"), the lawful currency of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC" or "China"). References herein to "US$" or "US Dollars" are to United States Dollars, references to "HK$" are to Hong Kong Dollars, and references to “S$” are to Singapore Dollars. References to ADRs and ADSs are to American Depositary Receipts and American Depositary Shares, respectively. Translations of amounts from Renminbi to US Dollars are solely for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise indicated, any translations from Renminbi to US Dollars or from US Dollars to Renminbi were translated at the average rate announced by the People's Bank of China (the "PBOC Rate") on December 31, 2009 of US$1.00 to RMB6.8282. No representation is made that the Renminbi or US Dollar amounts referred to herein could have been or could be converted into US Dollars or Renminbi, as the case may be, at the PBOC Rate or at all.

References to "A Shares" are to common tradable shares issued to domestic shareholders.

References to the "central government" refer to the national government of the PRC and its various ministries, agencies and commissions.

Risks relating to our business and the PRC's power industry

Government regulation of on-grid power tariffs and other aspects of the power industry may adversely affect our business

Similar to electric power companies in other countries, we are subject to governmental and electric grid regulations in virtually all aspects of our operations, including the amount and timing of electricity generations, the setting of on-grid tariffs, the performance of scheduled maintenance and compliance with power grid control and dispatch directives and environment protection. There can be no assurance that these regulations will not change in the future in a manner which could adversely affect our business.

The on-grid tariffs for our planned output are subject to a review and approval process involving the NDRC and the relevant provincial government. Prior to April 2001, the on-grid tariffs of our planned output were designed to enable us to recover all operating and debt servicing costs and to earn a fixed rate of return. Since April 2001, however, the PRC government has started to gradually implement a new on-grid tariff-setting mechanism based on the operating terms of power plants as well as the average costs of comparable power plants. Pursuant to the NDRC circular issued in June 2004, the on-grid tariffs for our newly built power generating units commencing operation from June 2004 have been set on the basis of the average cost of comparable units adding tax and reasonable return in the regional grid. Any future reductions in our tariffs, or our inability to raise tariffs (for example, to cover any increased costs we may have to incur) as a result of the new on-grid tariff-setting mechanism, may adversely affect our revenue and profit.

In addition, the PRC government started in 1999 to experiment with a program to effect power sales through competitive bidding in some of the provinces where we operate our power plants. The on-grid tariffs for power sold through competitive bidding are generally lower than the pre-approved on-grid tariffs for planned output. Although the power sales through competitive bidding in the last few years constituted only a small fraction of our total output, the PRC government is in the process of gradually expanding the program with a view to create a market-oriented electric power industry. Any increased power sales through competitive bidding may reduce our on-grid tariffs and adversely affect our revenue and profits.

Furthermore, the PRC government started in 2009 to promote the practice of direct power purchase by large power end-users. Pursuant to the circular jointly issued by NDRC, The State Electricity Regulatory Commission (“SERC”) and China National Energy Administration in June 2009, the direct power purchase price consists of direct transaction price, on-grid dispatch and distribution price and governmental levies and charges, in which the direct transaction price shall be freely determined through negotiation between the power generation company and the large power end-user. The price of direct power purchase shall be subject to the demand in the power market, and may increase due to power supply shortfall. In terms of power generation company engaged in direct power purchase, direct power sales constitute a portion of the total power sales, thus affecting the on-grid power sales of the company. As of December 31, 2009, most of the provinces and municipalities in China have not promulgated detailed implementation rules with respect to direct power purchase. Furthermore, the scale and mode of the transaction are also subject to the structure and level of development of the local economy. Although the direct power purchase may act as an alternative channel for our power sales, there is uncertainty as to the effect of the practice of direct power purchase over our operating results.The on-grid tariff-setting mechanism is evolving with the reforming of the PRC electric power industry. There is no assurance that it will not change in a manner which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. See “Item 4 Information of the Company – B. Business Overview – Pricing Policy”.

If our power plants receive less dispatching than planned generation, the power plants will sell less electricity than planned

Our profitability depends, in part, upon each of our power plants generating electricity at a level sufficient to meet or exceed the planned generation, which in turn will be subject to local demand for electric power and dispatching to the grids by the dispatch centres of the local grid companies.

The dispatch of electric power generated by a power plant is controlled by the dispatch centre of the applicable grid companies pursuant to a dispatch agreement with us and to governmental dispatch regulations. In each of the markets we operate, we compete against other power plants for power sales. No assurance can be given that the dispatch centres will dispatch the full amount of the planned generation of our power plants. A reduction by the dispatch centre in the amount of electric power dispatched relative to a power plant's planned generation could have an adverse effect on the profitability of our operations. However, we have not encountered any such event in the past.

In August 2007, General Office of the State Council issued a notice, providing that the energy saving and electricity dispatch shall consolidate with the development of the power market, which optimize the power market. The SERC is conducting research on how to effectively combine the energy saving and electricity dispatch with the development of the power market, and the detailed measures are still in the process of drafting. In October 2008, the SERC approved the trial implementation of the policy of energy saving and electricity dispatch in certain pilot provinces. There can be no assurance that such implementation will not results in any decrease in the amount of the power dispatched of any of our power plants.

The power industry reform may affect our business

PRC government in 2002 announced and started to implement measures to further reform the power industry, with the ultimate goal to create a more open and fair power market. As part of the reform, five power generating companies, including Huaneng Group, were created or restructured to take over all the power generation assets originally belonging to the State Power Corporation of China. In addition, two grid companies were created to take over the power transmission and distribution assets originally belonging to the State Power Corporation of China. An independent power supervisory commission, the SERC, was created to regulate the power industry. It is uncertain how these reform measures and any further reforms are going to be implemented and how they will impact our business.

On April 6, 2007, the PRC State Council issued the Opinions on Implementing Further Reform in Power Industry during the “Eleventh Five-Year Plan” period, or the Implementing Opinions, which confirm the direction of reform and present further guidance. According to the Implementing Opinions, the government encourages environment protection and renovation and replacement of outdated generating units. The further reform will not only bring opportunities to power industry but also intensify the competition which may affect our business.

We are effectively controlled by Huaneng Group and HIPDC, whose interests may differ from those of our other shareholders

Huaneng Group, directly or through its wholly-owned subsidiary, and HIPDC directly hold 8.92% and 42.03% of our total outstanding shares respectively. As Huaneng Group is HIPDC’s parent company, they may exert effective control over us in concert. Their interests may sometimes conflict with those of our other minority shareholders. There is no assurance that Huaneng Group and HIPDC will always vote their shares, or direct the directors nominated by them to act in a way that will benefit our other minority shareholders.

Disruption in coal supply and its transportation as well as increase in coal price may adversely affect the normal operation of our power plants

A substantial majority of our power plants are fueled by coal. We have obtained coal for our power plants through a combination of purchases pursuant to the key contracts and purchases in the open market. We have not experienced shutdowns or reduced electricity generation caused by inadequate coal supply or transportation services, there can be no assurance that, in the event of national coal supply shortfalls, our operations will not be adversely affected. In addition, our results of operation are sensitive to the fluctuation of coal price. Since 2003, the continuous increase of coal price has increased our costs substantially and caused our profits to decline. Although the government has established a coal-electricity price linkage mechanism to allow power generating companies to increase their power tariffs to respond to the increase of coal price, the implementation of the mechanism involves significant uncertainties. There is no assurance that we will be able to adjust our power tariff to pass on the increase of coal price to our customers. For a detailed discussion of the coal-electricity price linkage mechanism, see “Item 4 Information of the Company-B Business Overview – Pricing Policy”. Starting from 2009, in furtherance of the coal purchase reform, NDRC ceased to coordinate annual coal purchase conference and will no longer make allocation of coal supply to power companies. The price and amount of coal supply will be determined based on the free negotiation between power companies, coal suppliers, and the railway authorities, which increases the uncertainty of the coal supply and the coal price and may adversely affect our operations.

Power plant development, acquisition and construction are a complex and time-consuming process, the delay of which may negatively affect the implementation of our growth strategy

We develop, construct, manage and operate large power plants; success depends upon our ability to secure all required PRC Government approvals, power sales and dispatch agreements, construction contracts, fuel supply and transportation and electricity transmission arrangements. Delay or failure to secure any of these could increase cost or delay or prevent commercial operation of the affected power plant. Although each of our power plants in operation and the power plants under construction received all required PRC Government

approvals in a timely fashion, no assurances can be given that all the future projects will receive approvals in a timely fashion or at all.

We have generally acted as, and intend to continue to act as, the general contractor for the construction of our power plants. As with any major infrastructure construction effort, the construction of a power plant involves many risks, including shortages of equipment, material and labor, labor disturbances, accidents, inclement weather, unforeseen engineering, environmental, geological, delays and other problems and unanticipated cost increases, any of which could give rise to delays or cost overruns. Construction delays may result in loss of revenues. Failure to complete construction according to specifications may result in liabilities, decrease power plant efficiency, increase operating costs and reduce earnings. Although the construction of each of our power plants was completed on or ahead of schedule and within its budget, no assurance can be given that construction of future projects will be completed on schedule or within budget.

In addition, from time to time, we may acquire existing power plants from HIPDC, Huaneng Group or other parties. The timing and the likelihood of the consummation of any such acquisitions will depend, among other things, on our ability to obtain financing and relevant PRC Government approvals and to negotiate relevant agreements for terms acceptable to us.

Substantial capital is required for investing in or acquiring new power plants and failure to obtain capital on reasonable commercial terms will increase our finance cost and cause delay in our expansion plans

An important component of our growth strategy is to develop new power plants and acquire operating power plants and related development rights from HIPDC, Huaneng Group or other companies on commercially reasonable terms. Our ability to arrange financing and the cost of such financing depend on numerous factors, including general economic and capital market conditions, credit availability from banks or other lenders, investor confidence in us and the continued success of our power plants. The People’s Bank of China has reduced RMB benchmark lending interest rates for five consecutive times from September to the end of 2008 to counteract the impact of international financial crisis on China’s economy. Chinese government has implemented appropriately liberated monetary policies during 2009, thus creating a favorable environment for the Company to control financing costs. Chinese government is expected to continue implementing the liberated monetary policies during 2010 to enhance the recovery of China’s economy from the international financial crisis. However, there is no assurance that the lending interest rates would not be raised in the future. Although we have historically been able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to us, there can be no assurance that financing for future power plant developments and acquisitions will be available on terms acceptable to us or, in the event of an equity offering, that such offering will not result in substantial dilution to existing shareholders.

Operation of power plants involves many risks and we may not have enough insurance to cover the economic losses if any of our power plants’ ordinary operation is interrupted

The operation of power plants involves many risks and hazards, including breakdown, failure or substandard performance of equipment, improper installation or operation of equipment, labor disturbances, natural disasters, environmental hazards and industrial accidents. The occurrence of material operational problems, including but not limited to the above events, may adversely affect the profitability of a power plant.

Our power plants in the PRC currently maintain insurance coverage that is typical in the electric power industry in the PRC and in amounts that we believe to be adequate. Such insurance, however, may not provide adequate coverage in certain circumstances. In particular, in accordance with industry practice in the PRC, our power plants in the PRC do not generally maintain business interruption insurance, or any of third party liability insurance other than that included in construction all risks insurance or erection all risks insurance to cover claims in respect of bodily injury or property or environment damage arising from accidents on our property or relating to our operation. Although each of our power plants has a good record of safe operation, there is no assurance that the afore-mentioned accidents will not occur in the future.

If the PRC government adopts new and stricter environmental laws and additional capital expenditure is required for complying with such laws, the operation of our power plants may be adversely affected and we may be required to make more investment in compliance with these environmental laws

Our power plants, like all coal-fired power plants, discharge pollutants into the environment. We are subject to central and local government environmental protection laws and regulations, which currently impose base-level discharge fees for various polluting substances and graduated schedules of fees for the discharge of waste substances. The amount of discharge fees shall be determined by the local environmental protection authority based on the periodic inspection of the type and volume of pollution discharges. In addition, such environmental protection laws and regulations also set up the goal for the overall control on the discharge

volume of key polluting substances. These laws and regulations impose fines for violations of laws, regulations or decrees and provide for the possible closure by the central government or local government of any power plant which fails to comply with orders requiring it to cease or cure certain activities causing environmental damage. In 2007, the PRC government issued additional policies on discharge of polluting substances and on desulphurization for coal-fired generating units. Certain provinces have raised the rates of waste disposal feessince 2008. Such increases in the discharge fees and in the environmental protection expenditure will lead to an increase of the operating costs of power plants like ours and may have adverse impact on our operating results.

We attach great importance to the environmental related matters of our existing power plants and our power plants under construction. We have implemented a system that is designed to control pollution caused by our power plants, including the establishment of an environmental protection office at each power plant, adoption of relevant control and evaluation procedures and the installation of certain pollution control equipment. We believe our environmental protection systems and facilities for the power plants are adequate for us to comply with applicable central government and local government environmental protection laws and regulations. The PRC Government may impose new, stricter laws and regulations which would require additional expenditure on environmental protection.

The PRC is a party to the Framework Convention on Climate Change ("Climate Change Convention"), which is intended to limit or capture emissions of "greenhouse" gases, such as carbon dioxide. Ceilings on such emissions could limit the production of electricity from fossil fuels, particularly coal, or increase the costs of such production. At present, ceilings on the emissions of "greenhouse" gases have not been assigned to developing countries under the Climate Change Convention. Therefore, the Climate Change Convention would not have a major effect on the Company in the short-term because the PRC as a developing country is not obligated to reduce its emissions of “greenhouse” gases at present, and the PRC government has not adopted relevant control standards and policies. If the PRC were to agree to such ceilings, or otherwise reduce its reliance on coal-fired power plants, our business prospects could be adversely affected.

Our business benefits from certain PRC government tax incentives. Expiration of, or changes to, the incentives could adversely affect our operating results

Prior to January 1, 2008, according to the relevant income tax law, foreign invested enterprises were, in general, subject to statutory income tax of 33% (30% enterprise income tax and 3% local income tax). If these enterprises are located in certain specified locations or cities, or are specifically approved by State Tax Bureau, a lower tax rate would be applied. Effective from January 1, 1999, in accordance with the practice notes on the PRC income tax laws applicable to foreign invested enterprises investing in energy and transportation infrastructure businesses, a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 15% (after the approval of State Tax Bureau) was applicable across the country. We applied this rule to all of our wholly owned operating power plants after obtaining the approval of State Tax Bureau. In addition, certain power plants were exempted from enterprise income tax for two years starting from the first profit-making year, after offsetting all tax losses carried forward from the previous years (at most of five years), followed by a 50% reduction of the applicable tax rate for the next three years. The statutory income tax was assessed individually based on each of their results of operations.

On March 16, 2007, the Enterprise Income Tax Law of PRC, or the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, was enacted, and became effective on January 1, 2008. The New Enterprise Income Tax Law imposes a uniform income tax rate of 25% for domestic enterprises and foreign invested enterprises. Therefore, our power plants subject to a 33% income tax rate prior to January 1, 2008 are subject to a lower tax rate of 25% starting on January 1, 2008. With regard to our power plants entitled to a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 15% prior to January 1, 2008, their effective tax rate is being gradually increased to 25% within a five-year transition period commencing on January 1, 2008. Accordingly, the effective tax rate of our wholly-owned power plants will increase over time. In addition, although our power plants currently entitled to tax exemption and reduction under the income tax laws and regulations that are effective prior to the the New Enterprise Income Tax Law will continue to enjoy such preferential treatments until the expiration of the same, newly established power plants will not be able to benefit from such tax incentives, unless they can satisfy specific qualifications, if any, provided by then effective laws and regulations on preferential tax treatment.

Pursuant to Guo Shui Han [2009] 33 document, starting from January 1, 2008, the Company and its branches calculate and pay income tax on a combined basis according to relevant tax laws and regulations. The original regulation specifying locations for power plants and branches of the Company to make enterprise income tax payments was abolished. The income tax of subsidiaries remains to be calculated individually based on their individual operating results.

The increase of applicable income tax rate and elimination of the preferential tax treatment with regard to certain of our power plants may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, our historical operating results may not be indicative of our operating results for future periods as a result of the expiration of the tax benefits currently available to us.

In addition, according to the New Enterprise Income Tax Law and its implementation rules, any dividends derived from the distributable profits accumulated from January 1, 2008 and are paid to the shareholders who are non-resident enterprises in the PRC will be subject to the PRC withholding tax at the rate of 10%. The withholding tax will be exempted if such dividends are derived from the distributable profits accumulated before January 1, 2008. Under a notice issued by the State Administration of Taxation of the PRC on November 6, 2008, we are required to withhold PRC income tax at the rate of 10% on annual dividends paid for 2008 and later years payable to our H Share investors who are non-resident enterprises.

If there is a devaluation of Renminbi or Singapore dollar, our debt burden will increase and the dividend return to our overseas shareholders may decrease

As a power producer operating mainly in China, we collect our revenues in Renminbi and have to convert Renminbi into foreign currencies to (i) repay some of our borrowings which are denominated in foreign currencies, (ii) purchase foreign made equipment and parts for repairs and maintenance, and (iii) pay out dividend to our overseas shareholders.

The value of the Renminbi against the US dollar and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China's political and economic conditions. The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including US dollars, has historically been set by the People's Bank of China. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the US dollar. Under the new policy, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy resulted initially in an approximately 2.0% appreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the US dollar. Since the adoption of this new policy, the value of Renminbi against the US dollar has fluctuated on a daily basis within narrow ranges, but overall has further strengthened against the US dollar. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to further liberalize its currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the US dollar. However, there is no assurance that there will not be a devaluation of Renminbi in the future. If there is such devaluation, our debt servicing cost will increase and the return to our overseas investors may decrease.

Our revenues from SinoSing Power and its subsidiary, Tuas Power Ltd. (“Tuas Power”), are collected in Singapore dollar. However, commencing from 2008, the operation results of SinoSing Power and its subsidiary are consolidated into our financial statements, which use Renminbi as the functional currency and presentation currency. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations between Renminbi and Singapore dollar. Appreciation of Renminbi against Singapore dollar may cause a foreign exchange loss upon conversion of SinoSing Power and its subsidiary’s operating results denominated in Singapore dollar into Renminbi, which may have adverse impact on our operation results.

We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

Risks relating to the PRC

China's economic, political and social conditions as well as government policies could significantly affect our business

As of December 31, 2009, the majority of our business, assets and operations are located in China. The economy of China differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including government involvement, level of development, economy growth rate, control of foreign exchange, and allocation of resources.

The economy of China has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although the majority of productive assets in China are still owned by the PRC government at various levels, in recent years the PRC government has implemented economic reform measures emphasizing utilization of market forces in the development of the economy of China and a high level of management autonomy. Some of these measures will benefit the overall economy of China, but may have a negative effect on us. For example, our operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in taxation, changes in power tariff for our power plants, changes in the usage and costs of State controlled transportation services, and changes in State policies affecting the power industry.

Interpretation of PRC laws and regulations involves significant uncertainties

The PRC legal system is based on written statutes and their interpretation by the Supreme People's Court. Prior court decisions may be cited for reference but have limited value as precedents. Since 1979, the PRC government has been developing a comprehensive system of commercial laws, and considerable progress has been made in introducing laws and regulations dealing with economic matters such as foreign investment, corporate organization and governance, commerce, taxation and trade. However, because these laws and regulations are relatively new, and because of the limited volume of published cases and judicial interpretation and their lack of force as precedents, interpretation and enforcement of these laws and regulations involve significant uncertainties. In addition, as the PRC legal system develops, we cannot assure that changes in such laws and regulations, and their interpretation or their enforcement will not have a material adverse effect on our business operations.

We are subject to certain PRC regulations governing PRC companies that are listed overseas. These regulations contain certain provisions that are required to be included in the articles of association of these PRC companies and are intended to regulate the internal affairs of these companies. The PRC Company Law and these regulations, in general, and the provisions for protection of shareholders' rights and access to information, in particular, are less developed than those applicable to companies incorporated in Hong Kong, the US, the UK and other developed countries or regions. Such limited investor protections are compensated for, to a certain extent, by the Mandatory Provisions for the Articles of Association of Companies to be Listed Overseas and certain additional requirements that are imposed by the Listing Rules of The Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a view to reduce the magnitude of differences between the Hong Kong Company Law and PRC Company Law. The articles of association of all PRC companies listed in Hong Kong must incorporate such Mandatory Provisions and these additional requirements. Although our Articles of Association have incorporated such provisions and requirements, there can be no assurance that our shareholders will enjoy protections to which they may be entitled in other jurisdictions.

Risks relating to our operations in Singapore

Tuas Power Ltd. (“Tuas Power”), one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, operates in Singapore. Tuas Power is a power generation company incorporated in Singapore which is engaged in the business of generation, wholesale and retail of power. With two 600 MW oil-fired steam generating units and four 367.5 MW gas-fired combined cycle generating units, Tuas Power has a total generating capacity of 2,670 MW. The total assets and revenue of Tuas Power represented approximately 13% and 14%, respectively, of our total assets and revenue as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.

The operations of Tuas Power are subject to a number of risks, including, among others, risks relating to electricity pricing, dispatching, fuel supply, project development, capital expenditure, environmental regulations, government policies, and Singapore’s economic, political and social conditions. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect the business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations of Tuas Power.

Decrease in market demand and intensified competition may adversely affect Tuas Power’s business and results of operations.

Power demand in Singapore is dependent upon the economic development of Singapore. Due to the impact of the global financial crisis and economic downturn, Singapore’s economy had a negative growth in 2009, and the power demand had a moderate decrease in 2009. Power demand is expected to see a moderate growth in 2010 on the back of emerging global recovery. Significant and sustained adverse changes in Singapore’s economy and a material reduction in power demand in Singapore may adversely affect Tuas Power’s business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

The Singapore electricity industry had traditionally been vertically integrated and owned by the government. Since 1995, much progress has been made to liberalize the electricity industry for greater

efficiency and innovation. Steps taken to liberalize the power industry include corporatization of the Public Utilities Board (“PUB”) in 1995, establishment of Singapore Electricity Pool (“SEP”) in 1998, formation of Energy Market Authority (“EMA”) in 2001, and the evolvement of the SEP into the New Electricity Market of Singapore (“NEMS”) in 2003, and respective divestment of three major generating companies (Tuas Power, PowerSenoko, PowerSeraya) by Temasek Holdings in 2008 and 2009. The liberalization of Singapore’s power market and the further deregulation of its power industry have resulted in more intense competition among the power generating companies in Singapore. Tuas Power is one of the three largest power generating companies in Singapore. If Tuas Power is unable to compete successfully against other power generating companies in Singapore, its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Decrease in the quantity of generating capacity covered by Tuas Power’s vesting contracts may further expose Tuas Power to electricity price volatility and adversely affect its business and results of operations.

Tuas Power derives its revenue mainly from sale of electricity to the National Electricity Market of Singapore (the “NEMS”) through a bidding process and vesting contracts under which a significant portion of power sales is predetermined by EMA. Vesting contracts are a form of bilateral contract imposed/vested on the major power generating companies in Singapore. The vesting contract regime in Singapore is targeted at mitigation of market power in the wholesale electricity spot market. The regime achieves this objective by assigning a quantity of vesting contracts to generating companies, thereby limiting their incentives to exercise whatever level of market power they may possess. Vesting contract price is set by the Energy Market Authority (the “EMA”), which is Singapore’s power market regulator. It is set at the long run marginal cost of the most efficient base-loaded technology plant employed in Singapore and is reviewed every two years. On a quarterly basis, the EMA allows for the vesting contract price to be adjusted to account for inflation and changes in fuel prices. Such mechanism helps protect the profit margins of the power generating companies in the Singapore market such as Tuas Power to a large degree. The quantity of each power generation company’s capacity reserved for vesting contracts depends on the proportion of such power generation company’s capacity to total capacity in the NEMS system. The contract quantity and price are recalculated every three months. For the period from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009, power sold through vesting contracts represented approximately 60% of Tuas Power's total power sold.

As an important governmental policy in Singapore’s power market, vesting contracts may continue as long as the EMA considers that high market concentration persists and that power generating companies may potentially exercise their market power. Although it is expected that it will take at least eight to ten years for market concentration to be substantially diluted, the Singapore government recently planned to decrease the quantities of capacity covered by vesting contracts. The timetable and details for such plan remain uncertain and Tuas Power is actively communicating with the EMA and requesting a relatively stable policy. Any significant decrease in the quantity of capacity covered by Tuas Power’s vesting contracts will further expose Tuas Power to electricity price volatility and may have an adverse impact on its business and results of operations.

The fuel cost of Tuas Power is exposed to the volatility of international fuel price and foreign currency risk.

The fuel for Tuas Power consists of oil and gas. Since the procurement price of gas is closely linked to oil price, the fuel cost of Tuas Power is exposed to the volatility of international oil price. In addition, the commitments for the purchase of fuel are denominated in US dollars, which further exposes Tuas Power to foreign currency risk. The increase in fuel price and the appreciation of US dollars against Singapore dollar would increase the fuel cost of Tuas Power and adversely affects its results of operations.

ITEM 4

Information on the Company

A.	History and development of the Company

Our legal and commercial name is Huaneng Power International, Inc. Our head office is at West Wing, Building C, Tianyin Mansion, 2C, Fuxingmennan Street, Beijing, People's Republic of China and our telephone number is (8610) 66491999. We were established in June 1994 as a company limited by shares organized under the laws of the People's Republic of China.

On April 19, 2006, we carried out the reform to convert all non-tradable domestic shares to tradable domestic shares. According to the reform plan, Huaneng Group and HIPDC offered three shares to each holder of A Shares for every ten shares held by them. The total number of shares offered in connection with the reform was 150,000,000 shares. As a result, all non-tradable domestic shares were permitted to be listed on stock exchange for trading with certain selling restrictions. The period of selling restrictions is sixty months for the non-tradable shares held by Huaneng Group and HIPDC, and one year for most non-tradable shares held by

others starting from April 19, 2006. As of March 31, 2010, approximately 6.122 billion of our shares, including our shares directly held by Huaneng Group and HIPDC, remained subject to selling restrictions. The reform did not affect the rights of shareholders of our overseas listed foreign shares.

On March 25, 2008, we signed a letter of intent with Huaneng Group on the transfer of the equity of SinoSing Power, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huaneng Group that was established to acquire 100% equity interest in Tuas Power Ltd. from Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited. Huaneng Group’s equity investment in SinoSing Power is US$985 million. On April 29, 2008, we entered into a transfer agreement with Huaneng Group in this regard, pursuant to which we should pay the consideration in full, of which US$788 million settled by assignment of debts and the remaining balance of approximately RMB1.572 billion paid in cash in Renminbi. On June 27, 2008, we completed the acquisition of SinoSing Power. Tuas Power Ltd., with a total installed capacity of 2,670MW, became one of our indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries.

As resolved at the shareholders’ meeting held on May 13, 2008, our company has been given a mandate to issue within the PRC short-term debentures of a principal amount not exceeding RMB10 billion within 12 months from the date on which the shareholders’ approval was obtained. On July 25, 2008, we issued short-term RMB denominated debentures in the amount of RMB5 billion with a maturity period of 365 days, a unit face value of RMB100 and an interest rate of 4.83%. On February 24, 2009, we issued the second tranche of the short-term debenture in the amount of RMB5 billion, with a maturity period of 365 days, a unit face value of RMB100 and an interest rate of 1.88%. These two tranches of short-term debentures were repaid in July 2009 and February 2010, respectively.

As resolved at the extraordinary general meeting held on December 23, 2008, our company has been given a mandate to issue within the PRC medium-term notes of a principal amount not exceeding RMB10 billion within 12 months from the date on which the shareholder’s approval was obtained. On May 14, 2009, we issued medium-term RMB denominated notes in the amount of RMB4 billion, with a maturity period of 5 years, a unit face value of RMB100 and an interest rate of 3.72%.

As resolved at the 2008 annual general meeting held on June 18, 2009, our company has been given a mandate to issue within the PRC short-term debentures of a principal amount not exceeding RMB10 billion within 12 months from the date on which the shareholder’s approval was obtained. On September 9, 2009, we issued the first tranche of the short-term RMB denominated debenture in the amount of RMB5 billion with a maturity period of 270 days, a unit face value of RMB100 and an interest rate of 2.32%. On March 23, 2010, we issued the second tranche of the short-term debenture in the amount of RMB5 billion, with a maturity period of 270 days, a unit face value of RMB100 and an interest rate of 2.55%.

On March 31, 2009, we entered into a transfer agreement with Huaneng New Energy Industrial Holding Limited Company (“Huaneng New Energy”) , a subsidiary of Huaneng Group, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire from Huaneng New Energy its 65% equity interest in Huaneng Qidong Wind Power Generation Co., Ltd. (“Qidong Wind Power”) for a consideration of RMB103 million. Phase I of Qidong Wind Power has a generating capacity of 91.5 MW and commenced operations in March 2009. In September 2009, we completed the acquisition of 65% equity interest in Qidong Wind Power.

On April 21, 2009, we entered into a transfer agreement with Huaneng Group, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the 55% equity interest in Tianjin Huaneng Yangliuqing Co-generation Limited Liability Company held by Huaneng Group for a consideration of RMB1.076 billion. On the same day, we entered into a transfer agreement with HIPDC, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire the 41% equity interest in Huaneng Beijing Co-generation Limited Liability Company held by HIPDC for a consideration of RMB1.272 billion. In September 2009, we completed the acquisition of 55% equity interest in Tianjin Huaneng Yangliuqing Co-generation Limited Liability Company and 41% equity interest in Huaneng Beijing Co-generation Limited Liability Company. We exercise effective control over Huaneng Beijing Co-generation Limited Liability Company. As a result of these acquisitions, our company's generation capacity is increased by 1,006MW on an equity basis.

On November 11, 2009, Tuas Power commenced the construction of Tembusu multi-utilities complex at Jurong Island, Singapore. The complex consists of a co-generation plant, a desalination plant and a wastewater treatment facility. The cogeneration plant will have three biomass clean coal cogeneration units which use circulating fluidized bed technology and three gas fired boilers, with a capacity to supply up to 1000 t/h of steam and a power generation capacity of 165 MW. The project has a total investment of SGD2 billion and is expect to be completed in two phases with the co-generation plant to commence commercial operation in 2012.

On December 31, 2009, we entered into an equity interest transfer contract with Shandong Electric Power Corporation (“Shandong Power”) and Shandong Luneng Development Group Company Limited (“Luneng Development”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire 100% equity interest in each of Yunnan Diandong Energy Limited Company, Yunnan Diandong Yuwang Energy Limited Company, Shandong Zhanhua Co-generation Limited Company, Jilin Luneng Biological Power Generation Limited Company and Qingdao Luneng Jiaonan Port Limited Company, 60.25% equity interest in Fujian Luoyuanwan Luneng Harbour Limited Liability Company, 58.3% equity interest in Fuzhou Port Luoyuanwan Pier Limited Liability Company, 73.46% equity interest in Luoyuan Luneng Ludao Pier Limited Liability Company, and 53% equity interest in Luneng Sea Transportation Limited Company, as well as the preliminary stage project achievements of 4x660MW coal-fired project of Rizhao Lanshan and 2x660MW coal-fired project of Luoyuanwan from Shandong Power, and 39.75% equity interest in Fujian Luoyuanwan Luneng Harbour Limited Liability Company from Luneng Development, for an aggregate consideration of RMB8.625 billion. As of April 15, 2010, the proposed transaction was still subject to approvals by relevant governmental authorities.

As resolved at the extraordinary general meeting and the H Share class meeting held on March 16, 2010, respectively, we would issue (i) no more than 1,200 million new A Shares by way of placement to no more than 10 designated investors including Huaneng Group, which would subscribe for no more than 400 million new A Shares, and (ii) no more than 400 million new H Shares to China Hua Neng Hong Kong Company Limited (“Hua Neng HK”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huaneng Group. The subscription price for new A Shares shall be no less than RMB7.13 per share and will be determined on the book-building basis after obtaining the approvals for the new issue. The subscription price for new H Shares shall be HK$4.97 per share. The proposed issue of new A Shares and H Shares has been approved by the State Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, and is subject to approvals by relevant governmental authorities in accordance with applicable PRC laws and regulations.

See “Item 5 Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Liquidity and Cash Resources” for a description of our principal capital expenditures since the beginning of the last three financial years.

B.	Business overview

We are one of the China's largest independent power producers. As of March 31, 2010, we had controlling generating capacity of 49,443MW, and a total generating capacity of 45,912MW on an equity basis.

Operations in China

We are engaged in developing, constructing, operating and managing power plants throughout China. Our domestic power plants are located in 17 provinces, provincial-level municipalities and autonomous regions. We also have a wholly-owned power plant in Singapore.

In 2009, the Chinese government has taken a series of measures including economic stimulus packages and various monetary and fiscal policies, which enabled China’s macro economy to recover gradually from the adverse impact of the international financial crisis. Recovery of downstream industries continued to contribute to the growing power demand. Meanwhile, coal price in the domestic market declined from the previous year, indicating that the policy guidance in respect of electricity tariff adjustment implemented by the NDRC has gradually effected on the macro-economy. The macro economic conditions of China have provided opportunities for the development of China’s power industry and the growth of power generating companies. In response to the international financial crisis and complicated operating conditions, our management and all employees worked together and made every effort to actively deal with the challenges. We achieved the target of turning a loss into a gain and made new progress in the areas of safe production, operation management, energy saving, environmental protection, project development, capital operation and corporate governance. With respect to our operations in Singapore, Tuas Power achieved remarkable annual operating result in 2009, thus making contribution to our profit growth.

In the year of 2009, new generating units with a total installed capacity of 5,832 MW were put into commercial operations, , including our Huade Wind Power Plant, which has an installed capacity of 49.5 MW. In 2009, our total domestic power generation from all operating power plants on a consolidated basis amounted to 203.520 billion kWh, representing a 10.23% increase as compared to the same period of the previous year. The annual average utilization hours of our coal-fired generating units reached 5,220 hours, representing 381 hours above the average rate of the coal-fired generating units in China. Our fuel cost per unit of power sold by coal-fired power plants decreased by 13.73% to RMB214.53 per MWh.

We believe our significant capability in the development and construction of power projects, as exemplified in the completion of our projects under construction ahead of schedule, and our experience gained

in the successful acquisitions of power assets in recent years will enable us to take full advantage of the opportunities presented in China's power market and made available to us through our relationship with HIPDC and Huaneng Group.

With respect to the acquisition or development of any project, we will consider, among other factors, changes in power market conditions, and adhere to prudent commercial principles in the evaluation of the feasibility of the project. In addition to business development strategies, we will continue to work on our profit enhancement through relentlessly strengthening cost control, especially in respect of fuel costs and construction costs, so as to hedge against fluctuations in fuel price and increase competitiveness in the power market.

Operations in Singapore

In 2008, we acquired Tuas Power which is one of the three largest power generating companies in Singapore and had a total generating capacity of 2,670 MW as of December 31, 2009. We have consolidated Tuas Power’s results of operations since March 2008. In 2009, the power generated by Tuas Power in Singapore accounted for 24.30% of the total power generated in Singapore, maintaining a similar level from 2008.

Development of power plants

The process of identifying potential sites for power plants, obtaining government approvals, completing construction and commencing commercial operations is usually lengthy. However, because of our significant experience in developing and constructing power plants, we have been able to identify promising power plant projects and to obtain all required PRC Government approvals in a timely manner.

Opportunity identification and feasibility study

We initially identify an area in which additional electric power is needed by determining its existing installed capacity and projected demand for electric power. The initial assessment of a proposed power plant involves a preliminary feasibility study. The feasibility study examines the proposed power plant's land use requirements, access to a power grid, fuel supply arrangements, availability of water, local requirements for permits and licenses and the ability of potential customers to afford the proposed power tariff. To determine projected demand, factors such as economic growth, population growth and industrial expansion are used. To gauge the expected supply of electricity, the capacities of existing plants and plants under construction or development are studied.

Approval process

Prior to July 2004, any project proposal and supporting documents for new power plants must first be submitted to the NDRC for approval and then be submitted to the State Council. In July 2004, the State Council of the PRC reformed the fixed asset investment regulatory system in China. Under the new system, new projects in the electric power industry that do not use government funds will no longer be subject to the examination and approval procedure. Instead, they will only be subject to a confirmation and registration process. Coal-fired projects will be subject to confirmation by the NDRC. Wind power projects with installed capacity exceeding 50 MW will be subject to confirmation and registration with the relevant department of the central government while wind power project with installed capacity lower than 50 MW will be subject to confirmation and relevant local government departments. Wind power projects confirmed by local government departments at provincial level shall also be filed with the NDRC and China National Energy Administration.

Joint venture power projects are subject to additional governmental approvals. Approval by Ministry of Commerce is also required when foreign investment is involved.

In January 2007, the Office of the National Energy Leading Group and the NDRC with the approval of the State Council jointly issued the opinions to accelerate shutdowns of small coal-fired generating units. Power generating companies are encouraged to close small coal-fired generating units and replace them with newly built large units, and their new projects may be granted priority in the confirmation and registration process on the basis of their proactive implementation of the opinions.

Permits and contracts

In developing a new power plant, we and third parties are required to obtain permits before commencement of the project. Such permits include operating licenses and similar approvals related to plant site, land use, construction, and the environment. To encourage the cooperation and support of the local

governments of the localities of the power plants, it has been and will be our policy to seek investment in such power plants by the relevant local governments.

Power plant construction

We have generally acted as the general contractor for the construction of our power plants. Equipment procurement and installation, site preparation and civil works are subcontracted to domestic and foreign subcontractors through a competitive bidding process. All of our power plants were completed on or ahead of schedule, enabling certain units to enter service and begin generating income earlier than the estimated in-service date.

Import duties

China's general import-tariff level has been declining since China acceded to the WTO in November 2001. China's average import-tariff rate was reduced annually from 15.3% in 2001 to 9.9% in 2005 and 2006. Starting from January 1, 2007, the average import-tariff rate was further reduced to 9.8%. In general, China's accession to WTO will bring its import-tariff to a level consistent with the average level of all other WTO members.

Under the relevant PRC laws and regulations, foreign invested enterprises, or “FIE”, will be entitled to import duty exemption in respect of self-use imported equipment and raw materials for investment projects that fall into the encouraged category under the Catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries (the “Catalogue”). Pursuant to the current Catalogue effective on December 1, 2007, construction and operation of power stations using integrated gasification combined cycle, circulating fluidized bed with a generating capacity of 300MW or above, pressurized fluided bed combustor with a generating capacity of 100MW or above and other clean combustion technologies belong to the category of encouraged projects. Therefore, our construction projects that meet the conditions for encouraged projects under the current catalogue are eligible for import-duty exemption for imported generating units.

In addition, pursuant to the Interim Rules to Promote Structural Adjustment of Industries and Guidance Catalogue for Structural Adjustment of Industries issued in December 2005, our power plants construction projects with independent legal person status belong to an encouraged category of investments, and therefore are eligible for exemption from import duty and related value-added tax with regard to the imported equipments used in such projects, subject to the approval of the relevant government authorities.

Plant start-up and operation

We have historically operated and intend to continue to operate our power plants. Our power plants have established management structures based on modern management techniques. We select the superintendent for a new power plant from the senior management of our operating plants early in the construction phase of the new plant, invest in the training of operational personnel, adopt various rational management techniques and structure its plant bonus program to reward efficient and cost-effective operation of the plant in order to ensure the safety, stability and high level of availability of each power plant. Our senior management meets several times a year with the superintendents of the power plants as a group, fostering a team approach to operations, and conducts annual plant performance reviews with the appropriate superintendent, during which opportunities to enhance the power plant's performance and profitability are evaluated.

After a coal-fired generating unit is constructed, the contractor tests its installation and systems. Following such tests, the contractor puts the unit through a continuous 168-hour trial run at full load. After successfully passing the continuous 168-hour test and obtaining approval from the local governments, the unit may commence its commercial operation. Trial run of wind power project consists of two phases: (i) trial run of single wind power generating unit and (ii) trial run of the entire wind power project as a whole. After successfully passing the trial run, the wind power project may commence its commercial operation.

Development of Power Plants in Singapore

The Singapore electricity industry had traditionally been vertically integrated and owned by the government. Since 1995, steps has been taken to liberalize the power industry. The EMA is a statutory body responsible for the economic, technical and competition regulation of the gas and electricity industry in Singapore. In carrying out its functions as the regulator of the power sector, EMA is empowered under the Electricity Act to issue and enforce licences, codes of practices and performance standards. Energy Market Company Pte Ltd. (the “EMC”), a subsidiary of the EMA, is the market company licensed to operate the wholesale market, or the NEMS.

In Singapore, a company is required to hold a generation license issued by the EMA if it generates electricity by means of one or more generating units with capacity of 10 MW or above. If connected to the power grid, the generating unit(s) must be registered with the EMC and will have to compete with other power generating companies to secure dispatch in the NEMS.

To ensure adequate electricity supply in Singapore, the EMA targets a minimum reserve margin (the excess of generating capacity over peak electricity demand) of 30% based on a loss of load probability (a measure of the probability that a system demand will exceed capacity during a given period, often expressed as the estimated number of days over a year) of three days per year. The 30% required reserve margin is to cater for scheduled maintenance as well as forced outages of generating units in the system. If the reserve margin falls below the required 30% due to demand growth and/or plant retirements, it would be an indication that new generation investments in generation units are needed to maintain system security.

The EMA intends to keep the increase and decrease in generating capacity to be commercially driven as far as practicable. As a precaution against the risk of insufficient generating capacity in the system to maintain system security, the EMA has planned to put in place a capacity assurance scheme to incentivize new generation planting in case new generating capacity that is required to maintain system security is not forthcoming from the market.

By most measures of market power, the Singapore market is highly concentrated as the three largest power generating companies account for approximately 90% of total power capacity. Although such high market concentration is expected to decrease over time, it is expected to remain as a concern for at least the next decade. Therefore, it is unlikely that the EMA will allow the three largest power generating companies to increase their licensed capacity and these generating companies will have to rely on the optimization of their existing capacity within license cap to improve efficiency and forestall new entry.

Pricing policy

Prior to April 2001, the on-grid tariffs for our planned output were designed to enable us to recover all operating and debt servicing costs and to earn a fixed rate of return. Since April 2001, however, the PRC government has started to gradually implement a new on-grid tariff-setting mechanism based on the operating terms of power plants as well as the average costs of comparable power plants.

On July 3, 2003, the State Council approved the tariff reform plan and made it clear that the long-term objective of the reform is to establish a standardized and transparent tariff-setting mechanism.

Pursuant to the NDRC circular issued in June 2004, on-grid tariffs for newly built power generating units commencing operation from June 2004 should be set on the basis of the average cost of comparable units adding tax and reasonable return in the regional grid. It provides challenges and incentives for power generating companies to control costs for building new generating units.

On March 28, 2005, the NDRC issued the Interim Measures on Regulation of On-grid Tariff, the Interim Measures on Regulation of Transmission and Distribution Tariff, and the Interim Measures on Regulation of End-user Tariff, or collectively the Interim Measures, to provide guidance for the reform of tariff-setting mechanism in the transition period. Under the Interim Measures, tariff is classified into on-grid tariff, transmission and distribution tariff and end-user tariff. Transmission and distribution tariff will be instituted by the government. End-user tariff will be based on on-grid tariff and transmission and distribution tariff. The government is responsible to regulate and supervise power tariffs in light of the principles of efficiency, incentives, and investment encouragement and taking into consideration of affordability.

In December 2004, the NDRC proposed and the State Council approved to establish a linkage mechanism between coal and power prices, pursuant to which, the NDRC may adjust power tariffs if the change of the average coal price reaches 5% within a period of six months compared with the preceding same period. The change in a period, if less than 5%, will be carried forward to the future periods until the accumulated amounts reach 5%. With a target to encourage power generating companies to reduce cost and improve efficiency, only around 70% of coal price increases will be allowed to pass to end-users through an increase of power tariffs, and power generating companies will bear the remaining 30%. In May 2005, the NDRC activated the coal-electricity price linkage mechanism for the first time to increase on-grid tariffs and end-user tariffs in the northeastern region, central region, eastern region, northwestern region and southern region. We accordingly increased the on-grid tariffs of our power plants in the northeastern region, central region, eastern region and northwestern region on May 1, 2005 and in the southern region on July 15, 2005. In June 2006, the coal-electricity price linkage mechanism was reactivated by the NDRC to increase on-grid tariffs and end-user tariffs

in the northeastern region, central region, eastern region, northwestern region and southern region. We accordingly increased the on-grid tariffs of most of our power plants in the same regions on June 30, 2006.

In May 2007, NDRC and the State Environment Protection Administration jointly promulgated Interim Administrative Measures on Electricity Price of Coal-fired Generating Units installed with Desulphurization Facilities and the Operations of Such Facilities, which provided that a premium for desulphurization may be charged on the price of the electricity generated by generating units installed with desulphurization facilities on and from the date on which such desulphurization facilities are tested and accepted by relevant environment protection regulator. Such pricing policy is also applicable to the old generating units which are installed with desulphurization facilities. The new measures are more stringent on the regulation of the coal-fired power plants with desulphurization facilities, setting forth the categories under which the price including a desulphurization premium will be offset or otherwise penalized based on the ratio of utilization of the relevant desulphurization facilities on annual basis. As of December 31, 2009, all of our existing coal-fired generating units have installed and operated the desulphurization facilities and all the generating units will meet the standards for environmental protection.

In June 2008, NDRC issued Notice of Raising the Power Tariff, pursuant to which, the power tariff in provincial grids nationwide was increased by an average of RMB0.025 per kWh. In August 2008, NDRC issued Notice of Raising the On-grid Tariffs of the Thermal Power Plants, pursuant to which, the on-grid tariff of thermal power plants, including plants fueled by coal, oil, gas and co-generation, was increased by an average of RMB0.02 per kWh.

On February 25, 2009, NDRC, SERC and China National Energy Administration jointly promulgated the Notice regarding Cleaning up the Concessional Tariff Scheme, pursuant to which, (i) the concessional tariff scheme at local level is banned, and (ii) certain measures, such as direct purchase by large end-users and adopting peak and off-peak power pricing policy, will be carried out to reduce enterprises’ power cost. In addition, the notice emphasizes the supervision and inspection over the setting of power tariff. On October 11, 2009, in order to promote a fair market condition and the optimization of electric power resources, NDRC, SERC and China National Energy Administration jointly promulgated the Circular on Regulating the Administration of Electric Power Transaction Tariff to regulate the tariff setting mechanism for the on-grid tariff, transmission and distribution tariff and end-user tariff and clean up the local preferential power tariffs provided to high energy consumption companies.

Pursuant to a notice issued by NDRC, with effect from November 20, 2009, certain adjustments on the on-grids tariffs have been made in various regions of China in order to resolve the inconsistencies in tariffs, rationalize the tariff structure and promote the development of renewable energy.

In terms of power tariff for wind power projects, pursuant to the applicable policies and regulations, the PRC is categorized into four wind resource zones, and the onshore wind power projects approved after August 1, 2009 and in the same zone are subject to the same standard on-grid tariff applicable to that zone. In addition, the power grid companies are generally required to purchase all of the electricity generated by wind power generating units.

Pricing Policy in Singapore

All licensed power plants in Singapore sell their plant output into the NEMS under a half-hourly competitive bidding process, during which a clearing price is determined based on the projected system demand. All successful bids/power plants that are cleared in each half hour will be dispatched automatically by control signals from the Power System Operator, a division of the EMA, and in turn will receive the cleared price as determined earlier. The cleared price paid to the power plants is the nodal price at their point of injection, and the Market Clearing Engine, the computer software that creates dispatch schedules and determines market clearing prices, automatically produces a different price at each node on the network.

As there is no certainty in the price or the dispatch levels for any power plants, operators of power plants may enter into short or long-term financial arrangements with other counterparties or their own subsidiary company involved in the electricity retail market (to end consumers of electricity) to secure stability in their revenue stream and manage the commercial risks associated with operations in a competitive market.

In addition, the major power generating companies, including Tuas Power, are obliged to hold vesting contracts. Vesting contracts are a form of bilateral contract imposed/vested on the generating companies who had been licensed by the EMA before the start of the NEMS. Market Support Services Licensee is the counterparty to all of the vesting contracts, and the vesting contracts are settled between the parties through the EMC’s settlement system. The quantity of each power generation company’s capacity covered by vesting

contracts depends on the proportion of its capacity to total capacity in the NEMS system. Vesting contract price is set by the EMA at the long run marginal cost and is adjusted by the EMA on a periodic basis for changes in the long run marginal cost and on a quarterly basis for inflation and changes in fuel prices. Such mechanism helps protect the profit margins of the power generating companies in the Singapore market to a large degree. The contract quantity and price are currently recalculated every three months.

The electricity that retailers on-sell to contestable consumers (currently defined as customers with average monthly usage of 10,000kWh and above) has to be purchased from the NEMS. The retailers pay for their electricity purchases at the Uniform Singapore Energy Price, which is a weighted average of nodal prices and is determined on a half-hourly basis in the NEMS.

Power sales

Each of our power plants has entered into a written agreement with the local grid companies for the sales of its power output. Generally, the agreement has a fixed term of one year and provides that the annual utilization hours of the power plant will be determined with reference to the average annual utilization hours of the similar generating units connected to the same grid.

In 2003, SERC and the State Administration of Commerce and Industry jointly promulgated a model contract form (the "Model Contract Form") for use by power grid companies and power generating companies in connection with electricity sale and purchase transactions. The Model Contract Form contains provisions on the parties' rights and obligations, amount of electricity subject to purchase, payment method and liabilities for breach of contract, etc. We believe that the publication of the Model Contract Form has facilitated the negotiation and execution of electricity purchase contracts between power grid companies and power generating companies in a fair, transparent and efficient manner. In 2009, all of the agreements entered into between our power plants and the local grid companies were based on the Model Contract Form.

Power sales through competitive bidding are one of the targets of power market reform. The PRC government started in 1999 to experiment with a program to effect power sales through competitive bidding in some provinces, and has been gradually expanding the program with a view to creating a market-oriented electric power industry. Pursuant to the opinions regarding promotion of electric power system reform in the period of “The Eleventh Five-Year Plan” adopted by the State Council in November 2006, the SERC will speed up the reform to establish an electric power market suitable to China’s circumstances. Furthermore, the PRC government started in 2009 to experiment with a program for direct power purchase by large power end-users, and has promulgated relevant rules governing the price and method of direct power purchase transaction as well as the market entrance and exit mechanism. In accordance with the above policies, we are conducting research on the program for direct power purchase by large power end-users. However, since the detailed implementation rules governing the program at local level are different among the regions in terms of market entrance condition, scope of experiment, and price and method of direct power purchase, these rules are subject to approvals by relevant central governmental authorities. As of December 31, 2009, the direct power purchase by large power end-users has not been implemented in the regions in which we operate our power plants.

Establishing regional power markets and increasing the use of the bidding method are the general trend in China's power market reform, which is conducive to creating a competition environment that is fair, transparent and equitable. Power sales through bidding process has been experimented in the power market in the Northeastern region and Eastern region. However, as of March 31, 2010, the use of the bidding method in power sales has not been resumed yet. We believe that this reform will benefit us in the long-term. We will adopt different bidding strategies and fully take advantage of the large scales of our power plants in accordance with the specific circumstances of different power grids and different power plants, thereby maximizing our profits in the power bidding process. We also believe that our large and highly efficient generating units are competitive in a more open, orderly and fair market.

In 2008, with the purpose of improving energy usage efficiency, the government implemented an electricity optimized-dispatch policy in Henan Province, Sichuan Province, Jiangsu Province, Guangdong Province and Guizhou Province on a pilot basis, as a result of which, the utilization hours of low energy consumption and low pollution generating units have been improved. We believe that our large generating units with high efficiency and low emission in Henan, Jiangsu and Guangdong provinces are competitive in the market.

The following table sets forth the average power tariff (RMB/MWh) of electric power sold by our power plants in China, for each of the five years ended December 31, 2009 and the approved power tariff for 2010.

Power sales in Singapore

As of December 31, 2009, the total licensed capacity in commercial operation in Singapore was 2,670 MW. In 2009, the peak demand for electricity was 5,876 MW and the annual average load was 4,603 MW. The power market in Singapore is competitive, and power generating companies sell their power output through bidding process and vesting contracts. As of December 31, 2009, power sold through vesting contracts presented approximately 55% of the total power sold by the power generating companies.

Tuas Power is required to sell a substantial portion of its electric power output to the NEMS through a competitive bidding process. The gas-fired combined cycle units of Tuas Power enjoy advantages in the competitive biddings of the pool market given their relatively low cost and high efficiency. Tuas Power in turn receives the price cleared in the market for its output. The uncertainty of the revenue associated the sale of electricity in the NEMS is effectively hedged via vesting contracts and direct retail sales which is carried out through a Tuas Power’s subsidiary. According to EMA, for each of the past five years ended December 31, 2009, the average annual pool price per MWh of the NEMS was S$109.90, S$132.42, S$124.57, S$162.53, and S$109.90, respectively. Tuas Power sells all its electricity output into the NEMS, but the actual settlement tariffs deviate from the pool prices due to the effect of vesting contracts and retail sales. For the period from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2009, power sold through vesting contracts and retail sales represented approximately 88% of Tuas Power's total power sold for the same period.

Fuel supply arrangements

In 2009, the majority of our power plants were fueled by coal, gas or oil.

Coal

Most of the coal supply for our coal-fired power plants is obtained from numerous coal producers in Shanxi Province.

In recent years, as part of its efforts to make a transition from a comprehensive planned economy to a "socialist market economy", the PRC has experimented with a variety of methods of setting coal prices. In 1996, the government allowed coal prices to fluctuate within a range around a reference price for coal allocated under the State Plan to be used in electricity generation, and set maximum allowable prices in various coal-producing areas for coal used in electricity generation.

From 2002 to 2003, there was no longer official State Plan for coal supplies, but the government continued to coordinate the coal prices at the annual national coal purchase conferences attended by, among others, representatives of each of power companies, coal suppliers, and the railway authorities and sponsored

and coordinated by NDRC. Power companies obtain allocations for coal on a plant-by-plant basis. Each of the power plants then signs supply contracts with the coal suppliers, and with the railway and shipping companies for the amount of coal and transportation allocated to them. From 2004 to 2008, although such annual coal purchase conferences continue to be held, only key contracts are negotiated and executed at such conferences. Starting from 2009, in furtherance of the coal purchase reform, NDRC ceased to coordinate annual coal purchase conference and took measures to reduce government’s involvement in the coal supply negotiation. NDRC will no longer make allocation of coal supply to power companies, but instead will consolidate and publish overall framework for the coal demand and supply. The price and amount of coal supply will be determined based on the free negotiation between power companies, coal suppliers, and the railway authorities.

In 2005, coal price increased by a substantial amount compared to the same period in 2004. We purchased 68.08 million tons of coal and consumed 66.03 million tons of coal. Of our total coal purchases, 55% was purchased under the key contracts and medium and long-term agreements, and the remainder was purchased in the open market. The coal purchase price for our company, including transportation costs and miscellaneous expenses, averaged approximately RMB338.03 per ton.

In 2006, the national supply and demand of coal reached equilibrium. We purchased 67.76 million tons of coal and consumed 68.83 million tons of coal. Of our total coal purchases, 62% was purchased under the key contracts, and the remainder was purchased in the open market. The coal purchase price for our company, including transportation costs and miscellaneous expenses, averaged approximately RMB343.73 per ton.

In 2007, the power generating companies and coal suppliers were permitted to negotiate coal price and execute coal purchase contracts. The government will take temporary interventional measures to regulate coal price only in exceptional circumstances. In 2007, we purchased 76.72 million tons of coal and consumed 77.20 million tons of coal. Of the coal purchases in 2007, 63.3% was purchased under the key contracts and the remainder was purchased in the open market. The coal purchase price for our company, including transportation costs and miscellaneous expenses, averaged approximately RMB417.77 per ton.

In 2008, the average of coal price increased significantly, which adversely affected our results of operations. In 2008, we purchased 88.2 million tons of coal and consumed 85.15 million tons of coal. Of the coal purchases in 2008, 55.4% was purchased under the key contracts and the remainder was purchased in the open market. The coal purchase price for our company, including transportation costs and miscellaneous expenses, averaged approximately RMB584.94 per ton. Our average unit fuel cost in 2008 increased by 46.54% from that in 2007. In 2008, we managed to secure the coal supply by enhancing the coordination between purchase and transportation to stabilize the main supply channel and exploring coal supply resources outside China.

In 2009, the average of coal price decreased significantly. In 2009, we purchased 85.92 million tons of coal and consumed 89.07 million tons of coal. Of the coal purchased in 2009, 56.7% was purchased under the key contracts and the remainder was purchased in the open market. The coal purchase price for our company, including transportation costs and miscellaneous expenses, averaged approximately RMB525.14 per ton. Our average unit fuel cost in 2009 decreased by 13.50% from that in 2008. In 2009, we managed to secure coal supply by expanding our coal import from coal supply resources outside China, which also attributed to a decrease in our average unit fuel cost in 2009.

We strive to reduce our fuel costs in a number of ways, including seeking to purchase high quality coal at competitive prices directly from coal mines or coal shipment terminals, improving coal storage management and inspection and demanding compensation from suppliers for failure to deliver coal of the specified quantity and quality in accordance with the relevant purchase arrangements. We have also started to experiment in some of our power plants with a method of mixing different types of coal as a measure of cost reduction. In order to address the shortage of coal supplies, we have entered into certain medium and long-term agreements with major coal suppliers to secure stable coal supplies for a term of 3 to 5 years. At the same time, we also increase the percentage of the key coal supply contracts with coal suppliers, the coal purchase price of which is typically lower than the purchase price on open market. Through these measures, we seek to further strengthen the stable coal supplies for our power plants.

We have secured our coal supply for 2010 by entering into key contracts with coal suppliers. We have also entered into coal import contracts to supplement the coal supply for our power plants located in coastal regions, which is expected to further stabilize our fuel cost. However, due to the uncertainties in the coal market and coal transportation capacity, new challenges may arise with respect to the price and supply of coal, thus creating pressure on our cost control.

Gas

Huaneng Shanghai Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant ("Shanghai CCGT") is a gas-fired power plant. The gas supply for Shanghai CCGT is transported through the pipeline of "West-East Gas Transport Project ".

Huaneng Jinling Combined Cycle Gas Turbine Power Plant (“Jinling CCGT”) is a gas-fired power plant. The gas supply for Jinling CCGT is transported through the pipeline of “West-East Gas Transport Project”.

Tuas Power has four 367.5 MW gas-fired combined cycle generating units. The gas supply for Tuas Power is provided by Gas Supply Pte Ltd and Sembcorp Pte Ltd.

Oil

Tuas Power has two 600 MW oil-fired steam generating units. The oil supply for Tuas Power is purchased from open market.

Repairs and maintenance

Each of our power plants has a timetable for routine maintenance, regular inspections and repairs. Such timetables and the procedures for the repairs and maintenance of generating units comply with the relevant regulations promulgated by the former Ministry of Electricity Power.

Pursuant to our procedures, generating units are currently operating on a cycle of four to six years. In each cycle, there are four different levels of maintenance:

	(i)	regular checks and routine maintenance are carried out throughout the period during which generating unit is in operation;
	(ii)	a small-scale servicing is performed every year, which takes approximately 20 days;
	(iii)	a medium-scale check-up is carried out between the two overhauls, the length of which depends on the actual condition of the generating unit at the time of the check-up and the inspections and improvements to be carried out; and
	(iv)	a full-scale overhaul is conducted at the end of each operating cycle, which takes approximately 60 days.

C.	Organizational structure

We are 42.03% owned by HIPDC, which in turn is a subsidiary of Huaneng Group. Huaneng Group was established in 1988 with the approval of the State Council. Huaneng Group also holds an 8.92% equity interest in us either directly or through its wholly-owned subsidiary. In 2002, Huaneng Group was restructured as one of the five independent power generation group companies to take over the power generation assets originally belonging to the State Power Corporation of China. Huaneng Group has a registered capital of RMB20 billion and is controlled and managed by the central government. Huaneng Group is principally engaged in the development, investment, construction, management and operation of energy related projects as well as the production and sale of electricity. In addition to this core business, Huaneng Group also engages in the development, investment, construction, production and sale of projects and products in the information, transportation, new energy source and environmental industries.

HIPDC was established in 1985 as a joint venture with 51.98% of its equity interests currently owned by Huaneng Group. HIPDC is engaged in developing, investing, operating and constructing power plants in China. Some of the power plants currently owned and operated by us were originally built and later transferred to us by HIPDC. Both Huaneng Group and HIPDC have agreed to give us preferential rights in the power development business and power assets transfers.

The following organizational chart sets forth the organizational structure of HIPDC and us as of March 31, 2010:

Notes:	(1)	Huaneng Group indirectly holds 100% equity interests in Pro-Power Investment Limited through its wholly-owned subsidiary, China Hua Neng Hong Kong Company Limited, and Pro-Power Investment Limited in turn holds 5% equity interests in HIPDC. As a result, Huaneng Group indirectly holds additional 5% equity interests in HIPDC.
	(2)	Of the 8.92% equity interest, 8.75% was directly held by Huaneng Group, and the remaining 0.17% was held by Huaneng Group through its wholly-owned subsidiary, China Hua Neng Hong Kong Company Limited.

Competition and dispatch

All power plants in China are subject to dispatch conducted by various dispatch centres. A dispatch centre is required to dispatch electricity pursuant to the Regulations on the Administration of Electric Power Dispatch Networks and Grids, issued by the State Council with effect from November 1, 1993, and in accordance with its agreements with power plants subject to its dispatch. Power generating companies are also required to enter into on-grid dispatch agreements with power grid companies. As a result, there is competition for favorable dispatch treatment in the PRC electric power industry, especially during the off-peak load periods. More efficient power plants usually operate at higher output than less efficient power plants. We believe that in order to increase system stability, large and efficient power plants such as ours will be preferred as base load plants to generate power for the grids to which they connect. We believe that our dispatch arrangements with the local power corporations and dispatch centres, superior quality equipment, lower coal consumption rate, higher efficiency of plant operation, lower emission levels and larger capacity represent competitive advantages in the markets in which we operate.

A number of foreign power developers and foreign companies (including Hong Kong companies), have been pursuing investment opportunities in the PRC electric power industry, which opportunities include the development of power plants (through joint ventures with PRC partners) or the purchase of interests in existing power plants. While we believe that we currently possess advantages over such foreign developers because of our extensive experience in the electric power industry of China and our close relationships with the central and local governments, there can be no assurance that we will not experience increased competition in the future.

In addition to competing with other foreign-invested power generating companies for favorable dispatch arrangements, since 2002, we have also been facing competition from four other major power generating groups: China Power Investment Corporation, China Huadian Power Corporation, China Guodian Power Corporation and China Datang Power Corporation, which were created following the break-up of the former State Electric Corporation in 2002. Although we were not affected by this reform measure as we have developed good working relationship with the dispatch centres and the relevant government departments in the areas where our power plants are located, there can be no assurance that such good working relationship will not be adversely affected as more power generating companies compete for favorable dispatch treatment.

As power generating companies were separated from power grid companies and more competitors entered into the market, the SERC issued the Interim Measures Regarding Promotion of Openness, Fairness and Equitableness of Power Dispatch, requiring power dispatch centers to treat all competitors indiscriminately in respect of dispatch administration and information disclosure except in cases where safe and stable operation of the electric power system requiring different treatment.

In 2008, with the purpose of improving energy usage efficiency, the government implemented an electricity optimized-dispatch policy in Henan Province, Sichuan Province, Jiangsu Province, Guangdong Province and Guizhou Province on a pilot basis, and plans to roll out to others if the trial operation is successful. In addition, as of December 31, 2009, in all regions in which we operate power plants, the government’s power administrative departments take differential power generation plan policies to improve the planned useful hours of the environmental protection and energy convention units.

Competition and Dispatch in Singapore

The Singapore power market is highly concentrated, as the three largest power generating companies account for approximately 90% of total generating capacity. Tuas Power competes in the NEMS using its portfolio of gas fired and oil fired generating units. It was able to maintain its market share of approximately 24.3% in the NEMS for 2009. Its major competitors include Senoko Power which is owned by a Japanese/French consortium led by Marubeni Group, PowerSeraya which is owned by YTL Group of Malaysia, SembCorp Cogen and Keppel Merlimau Cogen. Tuas Power’s generating units are relatively new with a track record of steady operation and high reliability. The technical and economic parameters of Tuas Power's units make Tuas Power one of the leaders in Singapore’s power industry.

In the NEMS, power generating companies compete to generate and sell electricity every half-hour by offering their capacity (specifying price/quantity pairs). The EMC, the operator of Singapore’s wholesale electricity market, determines the least-cost dispatch quantities and the corresponding market-clearing or spot prices based on the offers made by power generating companies. The spot prices in the NEMS reflect the least-cost market solution for the dispatch of energy and provision of operating reserves. In general, this means that each power generation company that submitted an offer below the spot price will be dispatched, and a power generation company that submitted an offer above the spot price will not be dispatched. The spot price that power generation companys receive is a nodal price, which may vary according to their location on the network. Nodal prices would be higher in areas where higher transmission losses are incurred in getting the electricity to the load facilities.

Environmental regulation

We are subject to the PRC Environmental Protection Law, the regulations of the State Council issued thereunder, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Treatment of Water Pollution, the PRC Law on the Prevention and Treatment of Air Pollution, the Emission Standard of Air Pollutants for Thermal Power Plants (the "New Emission Standards") thereunder and the PRC Law on Ocean Environment Protection (collectively the "National Environmental Laws") and the environmental rules promulgated by the Local Governments in whose jurisdictions our various power plants are located (the "Local Environmental Rules"). According to the National Environmental Laws, the State Environmental Protection Bureau sets national environmental protection standards and local environmental protection bureaus may set stricter local standards. Enterprises are required to comply with the stricter of the two standards.

At present, new projects are subject to the environmental evaluation approval. The project proposal is required to be submitted to the State Environmental Protection Administration (“SEPA”) for approval.

Effective July 1, 2003, all power plants in China became subject to the pollutant discharge levy system, pursuant to which discharge fees are levied based on the actual amount of pollutants discharged. As a result, all of our power plants are now required to pay discharge fees in such manner. Under this new regulation, the discharge fees for sulphur dioxide were increased from RMB0.63 per kilogram in 2006 to RMB1.26 per kilogram in 2009. Discharge fees for nitrous oxide were increased to RMB0.63 per kilogram on July 1, 2004. The discharge fees for the dust have been RMB0.28 per kilogram since July 1, 2003. The discharge fees for waste water were increased gradually. Since 2008, certain provinces have raised the rates of waste disposal fees. In 2007, 2008 and 2009, we paid to the local governments total discharge fees of approximately RMB507 million, RMB537 million and RMB431 million, respectively.

According to the New Emission Standards, promulgated by SEPA and State Technology Supervision Administration with effect from January 1, 2004, more restrictive standards to control sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions are applicable to all thermal power plant projects for which environmental impact study reports are yet to be approved. These restrictive standards govern both the total sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions from the power plant and the emission density of each chimney.

In order to meet with the requirement of the New Emission Standards, we have installed flue gas desulphurization (“FGD”) facilities and denitrification facilities with all of our newly constructed generating

units. We have also carried out sulfur disposal reform on the existing generating units. As of the end of 2009, we have installed and operated desulphurization facilities on all our existing coal-fired generating units.

In order to reduce fly ash, we use very high-efficiency electrostatic precipitators. Each power plant is also equipped with a waste water treatment facility to treat water used by the power plant before it is released into the river or the sea. We pay discharge fees on the basis of measurements made at discharge points of each plant where waste is released. All of the disposal equipment and facilities for sulfur dioxide, fly ash, waste water and noise in our existing power plants completely satisfy the existing national standard.

We believe we have implemented systems that are adequate to control environmental pollution caused by our facilities. In addition to the measures identified above, each power plant has its own environment protection office and staff responsible for monitoring and operating the environmental protection equipment. The environmental protection departments of the local governments monitor the level of emissions and base their fee assessments on the results of their tests.

We believe our environmental protection systems and facilities for the power plants are adequate for us to comply with the currently effective national and local environmental protection regulations. It is expected that the PRC Government will impose additional and stricter regulations to implement the emission plan which would require additional expenditure in compliance with environmental regulations.

Environmental Regulation in Singapore

Tuas Power’s generation operations are mainly subjected mainly to Singapore’s Environmental Protection and Management Act and Environmental Public Health Act. The former sets out requirements pertaining to control of pollution and management of hazardous substance while the latter focuses mainly on proper waste management.

To address the environmental concerns and regulatory requirements, Tuas Power has in place an environmental management system. All generating units are equipped with pollution control facilities. Stage I steam plants burns low sulfur content fuel oil and employs electro-precipitator to control sulfur dioxide and particulates emission respectively. Stage II combined-cycle plants burns natural gas and are fitted with low-nitrogen oxide burners to control nitrogen oxide emission. Source emission testing is performed annually and the results are submitted to the Pollution Control Department.

Tuas Power has dedicated wastewater treatment plant to treat its oily wastewater and process wastewater prior to discharge into the sea. The treatment processes are automated to prevent accidental adverse discharge and critical parameters are monitored on a real-time basis. Trade effluent testing is performed annually and the results are shared with the Pollution Control Department.

Land contamination is prevented through well-designed storage and containment procedures. Specific areas for storage of waste and hazardous substances are designated within the power plant.

Waste generated in Tuas Power plants is identified and managed accordingly. Waste with residual value, such as waste oil, is resold to licensed collectors for reuse while other waste is disposed through licensed disposal contractors.

Hazardous substances which have potential to cause environmental pollution are controlled within the power plant compound. Operators who handle these chemicals are competent and the storage concept of these substances is designed to prevent and mitigate the impact of any abnormal release. Regular audits are conducted to ensure these hazardous substances are managed properly and the findings and recommendations for improvements are reported to the Pollution Control Department.

Insurance

We currently maintain property all risks insurance and machinery breakdown insurance for all of our power plants, and construction all risks insurance or erection all risks insurance for all of our newly built and expansion projects as well as large-scaled upgrading projects. Our current insurance coverage on our property, plant and equipment (including construction all risk insurance) is maintained with Yongcheng Property and Casualty Insurance Company, and co-insured by PICC Property and Casualty Company Ltd. and China Pacific Property Insurance Co., Ltd., which amounted approximately RMB182 billion. In July 2009, we renewed the liabilities insurance for our directors and officers with a coverage of US$10 million.

We do not maintain any third party liability insurance to cover claims in respect of bodily injury or property or environment damage arising from accidents on our property or relating to our operation other than the third party additional risk insurance included in construction all risk insurance or erection all risk insurance. We do not usually carry business interruption insurance either, which is not customarily carried by power companies in the PRC. We believe that our insurance coverage is adequate and is standard for the power industry in China. Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors – Risks relating to the Company and the PRC Power Industry – Operating power plants involves many risks and we may not have sufficient insurance coverage to cover the economic losses if any of our power plant’ s ordinary operation is interrupted.”

Tuas Power purchases key insurance policies at the beginning of each fiscal year. Tuas Power has purchased industrial all risks and business interruption insurance for all of its power plants. The existing insurance coverage is maintained with American Home Assurance Company, First Capital Insurance Ltd, ACE Insurance Ltd and Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Plc (Singapore Branch). The insured value under this policy is approximately S$2.16 billion with a Business Interruption cover of S$30 million. The product and public liability policy is currently maintained with Allianz Insurance Company of Singapore Pte Ltd. The policy will indemnify Tuas Power against damages which Tuas Power shall be legally liable to pay arising out of injury and/or damage in connection with its business. The directors and office insurance policy was purchased from Chubb and American Home Assurance. Tuas Power also purchased a three-year environment liability insurance policy from American Home Assurance.

Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

General

The principal activities of the Company are investment, construction, operation and management of power plants. The Company provides stable and reliable electricity supply to customers through grid operators where the operating plants are located. The Company is committed to scientific development, increasing economic efficiency, enhancing returns for shareholders, conserving resources and protecting the environment. The Company also attaches importance to social responsibilities and makes active efforts to build a harmonious society.

Since its incorporation, the Company has continued to expand its operating scale, thus increasing its operating revenue.

Currently, the Company is one of the largest listed power producers in China. Its power generation operations are widely located, covering the Northeast China Grid, the Northern China Grid, the Northwest China Grid, the Eastern China Grid, the Central China Grid, the Southern China Grid and Singapore.

Looking back in 2009, the general recovery of China’s economy and increase in power demand has improved the Company’s operating conditions. With the strong support of the shareholders and concerted efforts of the employees, the Company thoroughly applied the scientific development view, focused on the annual production and operation targets, responded actively to changes in power, coal and capital markets, continued pursuing market expansion, enhanced cost control and capital management with the view to reduce cost and improve efficiency, and achieved the annual target of turning loss into profit. In the meantime, the Company continued to diligently fulfill its social responsibilities to provide sufficient, reliable and clean electric power and achieved new progress in the areas of energy saving, project construction, generating units renovation and environmental protection.

Critical accounting policies

The Company and its subsidiaries have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact of and any associated risks related to these policies on the business operations are discussed throughout the Operating and Financial Review and Prospects where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Financial Statements in Item 17 of this Annual Report on Form 20-F. Note that our preparation of this Annual Report on Form 20-F requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided based on book value less estimated residual value over estimated useful life using straight-line method. For those impaired property, plant and equipment, depreciation is provided based on book value after deducting impairment provision over estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

	2009
Port facilities	20-40 years
Buildings	8-35 years
Electric utility plant in service	5-35 years
Transportation facilities	6-14 years
Others	3-18 years

At the end of each year, the Company and its subsidiaries review the estimated useful life, residual value and the depreciation method of the property, plant and equipment for adjustment when necessary.

Management of the Company decides the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and respective depreciation. The accounting estimate is based on the expected wear and tear incurred during power generation. Wear and tear can be significantly different following renovation each time. When the useful lives differ from the original estimated useful lives, management will adjust the estimated useful lives accordingly. It is possible that the estimates made based on existing experience are different to the actual outcomes within the next financial period and could cause a material adjustment to the depreciation and carrying amount of property, plant and equipment.

Useful life of power generation licence

The Company and its subsidiaries acquired the power generation licence as part of the business combination with Tuas Power Ltd. (“Tuas Power”). The power generation licence is initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. It is of indefinite useful life and is not amortized. It is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment loss. Useful life of the power generation licence is reviewed by the Company and its subsidiaries each financial period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life assessment. As of year end, management of the Company and its subsidiaries considered the estimated useful life for its power generation licence as indefinite. This estimate is based on the expected renewal of power generation licence without significant restriction and cost, together with the consideration on related future cash flows generated and the expectation of management in continuous operations. Based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial period that are different from assumptions could require a change on carrying amount of power generation licence.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Goodwill and power generation licence is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (“CGUs”) according to synergy effect arising from the business combination. The Company and its subsidiaries allocate goodwill to those CGUs based on operating regions.

Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite useful lives and long-term equity investments not accounted for as financial assets are tested for impairment when there is any impairment indication on balance sheet date. If impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of asset is less than its book value, that difference is recognized as impairment provision. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell of the asset and present value of its expected future cash flow. Asset impairment is calculated and recognized on individual asset basis. If it is difficult to estimate recoverable amount for the individual assets, the recoverable amount is determined based on the recoverable amount of the CGU to which asset belongs. CGU is the smallest group of assets that independently generates cash flows.

Key assumptions applied in the impairment tests include the expected tariff rates, demands of electricity in specific regions where these power plants are located and fuel cost. Management determined these key assumptions based on past performance and its expectations on market development. If different judgments were applied, estimates could differ significantly. Actual results could vary materially from these estimates.

Newly adopted accounting policies

The following new standards and amendments to standards are adopted for the first time to the financial year beginning January 1, 2009.

	o	International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 1 (revised), ‘Presentation of financial statements’. The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (i.e. ‘non-owner changes in equity’) in the statement of changes in equity, requiring ‘non-owner changes in equity’ to be presented separately from owner changes in equity. All ‘non-owner changes in equity’ to be required to be shown in a performance statement.

		Entities can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (the income statement and statement of comprehensive income).

		The Company and its subsidiaries elected to present one performance statement and these financial statements have been prepared under the revised disclosure requirements. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation, there is no impact on earnings per share.

	o	Amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 27, ‘Cost of an investment in a subsidiary, jointly controlled entity and associate’. The amendment to the part of IAS 27 is relevant to the Company and its subsidiaries. The amendments to IAS 27 remove the definition of cost method and require an entity to record dividend income from its subsidiaries or associates when its rights to receive the dividends are established, i.e. including dividend distributed out of pre-acquisition and post-acquisition retained earnings in the statement of comprehensive income. The Company and its subsidiaries early apply this amendment prospectively from 1 January 2009 in their separate financial statements. These amendments have no material impact on those financial statements in the current year.

	o	IFRS 8, ‘Operating segments’. IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 ‘Segment reporting’ and requires a ‘management approach’ under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This has resulted in separation of port operations out of the original PRC geographical segment and included in ‘all other segments’ and Singapore geographical segment is grouped into the PRC geographical segment without port operations as a single ‘power segment’. In addition, the segment information disclosed is based on the information for internal reporting purpose which is under China Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises (“PRC GAAP”).

		Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers have been identified as directors and certain senior management of the Company that make strategic decisions.

		IFRS 8 amends certain disclosure items which the Company and its subsidiaries have restated comparative information accordingly.

	o	Amendment to IFRS 7, ‘Financial instruments: disclosures’. The amendment enhances the disclosure requirements about fair value measurement and reinforces existing principles for disclosure about liquidity risk. The amendment introduces a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement disclosures and requires some specific quantitative disclosures for financial instruments on the lowest level in the hierarchy. It also requires the Company and its subsidiaries to provide additional disclosures about the relative reliability of fair value measurements. In addition, the amendment clarifies and enhances the existing requirements for the disclosure of liquidity risk primarily requiring a separate liquidity risk analysis for derivative and non-derivative financial liabilities. As the change in accounting policy only results in additional disclosures, there is no impact on earnings per share.

	o	The IASB has issued an improvement document in May 2008 and one of the amendments to IFRS 7 required the exclusion of interest income from net financial expenses. The Company and its subsidiaries have separately presented interest income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the current year and restated prior period comparative accordingly. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation, there is no impact on earnings per share.

C.	Financial position

General

The assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries experienced significant change during the year 2009, due to newly acquired power plants and continued investments in construction projects.

Assets

As of December 31, 2009, total assets of the Company and its subsidiaries amounted to RMB197.887 billion, representing a 19.27% increase from RMB165.918 billion as of December 31, 2008. Including which, non-current assets increased by 19.05% to RMB173.697 billion, primarily due to the continued investment in construction projects and acquisitions of power plants. Current assets increased by RMB4.172 billion, or 20.84%, to RMB24.190 billion, primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable as a result of the expansion of our operation scale and input VAT recoverables arising from acquisitions of property, plant and equipment and construction materials.

Liabilities

As of December 31, 2009, total liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries amounted to RMB147.239 billion, representing a 19.36% increase from RMB123.358 billion as of December 31, 2008, primarily attributable to the increased borrowings for construction projects. Non-current liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries mainly consisted of bank loans and bonds. The increase of current liabilities was largely attributable to increased short-term debentures.

As of December 31, 2009, interest-bearing debts of the Company and its subsidiaries totaled RMB129.220 billion. The interest-bearing debts consisted of long-term loans (including those maturing within a year), long-term bonds, short-term loans, short-term debentures and notes payable.

Shareholder’s equity

Excluding the impact of profit and profit appropriations, the Company’s equity items increased for the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily attributable to after-tax increase of RMB773 million for increase in fair value of the listed shares held by the Company and after-tax increase of RMB575 million from the movements of hedging reserves of Tuas Power.

Major financial position ratios

	2009		2008
Current ratio		0.41		0.38
Quick ratio		0.34		0.28
Ratio of liability and shareholders' equity		3.50		3.35
Multiples of interest earned		1.79		-0.14

Formula of the financial ratios:

Current ratio = balance of current assets as of year end / balance of current liabilities as of year end

Quick ratio = (balance of current assets as of year end - net inventories as of the year end) / balance of current liabilities as of year end

Ratio of liabilities and shareholders' equity = balance of liabilities as of year end / balance of shareholders' equity as of year end (excluding minority interests)

Multiples of interest earned = (profit before tax + interest expense) / interest expenditure (inclusive of capitalized interest)

The current ratio and quick ratio remained at relatively low level as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and there is slightly increased at the year end of 2009 from the year end of 2008. The increase in the ratio of liabilities and shareholders’ equity at the year end of 2009 from the year end of 2008 was primarily due to the increased borrowings for construction projects. The multiples of interest earned increased, primarily attributable to the increase in operating profit for the year ended December 31, 2009.

D.	Liquidity and cash resources

The primary sources of funding for the Company and its subsidiaries have been cash provided by internal funds from operating activities, short-term and long-term loans and proceeds from issuances of bonds, and the primary use of funds have been for working capital, capital expenditure and repayments of short-term and long-term borrowings.

As of December 31, 2009, net current liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries were approximately RMB35.392 billion. Based on the Company’s proven financing record, readily available banking facilities and sound credibility, the Company believes it is able to duly repay outstanding debts, obtain long-term financing and secure funding necessary for its operations. The Company has also capitalized on its good credit record to make short-term borrowings at relatively lower interest rates, thus reducing its interest expenses.

E.	Trend information

The major trend of the electricity power market

According to the National Power Industry Statistics Express for 2009 issued by China Electricity Council, as of December 31, 2009, nationwide installed capacity reached 874,000 MW, representing a 10.34% year-on-year increase. For the year ended December 31, 2009, power generated throughout PRC reached 3.6639 trillion kWh, representing a 6.71% year-on-year increase. Thermal power accounted for 2.9922 trillion kWh, or approximately 81.66% of the total capacity, representing a 6.7% increase from the year ended December 31, 2008. A large number of power generating projects were completed and put into operation during 2009, further easing the power shortage and contributing to a generally balanced power market in China. Consequently, the utilization hours of generating equipment dropped continuously and considerably. For the year ended December 31, 2009, nationwide average accumulated utilization hours of power plants with 6,000 KW and above capacities were 4,527 hours, representing a decrease of 121 hours from the year ended December 31, 2008. Utilization hours of thermal power generating equipment were 4,839 hours, representing a decrease of 46 hours from the same period last year.

According to the 2010 SERC meeting, it is expected that, in 2010, the SERC will further reform power market and maintain the power market order through further reinforcing market supervision to protect the rights of various market participants. The Company believes that the continuous regulations and reform of the power market will improve the external environment for its healthy growth.

In response to new market circumstance, the Company will strive to increase equipment reliability; enhance marketing efforts; strengthen research and application of government policies on energy saving and emission reduction as well as related generation and dispatch practices, and on direct power purchase by large power end-users. It will also pursue market expansion, and take full advantages of its generating units on efficiency, energy saving and environment protection to increase utilization hours. The Company will also set up rolling planning adjustment mechanism to design appropriately and develop, construct and complete rapidly construction projects in those areas favorable for power market in line with government guidelines, increase overall competitive strengths, maintain the ability for sustained development, and enhance the Company’s capabilities in risk management and continuous growth.

The trend of the fuel supply

Coal supply shortage is expected to continue in 2010. Due to the integration of local coal resources and increase in the international energy price and shipping costs, the price of coal continued to increase since the second half of the year 2009. As a result, the price of coal supply is expected to be more unstable and uncertain in 2010 and regional supply shortage may arise for the supply of certain types of coal.

Under such circumstance, the Company will refine price control objectives and streamline purchase structure. The Company will also exploit its advantages in other markets and other resources to pursue coal resources outside PRC, make joint efforts with coal suppliers to develop coal-exploration and extraction projects, and explore new avenues to acquire coal resources. Meanwhile, the Company will strive to control fuel costs by enhanced inspection of coal supplies and the variety of heat value.

The financial foreign exchange market

The Company has strong capacity, good reputation and sound financing channels both domestically and internationally.

Domestic business. Although the People’s Bank of China has recently raised the Renminbi deposit reserve requirement ratio, the PRC government is expected to continue implementing liberated monetary policies during 2010. Therefore, the interest of Renminbi is not likely to rise in the foreseeable future. The Company expects no material adverse impact on its operating results from foreign exchange movement in foreseeable future on the Company, because the Company’s foreign liabilities are mostly denominated in US dollar and lesser in Euro and the conversion rate between Renminbi and US dollar is expected to stay stable.

Overseas business. SinoSing Power completed its refinancing in 2009, through which all of its outstanding loans denominated in US dollar were refinanced through loans denominated in Singapore dollar, matching the functional currency of its operation. As a result, no currency risk is expected to have material adverse impact on the overseas operations of the Company.

F.	Employee benefits

As of December 31, 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries had 33,587 employees, of which 245 were located outside PRC. The Company and its subsidiaries provided employees with competitive remuneration and linked such remuneration to operating results as working incentives for the employees. Currently, the Company and its subsidiaries do not have any non-cash remuneration packages.

Based on the development plans of the Company and its subsidiaries and the requirements of individual positions, together with consideration of specific characteristics of individual employees, the Company and its subsidiaries tailored various training programs for their employees on management skills, technical skills and marketing skills.

G.	Guarantee on loans and restricted assets

(“Shenzhen Energy Group”) for RMB2.39 billion on April 22, 2003, and acquired 200 million shares from Shenzhen Energy, a subsidiary of Shenzhen Energy Group, in December 2007. These investments brought a profit of RMB487 million for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2009 under IFRS.

Each of the Company’s independent directors receives annual after-tax cash compensation of RMB60,000. We do not have any service contract with any director that provides for benefits upon termination of employment.

C.	Board practice

As of the end of 2003, we, in accordance with the resolutions passed at a shareholders’ general meeting, have set up four special committees, namely, the Audit Committee, the Strategy Committee, the Nomination

Committee, and the Remuneration and Appraisal Committee, and formulated the working regulations for such committees in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations. All committees operate in accordance with the working rules and utilize their members’ specific background, experience and industry expertise to provide advice to us, so as to enhance our operation efficiency and to make the decision-making process more rationalized.

The main duties of the Audit Committee are to assist our board in performing its statutory and fiduciary duties of supervising our accounting, financial reports, internal controls and compliance, including but not limited to, assisting our board in supervising (i) the integrity of our financial statements; (ii) our compliance with the applicable laws and regulations; (iii) the qualification and independence of our independent auditors and (iv) the performances of our independent auditors and internal auditing department.

The main duties of the Strategy Committee are to advise on, and conduct research in relation to, its long-term development strategies and decisions regarding significant investments.

The main duties of the Nomination Committee are to conduct study and provide advice in relation to the requirements for selection of directors and managers and the relevant procedures; to search for the qualified candidates of directors and managers, and to examine the candidates of directors and managers and advise matters in relation thereto.

The main duties of the Remuneration and Appraisal Committee are to conduct research on the appraisal guidelines for directors and managers, to carry out performance appraisals and provide advice accordingly, and to conduct research on the remuneration policy and proposal regarding the directors and senior management.

Employees

As of December 31, 2009, we employed 33,587 people. Of these, 298 are headquarters management staff, 26,921 are power plant personnel directly involved in the management and operation of the power plants and the remainder are maintenance personnel, ancillary service workers and others. Over 59% our work force graduated from university or technical college. As of December 31, 2007 and 2008, we had approximately 22,899 and 28,130 employees respectively.

We conduct continuing education programs for our employees at the head office and at each power plant. We provide training in foreign language, computer, accounting and other areas to our professionals and technicians in their relevant fields. Employees are trained in accordance with the different requirements for professional and managerial positions.

We have reformed the labor system by introducing individual labor contracts. Currently, all employees are employed under employment contracts, which specify the employee's position, responsibilities, remuneration and grounds for termination. Short-term employment contracts have fixed terms of typically one to five years, at the end of which they may be renewed with the agreement of both the Company and the employees.

The contract system imposes discipline, provides incentives to adopt better work methods and provides us with a greater degree of management control over our work force. We believe that, by linking remuneration to productivity, the contract system has also improved employee morale.

Each of our power plants also has a trade union and the employees of our headquarters are also members of a trade union. These trade unions protect employee's rights, aim to fulfill our economic objectives, encourage employees to participate in management decisions and mediate disputes between us and union

members. We have not been subject to any strikes or other labor disturbances interfering with our operations, and we believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Total remuneration of our employees includes salaries, bonuses and allowances. The employees also receive certain benefits in the form of education and health services subsidized by the Company and other miscellaneous subsidies.

In compliance with the relevant regulations, we and our employees participate in the local government pension plan under which all the employees are entitled to the pensions payments upon retirement. See Note 35 to the Financial Statements.

The Company also participates in the social insurance program administered by the social security institution, under which all the employees are entitled to certain social insurance benefits, subject to adjustments in accordance with relevant PRC regulations. The Company is in compliance with all social insurance regulations and has no outstanding overdue for any social insurance contribution.

E.	Share ownership

None of our directors, supervisors or senior management owns any of our shares.

Our outstanding ordinary shares consist of A Shares and H Shares, each with a par value of RMB1.00 per share. The following table set forth certain information regarding our major shareholders as of April 15, 2010.

Shareholder	Number of shares		Approximate percentage in the total issued domestic share capital %		Approximate percentage in the total issued share capital %
Huaneng International Power Development Corporation		5,066,662,118		56.30		42.03

Hebei Provincial Construction Investment Company		603,000,000		6.70		5.00

____________

Note:

(1)

Of the 1,075,124,549 shares, 1,055,124,549 shares are directly held by Huaneng Group, 20,000,000 shares are held by Huaneng Group through its wholly-owned subsidiary, China Hua Neng Hong Kong Company Limited. In addition, Huaneng Group indirectly holds 22% of our total issued shares through HIPDC, its 51.98% owned subsidiary.

As of April 1, 2004, HIPDC and Hebei Provincial Construction Investment Company ("HPCIC") directly holds 42.39% and 7.50% of our total issued shares, respectively. Huaneng Group indirectly holds 22% of our total issued shares through HIPDC, its 51.98% owned subsidiary.

In 2004, Shantou Electric Power Development Company transferred a total of 58 million shares to HIPDC, and the shareholdings of HIPDC increased to 43.12%. In 2005, HIPDC transferred a total of 40 million shares to Liaoning Energy Investment (Group) Limited Liability Company, and therefore decreased its shareholdings in us to 42.78%.

In 2006, all of our shareholders of non-tradable domestic shares except HIPDC transferred a total of approximately 1.1 billion shares to Huaneng Group, representing 9.24% of our total issued shares. Among others, HPCIC transferred approximately 301 million shares to Huaneng Group, and decreased its shareholdings in us to 5.00%.

On April 19, 2006, we carried out our reform plan to convert all non-tradable domestic shares into tradable domestic shares. According to the plan, Huaneng Group and HIPDC transferred a total of 150 million shares to our shareholders of A Shares. As a result, the direct shareholdings of Huaneng Group and HIPDC decreased to 8.75% and 42.03%, respectively.

In June and July of 2008, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, China Hua Neng Hong Kong Company Limited, Huaneng Group acquired 20 million H shares from open market. As a result, the shareholding of Huaneng Group increased to 8.92%.

Before we were established in 1994, HIPDC and other seven promoters entered into the Shareholders' Agreement dated May 31, 1994 (the "Shareholders' Agreement") which, among other things, grants to HIPDC the right to vote all the shares owned by each of the other promoters so as to enable HIPDC to have majority voting rights in general meetings for so long as we are in existence. In addition, directors designated by HIPDC will have majority representation on our board of directors and each of the other promoters will have one representative designated by it appointed as a member of our board of directors. The Shareholders' Agreement also provides that for so long as we are in existence (i) HIPDC and the other signatories to the Shareholders' Agreement will maintain their combined shareholdings to ensure their collective majority control of us, (ii) HIPDC has certain priority rights to purchase the shares held by the other signatories to the Shareholders' Agreement and (iii) if HIPDC does not exercise its priority rights to purchase such shares, each of the signatories to the Shareholders' Agreement other than HIPDC has a priority right to purchase such shares on a pro rata basis and (iv) no shares may be sold or transferred unless their transferees agree to abide by the terms of the Shareholders' Agreement. As a result of the Shareholders' Agreement, HIPDC held 70.09% of the total voting rights of the outstanding shares and, subject to the Shareholders’ Agreement, had the power to control the election of all of our directors and to direct our management and policies.

On May 12, 2006, HIPDC and other promoters (including the shareholders who assumed the rights and obligations of original promoters as a result of share transfer) entered into an amendment to the Shareholders’ Agreement, pursuant to which, each promoter shall be entitled to exercise its own voting rights at the shareholders’ general meeting. Consequently, HIPDC currently holds 42.03% of our total voting rights. Since HIPDC's parent company, Huaneng Group, currently holds, directly or through its wholly owned subsidiary, 8.92% of our total voting rights. HIPDC is able to exert control over us when acting in concert with Huaneng Group.

A decision to declare or to pay any dividends in the future, and the amount of any dividends, will depend on our results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, future prospects and other factors which our Directors may determine as important.

For holders of our H shares, cash dividend payments, if any, shall be declared by our Board of Directors in Renminbi and paid in HK Dollars. The depositary will convert the HK Dollar dividend payments and distribute them to holders of ADSs in US Dollars, less expenses of conversion.

Dividends may be paid only out of our distributable profits (less allocation to the statutory funds of 10% of our net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP) and may be subject to any applicable PRC withholding tax. Our Articles of Association limit our distributable profits to the lower of the amount determined in accordance with PRC GAAP and IFRS. Subject to the above, we expect to carry a positive, balanced and stable dividend distribution policy.

Our board has proposed a final dividend of RMB0.21 per ordinary share (tax inclusive) for the year ended December 31, 2009, which is equivalent to RMB8.40 per ADS. The total dividend to be paid amounted to approximately RMB2.5316 billion.

B.	Significant changes

On March 24, 2010, we issued the short-term debenture in the amount of RMB5 billion, with a maturity period of 270 days, a unit face value of RMB100 and an interest rate of 2.55%.

ITEM 10

Additional Information

A.	Share capital

Not applicable.

B.	Memorandum and articles of association

The following is a brief summary of certain provisions of our Articles of Association, as amended, the Company Law and certain other applicable laws and regulations of the PRC. Such summary does not purport to be complete. For further information, you and your advisors should refer to the text of our Articles of Association, as amended, and to the texts of applicable laws and regulations.

Objects and Purposes

We are a joint stock limited company established in accordance with the Standard Opinion for Joint Stock Limited Companies (the “Standard Opinion”) and certain other relevant laws and regulations of the PRC. We are registered with the PRC State Administration for Industry and Commerce with business license number Qi Gu Guo Zi No. 000496. Article 10 of our Articles of Association provides that our scope of businesses includes, among other things, investment, construction, operation and management of power plants; development, investment and operation of other export-oriented enterprises related to power plants; and production and supply of thermal heat.

Directors

Our directors shall be elected at our shareholders' general meeting. Because the shares do not have cumulative voting rights, a holder of a majority of the shares is able to elect all of the directors. Our directors shall be elected for a term of three years and may serve consecutive terms upon re-election, except that independent directors may only serve a maximum of two consecutive terms of six years. Our directors are not required to hold any shares in us, and there is no age limit requirement for the retirement or non-retirement of our directors.

Where a director is materially interested, directly or indirectly, in a contract, transaction or arrangement (including any proposed contract, transaction or arrangement) with us, he or she shall declare the nature and extent of his or her interests to the board of directors at the earliest opportunity, whether or not such contract, transaction or arrangement is otherwise subject to the approval of the board. A director shall not vote, and shall

not be counted in the quorum of the meeting, on any resolution concerning any contract, transaction or arrangement where the director owns material rights or interests therein. A director is deemed to be interested in a contract, transaction or arrangement in which his associate (as defined by Article 133 of the Articles of Association) is interested.

Unless the interested director discloses his interests to the board and the contract, transaction or arrangement in which the director is materially interested is approved by the board at a meeting in which the director neither votes nor is counted in the quorum, such contract, transaction or arrangement may be revoked by us except with respect to a bona fide party thereto who does not have notice of the director's interests.

We are prohibited from making loans or providing guarantees to our directors and their associates except where such loan or guarantee is made or provided under a service contract as approved by our shareholders at the shareholders’ general meeting and to meet expenditure requirement incurred or to be incurred by the director for the purposes of the Company or for the purpose of enabling the director to perform his or her duties properly.

Matters relating to the remuneration of our directors shall be determined by the shareholders' general meeting.

Dividends

Distribution of dividends may be proposed by our board of directors for approval by an ordinary resolution of our shareholders at the shareholders’ general meeting. The Articles of Association allows for cash or stock dividends.

Dividends may only be distributed after allowance has been made for:

	·	recovery of losses, if any;

	·	allocations to the statutory surplus reserve fund; and

	·	allocations to a discretionary surplus reserve fund.

The allocation to the statutory surplus reserve fund is 10% of our net income determined in accordance with the PRC accounting rules.

The Articles of Association require that cash dividends and other distribution with respect of H Shares be declared in Renminbi and paid by the Company in US dollars or Hong Kong dollar in terms of the H Shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Articles of Association further stipulate that for dividends and other distributions paid in currencies other than Renminbi, we shall use an exchange rate equal to the median closing exchange rate of Renminbi for such currencies announced by PBOC for two working days in the week preceding the date on which such dividends or other distributions are declared.

We will appoint receiving agents to receive, on behalf of the holders of H Shares, any dividend distributions and all other money owing by us in respect of such shares (Receiving Agents). The Receiving Agents will comply with the laws and regulations of the applicable stock exchanges on which our shares are listed. Any Receiving Agent appointed on behalf of the holders of H Shares listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will be a company registered as a trust corporation under the Trustee Ordinance of Hong Kong.

Dividends payments may be subject to PRC withholding tax.

Voting Rights and Shareholders’ Meetings

Our board of directors shall convene a shareholders’ annual general meeting once every year and within six months from the end of the preceding financial year. Our board shall convene an extraordinary general meeting within two months after the occurrence of any one of the following events:

	·	where the number of directors is less than the number required by the PRC Company Law or two-thirds of the number specified in our Articles of Association;

	·	where our unrecovered losses reach one-third of the total amount of our share capital;

	·	where shareholder(s) holding 10% or more of our issued shares so request(s);

	·	whenever our board deems necessary or our supervisory committee so requests; or

	·	other circumstances as provided in the Articles of Association.

Resolutions proposed by shareholder(s) holding 3% or more of the total number of voting shares shall be included in the agenda for the relevant annual general meeting if (i) they are submitted to the board of directors no later than 10 days before the annual general meeting is to be held and (ii) they are matters which fall within the scope of the functions and powers of shareholders’ general meeting and have clear subject and concrete terms to be voted upon. The board of directors shall publish a supplementary notice of annual general meeting specifying the resolutions proposed to other shareholders. Upon publication of the supplementary notice, no alteration to the proposed resolutions or addition of other proposed resolutions will be accepted.

All shareholders’ meetings must be convened by our board by written notice given to shareholders not less than 45 days before the meeting. Based on the written replies received by us 20 days before a shareholders’ meeting, we shall calculate the number of voting shares represented by shareholders who have indicated that they intend to attend the meeting. Where the number of voting shares represented by those shareholders amount to more than one-half of our total voting shares, we shall convene the shareholders’ general meeting. Otherwise, we shall, within five days before holding the shareholders’ general meeting, inform the shareholders again of the motions to be considered and the date and venue of the meeting by way of public announcement. After the announcement is made, the shareholders’ meeting may be convened. The accidental omission by us to give notice of a meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by, a shareholder will not invalidate the proceedings at that shareholders’ meeting.

Shareholders at meetings have the power, among other things, to examine and approve our profit distribution plans and plans to recover loses, the annual budget, an increase or reduction of registered share capital, the reports of our board of directors and supervisory committee, the issuance of debentures, and the plans for merger, division, dissolution or liquidation; to elect or remove our directors and supervisors who are not elected as employees’ representatives; and to review and amend our Articles of Association. In addition, the rights of a class of shareholders may not be modified or abrogated, unless approved by a special resolution of shareholders at a general shareholders’ meeting and by a special resolution of shareholders of that class of shares at a separate meeting. Our Articles of Association enumerate, without limitation, certain amendments which would be deemed to be a modification or abrogation of the rights of a class of shareholders, including increasing or decreasing the number of shares of such class or the number of shares of a class with voting or distribution rights or privileges equal or superior to the shares of such class, removing or reducing rights to receive dividends in a particular currency, and creating shares with voting or distribution rights or privileges equal or superior to shares of such class.

Each share is entitled to one vote on all such matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders at the shareholders’ general meetings, except for meetings of a special class of shareholders where only holders of shares of the affected class are entitled to vote on the basis of one vote per share of the affected class.

Shareholders are entitled to attend and vote at meetings either in person or by proxy. Proxies must be in writing and deposited at our legal address, or such other place as is specified in the meeting notice, not less than 24 hours before the time for holding the meeting at which the proxy proposes to vote or the time appointed for the passing of the relevant resolution(s). When the instrument appointing a proxy is executed by the shareholder’s attorney-in-fact, such proxy when deposited must be accompanied by a notary certified copy of the relevant power of attorney or other authority under which the proxy was executed.

Except for those actions discussed below which require supermajority votes (‘‘special resolutions’’), resolutions of the shareholders are passed by a simple majority of the voting shares held by shareholders who are present in person or by proxy. Special resolutions must be passed by more than two-thirds of the voting shares held by shareholders who are present in person or by proxy.

The following decisions must be adopted by special resolution:

	·	an increase or reduction of our registered share capital or the issuance of shares, including stock distributions, of any class, warrants and other similar securities;

	·	issuance of debentures;

	·	our division, merger, dissolution, liquidation and change of the legal form;

	·	amendments to our Articles of Association;

	·	acquisition or disposal of material assets or providing guarantee in the amount exceeding 30% of our most recent audited total assets within one year; and

	·	any other matters our shareholders have resolved by way of an ordinary resolution at a general meeting to be of a nature which may have a material impact on us and should be adopted by special resolution.

In addition, amendments to the Articles of Association require the approval and consent of the relevant PRC authorities.

All other actions taken by the shareholders, including the appointment and removal of our directors and supervisors and the declaration of cash dividend payments, will be decided by an ordinary resolution of the shareholders.

Any shareholder resolution which is in violation of any laws or regulations of the PRC will be null and void.

Liquidation Rights

In the event of our liquidation, the ordinary shares held by overseas shareholders will rank pari passu with the ordinary shares held by the domestic shareholders, and any of our assets remaining after payments (in order of priority) of (a) the costs of liquidation (b) wages and social insurance fees payable to or for our employees for the past three years prior to the date of liquidation; (c) overdue taxes and tax surcharges, funds and other amounts payable pursuant to the applicable administrative regulations; and (d) bank loans, corporate bonds and other debts, will be divided among our shareholders in accordance with the class of shares and their proportional shareholdings.

Further Capital Call

Shareholders are not liable to make any further contribution to the share capital other than according to the terms, which were agreed by the subscriber of the relevant shares at the time of subscription.

Increases in Share Capital and Preemptive Rights

The Articles of Association require the approval by a special resolution of the shareholders prior to authorizing, allotting, issuing or granting shares, securities convertible into shares or options, warrants or similar rights to subscribe for any shares or such convertible securities. New issues of shares must also be approved by the relevant PRC authorities.

Shareholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to new issues of shares of the Company.

Reduction of Share Capital and Purchase by Us of Our Shares and General Mandate to Repurchase Shares

We may reduce our registered share capital only upon obtaining the approval of the shareholders by a special resolution and, in certain circumstances, of relevant PRC authorities. The number of H Shares, which may be purchased is subject to the Hong Kong Takeovers and Share Repurchase Codes.

Restrictions on Large or Controlling Shareholders

Our Articles of Association provide that, in addition to any obligation imposed by laws and administration regulations or required by the listing rules of the stock exchanges on which our shares are listed, a controlling shareholder shall not exercise his voting rights in a manner prejudicial to the interests of the shareholders generally or of some part of the shareholders:

(1) to relieve a director or supervisor from his or her duty to act honestly in our best interests;

(2) to approve the expropriation by a director or supervisor (for his or her own benefit or for thebenefit of another person) of our assets in any way, including, without limitation, opportunities which may benefit us; or

(3) to approve the expropriation by a director or supervisor (for his or her own benefit or for the benefit of another person) of the individual rights of other shareholders, including, without limitation, rights to distributions and voting rights (save according to a restructuring of our company which has been submitted for approval by the shareholders in a general meeting in accordance with our Articles of Association).

A controlling shareholder, however, will not be precluded by our Articles of Association or any laws and administrative regulations or the listing rules of the stock exchanges on which our shares are listed from voting on these matters.

A controlling shareholder is defined by our Articles of Association as a shareholder whose capital contribution represents 50% or more of the total capital of our company, or a shareholder whose shares represent 50% or more of the total issued share capital of our company, or a shareholder whose capital contribution or shares is less than 50% but obtain significant voting right to influence the result of the shareholder’ general meeting or the resolutions passed thereby.

Disclosure

The Listing Agreement imposes a requirement on us to keep the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, our shareholders and other holders of our listed securities informed as soon as reasonably practicable of any information relating to us and our subsidiaries, including information on any major new developments which are not public knowledge, which:

	·	is necessary to enable them and the public to appraise the position of us and our subsidiaries;

	·	is necessary to avoid the establishment of a false market in its securities; and

	·	might be reasonably expected materially to affect market activity in and the price of its securities.

There are also requirements under the Listing Rules for us to obtain prior shareholders’ approval and/or to disclose to shareholders details of certain acquisitions or disposals of assets and other transactions (including transactions with controlling shareholders).

Sources of Shareholders’ Rights

The PRC’s legal system is based on written statutes and is a system in which decided legal cases have little precedent value. Prior to the effectiveness of the Company Law, the PRC did not have a comprehensive body of laws governing joint stock limited companies. The rights and obligations of our shareholders are principally contained in our constitutive documents and the Standard Opinion, under which we were established. In December 1993, the Standing Committee of the 8th National People’s Congress adopted the PRC Company Law, which superseded the Standard Opinion. In accordance with Article 229 of the Company Law, we must comply with the relevant requirements of the Company Law within an unspecified time period. As a result, we amended our Articles of Association pursuant to the Company Law on June 6, 1995. On October 27, 2005, the Company law was amended by the Standing Committee of the 10th National People’s Congress, and came into force on January 1, 2006.

Currently, the primary sources of shareholder's rights are our Articles of Association, as amended, the PRC Company Law and the Listing Rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which, among other things, impose certain standards of conduct, fairness and disclosure on us, our directors and our controlling shareholder. To facilitate the offering and listing of shares of PRC companies overseas, and to regulate the behavior of companies whose shares are listed overseas, the State Council Securities Committee and the State Commission for Restructuring the Economic System issued on August 27, 1994 the Mandatory Provisions for Articles of Association of Company Listing Overseas (the ‘‘Mandatory Provisions’’). These Mandatory Provisions become entrenched in that, once they are incorporated into the Articles of Association of a PRC company, any amendment to those provisions will only become effective after approval by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council. The Listing Rules require a number of additional provisions to the Mandatory Provisions to be included in the Articles of Association of PRC companies listing H

Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the ‘‘Additional Provisions’’). The Mandatory Provisions and the Additional Provisions have been incorporated into our Articles of Association.

In addition, upon the listing of and for so long as the H Shares are listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, we are subject to the relevant ordinances, rules and regulations applicable to companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, including the Listing Rules of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Securities (Disclosure of Interests) Ordinance (the ‘‘SDI Ordinance’’), the Securities (Insider Dealing) Ordinance and the Hong Kong Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Repurchases (the ‘‘Hong Kong Takeovers and Repurchase Codes’’).

Enforceability of Shareholders’ Rights

There has not been any public disclosure in relation to the enforcement by holders of H Shares of their rights under constitutive documents of joint stock limited companies or the Company Law or in the application or interpretation of the PRC or Hong Kong regulatory provisions applicable to the PRC joint stock limited companies.

The Company Law, as amended in October 2005 and effective in January 2006, has granted shareholders with the rights to bring derivative suits. Within the Company Law, Shareholders holding more than 1 percent of the shares of the company for more than 180 consecutive days are entitled to request the supervisory committee (in terms of directors and senior management) or the board of directors (in terms of supervisors) to bring legal proceedings, or bring legal proceedings in their own name on behalf of the company where it is in emergency and the Company will be subject to irreparable loss if not to do so, against directors, supervisors or senior management who fail to comply with the laws and regulations or the company’s Articles of Association in the course of performing their duties and cause loss to the company;

Our Articles of Association provide that all differences or claims:

	·	between a holder of H Shares and us;

	·	between a holder of H Shares and any of our directors, supervisors, general managers or other senior officers; or

	·	between a holder of H Shares and a holder of domestic ordinary shares, arising from any provision of our Articles of Association, any right or obligation conferred or imposed by the Company Law or any other relevant law or administrative regulation which concerns our affairs

must, with certain exceptions, be referred to arbitration at either the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission in the PRC or the Hong Kong International Arbitration Center. Our Articles of Association provide that such arbitration will be final and conclusive. In June 1999, an arrangement was made between the People’s Courts of the PRC and the courts of Hong Kong to mutually enforce arbitration rewards rendered in the PRC and Hong Kong according to their respective laws. This new arrangement was approved by the Supreme Court of the PRC and the Hong Kong Legislative Council and became effective on February 1, 2000.

The holders of H Shares will not be able to bring actions on the basis of violations of the Listing Rules and must rely on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to enforce its rules. The SDI Ordinance establishes certain obligations in relation to disclosure of shareholder's interests in Hong Kong listed companies, the violation of which is subject to prosecution by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Takeovers and Repurchase Codes do not have the force of law and are only standards of commercial conduct considered acceptable for takeover and merger transactions and share repurchases in Hong Kong as established by the Securities and Futures Commission and the securities and futures industry in Hong Kong.

We have appointed CT Corporation System, New York, as our agent to receive service of process with respect to any action brought against us in certain courts in New York under the United States federal and New York State’s securities laws. However, as the PRC does not have treaties providing for the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments of courts within the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan or most other the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries, administrative actions brought by regulatory authorities, such as the Commission, and other actions which result in foreign court judgments, could (assuming such actions are not required by PRC law and the Articles of Association to be arbitrated) only be enforced in the PRC on a reciprocal basis or according to relevant international treaty to which China is a party if such judgments or rulings do not violate the basic principles of the law of the PRC or

the sovereignty, security and public interest of the society of the PRC, as determined by a People’s Court of the PRC which has the jurisdiction for recognition and enforcement of judgments. We have been advised by our PRC counsel, Haiwen & Partners, that there is uncertainty as to the enforceability in the PRC of actions to enforce judgments of United States courts arising out of or based on the ownership of H Shares or ADSs, including judgments arising out of or based on the civil liability provisions of United States federal or state securities laws.

Restrictions on Transferability and the Share Register

H Shares may be traded only among investors who are not PRC persons, and may not be sold to PRC investors. There are no restrictions on the ability of investors who are not PRC residents to hold H Shares.

As provided in the Articles of Associations we may refuse to register a transfer of H Shares listed on Hong Kong Stock Exchange unless:

	·	a fee (for each instrument of transfer) of HK dollar 2.50, or any higher fee as agreed by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, has been paid to us;

	·	the instrument of transfer only involves H Shares;

	·	the stamp duty chargeable on the instrument of transfer has been paid;

	·	the relevant share certificate and upon the reasonable request of the board of directors, any evidence in relation to the right of the transferor to transfer the shares have been submitted;

	·	if it is intended to transfer the shares to joint owners, then the maximum number of joint owners must not exceed four;

	·	we do not have any lien on the relevant shares.

We are required to maintain original share register for holders of H Shares in Hong Kong and a copy of the register at our legal address. Shareholders have the right to inspect and, for a reasonable charge, to copy the share register. No transfers of ordinary shares shall be recorded in our share register within 20 days prior to the date of a shareholders’ general meeting or within 5 days prior to the record date established for the purpose of distributing a dividend.

We have appointed Hong Kong Registrars Limited to act as the registrar of our H Shares. This registrar maintains our register of holders of H Shares in Hong Kong and enters transfers of shares in such register upon the presentation of the documents described above.

C.	Material contracts

See “Item 7. Major Shareholders and Related Party Transactions — B. Related Party Transactions” for certain arrangements we have entered into with HIPDC and Huaneng Group.

D.	Exchange controls

The existing foreign exchange regulations have significantly reduced government foreign exchange controls for transactions under the current account, including trade and service related foreign exchange transactions and payment of dividends. We may undertake current account foreign exchange transactions without prior approval from the State Administration of Foreign Exchange or its local branch offices by performing certain required procedures. The PRC government has stated publicly that it intends to make the Renminbi freely convertible in the future. However, we cannot predict whether the PRC government will continue its existing foreign exchange policy and when the PRC government will allow free conversion of Renminbi to foreign currency.

Foreign exchange transactions under the capital account, under most circumstances, including principal payments in respect of foreign currency-denominated obligations, continue to be subject to significant foreign exchange controls and require the approval of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange or its local branch offices. These limitations could affect our ability to obtain foreign exchange through debt or equity financing, or to obtain foreign exchange for capital expenditures.

The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including US dollars, has historically been set by the People's Bank of China based on the previous day’s PRC inter-bank foreign exchange market rate and current exchange rates on the world financial markets. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the US dollar. Under the new policy, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a band against a basket of certain foreign currencies based on market supply and demand. This change in policy resulted initially in an approximately 2.0% appreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the US dollar. Since the adoption of this new policy, the value of Renminbi against the US dollar has fluctuated on a daily basis within narrow ranges, but overall has further strengthened against the US dollar. In the second half of 2008, the overall appreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the US dollar has discontinued, and the value of Renminbi against the US dollar fluctuated within narrow ranges. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to further liberalize its currency policy, which could result in a further and more significant appreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the US dollar. However, there is no assurance that there will not be a devaluation of Renminbi in the future. If there is such a devaluation, our debt servicing cost will increase and the return to our overseas investors may decrease.

The following table sets forth information concerning exchange rates between the Renminbi and the U.S. dollar for the periods indicated:

Taxation

The following is a summary of (i) certain tax consequences from acquiring, owning and disposing the H Shares and ADSs based on tax laws of the PRC, the United States and the Income Tax Treaty between the PRC and the United States (the "Tax Treaty") as in effect on the date of this annual report, and is subject to changes in PRC or United States law, including changes that could have retroactive effect, and (ii) the principal PRC taxes to which we are subject to. The following summary does not take into account or discuss the tax laws of any countries or regions other than the PRC and the United States, nor does it take into account the individual circumstances of an investor. This summary does not purport to be a complete technical analysis or examination of all potential tax effects relevant to an investment in the H Shares or ADSs and current and prospective investors in all jurisdictions of the H Shares or ADSs are advised to consult their tax advisors as to PRC, United States or other tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the H Shares or ADSs. This summary also does not purport to be a complete technical analysis or examination of all potential PRC taxes that may be levied upon us.

PRC tax considerations

Tax on dividends

Individual investors

According to the current PRC tax regulations, dividends paid by PRC companies to individual investors are ordinarily subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a flat rate of 20%. However, such withholding tax is not applicable with respect to those PRC companies which have their shares listed on an overseas stock exchange, such as H Shares and ADSs, because of an exemption issued first in 1993 and then

confirmed in 1994. The relevant tax authority has not collected withholding tax on dividend payments on H shares or ADSs.

In the event that the exemption is no longer available or is withdrawn, a 20% tax may be withheld on dividends in accordance with the PRC individual income tax law. Such withholding tax may be reduced under an applicable treaty on the avoidance of double taxation.

Enterprises

In accordance with the New Enterprise Income Tax Law that became effective on January 1, 2008, dividends derived from the revenues accumulated from January 1, 2008 and are paid by PRC companies to non-resident enterprises are generally subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a rate of 10% unless exempted or reduced pursuant to an applicable double-taxation treaty or other exemptions. Dividends paid by PRC companies to resident enterprises, including enterprises established under the laws of non-PRC jurisdictions but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC, are not subject to any PRC withholding tax, unless the dividends are derived from the publicly traded shares which have not been held continuously by the resident enterprises for twelve months. According to the Notice on the Issues Concerning Withholding the Enterprise Income Tax on the Dividends Paid by Chinese Resident Enterprise to H Share Holders Which Are Overseas Non-resident Enterprises issued by the State Administration of Taxation on November 6, 2008, Chinese resident enterprises are required to withhold PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 10% on dividends paid for 2008 and later years payable to their respective H Shares holders who are non-resident enterprises.

Capital gains tax on sales of shares

As discussed above, gains realized upon the sale of overseas shares issued by PRC companies by foreign individual investors are not subject to tax on capital gains.

In accordance with the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, capital gains realized by foreign enterprises which are non-resident enterprises in China upon the sale of oversea shares are generally subject to a PRC withholding tax levied at a rate of 10%, unless exempted or reduced pursuant to an applicable double-taxation treaty or other exemptions. The capital gains realized by resident enterprises, including enterprises established under the laws of non-PRC jurisdictions but whose “de facto management body” is located in the PRC, upon the sales of oversea shares are subject to the PRC corporate income tax.

Tax treaties

Non-PRC Investors residing in countries which have entered into double-taxation treaties with the PRC may be entitled to a reduction of the withholding tax imposed on the payment of dividends to such Foreign Holders of us. The PRC currently has double-taxation treaties with a number of countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Stamp tax

Under the Provisional Regulations of The People's Republic of China Concerning Stamp Tax, which became effective in October, 1988, PRC stamp tax should not be imposed on the transfer of H Shares or ADSs of PRC publicly traded companies.

Taxation of the Company

Income tax

from the previous years (at most of five years), followed by a 50% reduction of the applicable tax rate for the next three years. The statutory income tax was assessed individually based on each of their results of operations.

On March 16, 2007, the Enterprise Income Tax Law of PRC, or the New Enterprise Income Tax Law, was enacted, and became effective on January 1, 2008. The New Enterprise Income Tax Law imposes a uniform income tax rate of 25% for domestic enterprises and foreign invested enterprises. Therefore, our power plants subject to a 33% income tax rate prior to January 1, 2008 are subject to a lower tax rate of 25% starting on January 1, 2008. With regard to our power plants entitled to a reduced enterprise income tax rate of 15% prior to January 1, 2008, their effective tax rate is being gradually increased to 25% within a five-year transition period commencing on January 1, 2008. Accordingly, the effective tax rate of our wholly-owned power plants will increase over time. In addition, although our power plants currently entitled to tax exemption and reduction under the income tax laws and regulations that are effective prior to the New Enterprise Income Tax Law will continue to enjoy such preferential treatments until the expiration of the same, newly established power plants will not be able to benefit from such tax incentives, unless they can satisfy specific qualifications, if any, provided by then effective laws and regulations on preferential tax treatment.

Value-added tax

Since January 1, 1994, the government has implemented a turnover tax system applicable to FIEs. Under the turnover tax provisions, we have to collect from our electricity customers and pay to the PRC tax authorities a value-added tax ("VAT") on our sales. The tax rate on sales of electricity by us is 17% of total sales. The amount of VAT payable by us is the VAT on sales reduced by the VAT paid by us on our purchases of coal, fuel and other inputs.

United States federal income tax considerations

The following is a summary of United States federal income tax considerations that are anticipated to be material for US Holders (as defined below) who purchase H shares or ADSs of the Company. This summary is based upon existing United States federal income tax law, which is subject to change, possible with retroactive effect. This summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal income taxation which may be important to particular investors in light of their individual investment circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules including: financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations, and, except as described below, non-US Holders, or to persons that will hold H shares or ADSs as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, or constructive sale transaction for United States federal income tax purposes or that have a functional currency other than the United States Dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss any foreign, state, or local tax consideration. This summary assumes that investors will hold their H shares or ADSs as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) under the United States Internal Revenue Code. Each prospective investor is urged to consult its tax advisor regarding the United Stated federal, state, local, and foreign income and other tax considerations of the purchase, ownership, and disposition of H shares or ADSs.

For purposes of this summary, a US Holder is a beneficial owner of H shares or ADSs that is for United States federal income tax purposes:

	·	an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

	·	a corporation, partnership or other entity created in or organized under the laws of, the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;

	·	an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source;

	·	a trust the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust; or

a trust that was in existence on August 20, 1996, was treated as a United States person, for United States federal income tax purposes, on the previous day and elected to continue to be so treated.

A beneficial owner of the H shares or ADSs that is not a US Holder is referred to herein as a “Non-US Holder”.

If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds ADS or H shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in such a partnership should consult their tax advisors as to the particular United States federal income tax consequences applicable to them.

A foreign corporation will be treated as a "passive foreign investment company" (a "PFIC"), for United States federal income tax purposes, if 75% or more of its gross income consists of certain types of "passive" income or 50% or more of its assets are passive. The Company presently believes that it is not a PFIC and does not anticipate becoming a PFIC. This is, however, a factual determination made on an annual basis and is subject to change. The following discussion assumes that the Company will not be subject to treatment as a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes.

US holders

For United States federal income tax purposes, a US Holder of an ADS will be treated as the owner of the proportionate interest of the H shares held by the depositary that is represented by an ADS and evidenced by such ADS. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized upon the exchange of an ADS for the holders' proportionate interest in the H shares. A US Holder's tax basis in the withdrawn H shares will be the same as the tax basis in the ADS surrendered therefore, and the holding period in the withdrawn H shares will include the period during which the holder held the surrendered ADS.

Dividends

Any cash distributions paid by the Company out of earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles, will be subject to tax as ordinary dividend income and will be includible in the gross income of a US Holder upon receipt. Cash distributions paid by the Company in excess of its earnings and profits will be a return of capital to the extent of the US Holder's adjusted tax basis in its shares or ADSs, which will not be subject to tax. Any excess will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset which will be treated as discussed below. Dividends paid in Hong Kong Dollar will be includible in income in a United States Dollar amount based on the United States Dollar - Hong Kong Dollar exchange rate prevailing at the time of receipt of such dividends by the depositary, in the case of ADSs, or by the US Holder, in the case of H shares held directly by such US Holder. A non-corporate holder of ADS or shares of Common Stock will generally be subject to tax on such dividend income at a maximum U.S. federal rate of 15% rather than the marginal tax rates generally applicable to ordinary income. Dividends received on H shares or ADSs will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations. Any subsequent gain or loss in respect of such Hong Kong Dollar arising from exchange rate fluctuations will be ordinary income or loss. This gain or loss will generally be treated as United States source income for United States foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If the Depository converts the Hong Kong Dollar to US Dollar on the date it receives such Hong Kong Dollar, United States persons will not recognize any such gain or loss.

Dividends received on H shares or ADSs will be treated, for United States federal income tax purposes, as foreign source income. A US Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on H shares or ADSs. US Holders who do not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign income tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for United States federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholdings, but only for a year in which the US Holder elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes. In certain circumstances, a US Holder may not claim a foreign tax credit (and instead may claim a deduction) for foreign taxes imposed on the payment of a dividend if the US Holder:

	·	has not held the H shares or ADSs for at least 16 days in the 30-day period beginning 15 days before the ex-dividend date, during which it is not protected from risk of loss;

	·	is obligated to make payments related to the dividends; or

	·	subject to the promulgation of future Treasury regulations that are anticipated to be retroactively applied, holds the H shares or ADSs in an arrangement in which the expected economic profit of the US Holder is insubstantial compared to the value of the foreign tax credit expected to be obtained as a result of the arrangement.

A distribution of additional shares of the Company's stock to US Holders with respect to their H shares or ADSs that is pro rata to all the Company's shareholders may not be subject to Unites States federal income tax. The tax basis of such additional shares will be determined by allocating the US Holders' adjusted tax basis in the H shares or ADSs between the H shares or ADSs and the additional shares, based on their relative fair market values on the date of distribution.

Sale or other disposition of H shares or ADSs

A US Holder will recognize capital gain or loss upon the sale or other disposition of H shares or ADSs in an amount equals to the difference between the amount realized upon the disposition and the US Holder's adjusted tax basis in such H shares or ADSs, as each is determined in US Dollars. Any capital gain or loss will be long-term if the H shares or ADSs have been held for more than one year and will generally be United States source gain or loss. The claim of a deduction in respect of a capital loss, for United States federal income tax purposes, may be subject to limitations. Under the Tax Treaty, any such gain should be treated as foreign source income.

PFIC considerations

If the Company were to be classified as a PFIC in any taxable year, a U.S. Holder would be subject to special rules generally intended to reduce or eliminate any benefits from the deferral of United States federal income tax that a U.S. Holder could derive from investing in a foreign company that does not distribute all of its earnings on a current basis. In such event, a U.S. Holder of the H shares or ADSs may be subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates on (i) any gain recognized on the sale of the H shares or ADSs and (ii) any "excess distribution" paid on the H shares or ADSs (generally, a distribution in excess of 125% the average annual distributions paid by the Company in the three preceding taxable years). In addition, a U.S. Holder may be subject to an interest charge on such gain or excess distribution.

Non-US holders

An investment in H shares or ADSs by a Non-US Holder will not give rise to any United States federal income tax consequences unless:

	·	the dividends received or gain recognized on the sale of H shares or ADSs by such person are treated as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by such person in the United States as determined under United States federal income tax law; or

	·	in the case of gains recognized on a sale of H shares or ADSs by an individual, such individual is present in the United States for 183 days or more and certain other conditions are met.

In order to avoid back-up withholding on dividend payments made in the United States, a Non-US Holder of the H shares or ADSs may be required to complete, and provide the payer with, an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, or other documentary evidence, certifying that such holder is an exempt foreign person.

ITEM 11

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary market risk exposures are fluctuations fuel prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rates.

Equity price risk

The Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to equity security risk because of investments held by the Company and its subsidiaries and classified on the balance sheets as available-for-sale. The exposure of such a risk is presented on the balance sheets.

Detailed information relating to the available-for-sale investments is disclosed in Note 10 to the financial statements. Being a strategic investment in nature, the Company has a director in the Board of the investee and exercises influence in safeguarding the interest. The Company and its subsidiaries also closely monitor the pricing trends in the open market in determining their long-term strategic stakeholding decisions.

Foreign exchange rate risk

A portion of our Renminbi revenues are converted into other currencies to (i) repay our debts denominated in currencies other than RMB, and (ii) pay for imported equipment.

The exchange rate of Renminbi to foreign currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in China's political and economic conditions. The conversion of Renminbi into foreign currencies, including US dollars, has historically been set by the People's Bank of China. On July 21, 2005, the PRC government changed its policy of pegging the value of the Renminbi to the US dollar. Under the policy, the Renminbi is permitted to fluctuate within a band against a basket of certain foreign currencies. This change in policy resulted initially in an approximately 2.0% appreciation in the value of the Renminbi against the US dollar. Since the adoption of this new policy, the value of Renminbi against the US dollar has fluctuated on a daily basis within narrow ranges, but overall has further strengthened against the US dollar. There remains significant international pressure on the PRC government to further liberalize its currency policy. We cannot assure you that any future movements in the exchange rate of the Renminbi against the US dollar and other currencies will not adversely affect our results of operations and financial conditions.

SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries exposed to foreign exchange risk on fuel purchase that is denominated primarily in US dollars. They use forward exchange contracts to hedge almost all of its estimated foreign exchange exposure in respect of forecast fuel purchases over the following three months. The Company and its subsidiaries classify its forward foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges.

The following table provides information, by maturity date, regarding our foreign currency sensitive financial instruments, which consist of bank balances and cash, short-term and long-term debt obligations, capital commitments and forward exchange contracts as of December 31, 2009 and average interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Note:

(1)	The interest rates for variable rate bank and other loans are calculated based on the individual year end indices.

Due to refinancing of SinoSing Power through which all of its outstanding loans denominated in US dollar were refinanced through loans denominated in Singapore dollar, the loans denominated in US dollar decreased from RMB11.22 billion as of December 31, 2008 to RMB7.14 billion as of December 31, 2009. The outstanding balance of the Company’s loans denominated in foreign currencies other than US dollar has changed continually as a result of repayments of the loans by the Company according to agreed-upon repayment schedules or acquisition of new power plants. The loans denominated in JPY decreased from RMB53 million as of December 31, 2007 to RMB26 million as of December 31, 2009. The loans denominated in Euro increased from RMB650 million as of December 31, 2007 to RMB1,025 million as of December 31, 2009.

Interest rate risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily resulting from fluctuations in interest rates on our debts. Upward fluctuations in interest rates increase the cost of new variable rate debts and the interest cost of outstanding floating rate borrowings.

At present, the interest rate of the Company's loans with the term of more than one year denominated in RMB is subject to the change on the benchmark interest rate published and adjusted by the People’s Bank of China. Different interest rate level corresponds to loans with different term. On the other hand, the interest rate of the Company's loans with the term of one year or less is not subject to the change in such benchmark interest rate in accordance with the loan agreements. New loan contracts entered hereafter will be subject to current benchmark interest rate. A portion of the Company’s loans denominated in foreign currency are fixed rate loans, which are not subject to the changes in market interest rate. Due to the loan borrowed in relation to the acquisition of SinoSing Power, the portion of the loans denominated in foreign currency with floating interest rate increased, which subjects the finance cost of the Company to the fluctuation of market interest rate. In the current year, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement to hedge against cash flow interest rate risk of part of the loan. According to the interest rate swap agreement, the Company agrees with the counterparty to settle the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts quarterly until 2019. The notional amount of the outstanding interest rate swap at December 31, 2009 was US$ 400 million.

The loans borrowed by SinoSing Power are denominated in Singapore dollars, and the majority of them are with floating interest rate, which subjects the finance cost of the Company to the fluctuation of market interest rate. In addition, SinoSing Power completed its refinancing in 2009, through which all of its outstanding loans denominated in US dollar were refinanced through loans denominated in Singapore dollar, matching the functional currency of its operation.

The table below provides information about the Company and its subsidiaries’ derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including interest rate swaps and debt obligations. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at the reporting date.

Note:

(1)	The interest rates for variable rate bank and other loans are calculated based on the individual year end indices.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s floating rate loans denominated in foreign currency amounted to RMB5,628 million, accounting for approximately 68.68% of the total foreign loans, most of which was denominated in US dollar, and the average credit spread is 95 bps. In addition, SinoSing Power’s loans denominated in Singapore dollar are floating rate loans and amounted to RMB14,982 million as of December 31, 2009. The interest rates of the loans denominated in US dollar and Singapore dollar are relatively low at the current market condition and there would be no drastic fluctuation within the foreseeable period, thus it would not cause any material adverse effect on the finance cost of the Company. The Company has paid special attention to the trend of international interest rate market by keeping up with the market conditions and predicting the future trend, and has made efforts to explore the feasibility of risk management by application of derivative financial instruments. The Company expects to implement the relevant plan according to its internal approval procedures and use interest rate swap and other derivative financial instruments to control its interest rate risk upon appropriate time.

Commodity price risk

We exposed to fuel price risk on fuel purchases. SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries use fuel oil swap to hedge against such risk. The table below provides information about the fuel swap contracts that are sensitive to changes in fuel prices, including contract volumes, the weighted average contract prices, and the total contract amount by expected maturity dates.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of December 31, 2009 (the "Evaluation Date"), the end of the fiscal year covered by this annual report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our chairman of the board, or principal executive officer, and chief accountant, or principal financial officer, our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based upon the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009 at providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Huaneng Beijing Co-generation Limited Liability Company and Tianjin Huaneng Yangliuqing Co-generation Limited Liability Company, which were acquired by us and consolidated into our financial statements in 2009, were excluded from the scope of our management assessment and auditor attestation requirements for internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Their total assets in aggregate represent 4% and total revenues in aggregate represent 2% of the Company's related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the year ended December 31, 2009, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Mr. Liu Jipeng were respectively appointed as our independent non-executive directors on May 13, 2008. See "Item 6 Directors, Senior Management and Employees — A. Directors, members of the supervisory committee and senior management”.

ITEM 16B

Code of Ethics

Although, as of the date of this annual report, we do not have, in form, a code of ethics that applies to the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer (collectively, the "Senior Corporate Officers"), we believe that, as a substantive matter, the Senior Corporate Officers are subject to a set of written requirements under the PRC law that are substantially similar to the ethical standards described under Item 16B(b) of Form 20-F. Joint stock companies that are incorporated in China and listed on both PRC and foreign stock exchanges are heavily regulated by the central government. To a large extent, these requirements, which are designed to promote honest and ethical conduct and compliance with applicable laws and regulations by the directors and senior executives of such companies, are not merely ethical requirements, but more importantly, statutory obligations that are legally binding on these individuals under the PRC Company Law, relevant rules and regulations promulgated by China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Mandatory Provisions of Articles of Association of Overseas Listed Companies.

Audit Services are defined as the standard audit work that needs to be performed each year in order to issue an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting of the Company and its subsidiaries. It also includes other audit services which are those services that only the external auditors reasonably can provide, such as auditing of non-recurring transactions and application of new accounting policies, audits of significant and newly implemented system controls and pre-issuance reviews of quarterly financial results.

Audit-related Services include those other assurances and related services provided by auditors, but not restricted to those that can only reasonably be provided by the external auditors signing the auditors' report, that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements such as acquisition due diligence, consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards.

Tax Services include the assistance with compliance and reporting of corporate income tax and value-added tax, assistance with our assessment of new or changing tax regimes, assessment of our transfer pricing policies and practices, and assistance with assessing relevant rules, regulations and facts going into our correspondence with tax authorities.

Audit Committee Pre-approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors is responsible, among other things, for the oversight of the external auditors subject to the requirements of the PRC Law and the Company's Articles of Association. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy regarding pre-approval of audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by our independent auditors (the "Policy"). Under the Policy, proposed services either (i) may be pre-approved by the Audit Committee without consideration of specific case-by-case services ("general pre-approval"); or (ii) require the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee ("specific pre-approval"). General pre-approval applies to services of recurring and predictable nature. These types of services, once approved by the Audit Committee in the beginning, will not require further approval in future, except when actual fees and expenses exceed pre-approved budget levels. In such a case, the Audit Committee may authorize one of its members to approve budget increases subject to the requirement that such member

provide a report on his decision to approve or deny an application for budget increases to the Audit Committee at an Audit Committee meeting held immediately after such member grants or denies the approval.

Specific pre-approval applies to all other services. These services must be approved by the Audit Committee on a case-by-case basis after an application including proposed budget and scope of services to be provided by our independent auditors is submitted to the Audit Committee.

For 2008 and 2009, all of the services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

ITEM 16G

Corporate Governance

Comparison of New York Stock Exchange corporate governance rules and China corporate governance rules for listed companies: under the amended Corporate Governance Rules of New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), foreign issuers (including the Company) listed on the NYSE are required to disclose a summary of the significant differences between their domestic corporate governance rules and NYSE corporate governance rules that would apply to a U.S. domestic issuer. A summary of such differences is listed below:

NYSE corporate governance rules		Corporate governance rules applicable to the domestically listed companies in China and the Company’s governance practices
Director Independence

A listed company must have a majority of independent directors on its board of directors. No director qualifies as “independent’’ unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the listed company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the company). In addition, a director must meet certain standards to be deemed independent. For example, a director is not independent if the director is, or has been within the last three years, an employee of the listed company, or if the director has received, during any twelve-month period within the last three years, more than US$120,000 in direct compensation from the listed company.		It is required in China that any listed company must establish an independent director system and set forth specific requirements for the qualification of independent directors. For example, an independent director shall not hold any other position in the listed company other than being a director and shall not be influenced by the main shareholders or the controlling persons of the listed company, or by any other entities or persons with whom the listed company has a significant relationship. The Company has complied with the relevant Chinese corporate governance rules and has implemented internal rules governing the independence and responsibilities of independent directors. The Company determines the independence of independent directors every year.

To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, the non-management directors of each listed company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.		No similar requirements.

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors.		The board of directors of a listed company may, through the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting, establish a nominating committee composed entirely of directors, of which the

		independent directors shall be the majority and the convener. The Company has established a nominating committee.

The nominating/corporate governance committee must have a written charter that addresses the committee’s purposes and responsibilities which, at minimum, must be to: search for eligible people for the board of directors, select and nominate directors for the next session of the shareholders’ annual meeting, study and propose corporate governance guidelines, supervise the evaluation of the board of directors and management, and evaluate the performance of the committee every year.		Relevant responsibilities of the nominating/corporate governance committee are similar to those stipulated by the NYSE rules, but the main responsibilities do not include the research and recommendation of corporate governance guidelines, the supervision of the evaluation of the board of directors and management, or the annual evaluation of the committee.

Compensation Committee

Listed companies must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.		The board of directors of a listed company can, through the resolution of shareholders’ meeting, have a compensation and evaluation committee composed entirely of directors, of whom the independent directors are the majority and act as the convener.
The written charter of the compensation committee must state, at least, the following purposes and responsibilities:		The responsibilities are similar to those stipulated by the NYSE rules, but the committee is not required to produce a report on the executive compensation or make an annual performance evaluation of the committee. The board of directors of the Company has established a compensation and evaluation committee composed mainly of independent directors who act as the convener, and the committee has a written charter.

(1)	review and approve the corporate goals associated with CEO’s compensation, evaluate the performance of the CEO in fulfilling these goals, and based on such evaluation determine and approve the CEO’s compensation level;

(2)	make recommendations to the board with respect to non-CEO executive officer compensation, and incentive-compensation and equity-based plans that are subject to board approval;

(3)	produce a committee report on executive compensation as required by the SEC to be included in the annual proxy statement or annual report filed with the SEC.

The charter must also include the requirement for an annual performance evaluation of the compensation committee.

Audit Committee

Listed companies must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 of Exchange Act. It must have a minimum of three members, and all audit committee members must satisfy the requirements for independence set forth in Section 303A.02 of NYSE Corporate Governance Rules as well as the requirements of Rule 10A-3b (1) of the Exchange Act.		The board of directors of a listed company can, through the resolution of the shareholders’ meeting, establish an audit committee composed entirely of directors, of which the independent directors are the majority and act as the convener, and, at minimum, one independent director is an accounting professional.

The written charter of the audit committee must specify that the purpose of the audit committee is to assist the board oversight of the integrity of financial statements, the company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, qualifications and independence of independent auditors and the performance of the listed company’s internal audit function and independent auditors.		The responsibilities of the audit committee are similar to those stipulated by the NYSE rules, but according to the domestic practices, the Company is not required to make an annual performance evaluation of the audit committee, and the audit committee is not required to prepare an audit report to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement. The Board of Directors of the Company has established an audit committee that satisfies relevant domestic requirements and the audit committee has a written charter.
The written charter must also require the audit committee to prepare an audit committee report as required by the SEC to be included in the listed company’s annual proxy statement as well as an annual performance evaluation of the audit committee.

Each listed company must have an internal audit department.		China has a similar regulatory provision, and the Company has an internal audit department.

Shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on equity-compensation plans and material revisions thereto, except for employment incentive plans, certain awards and plans in the context of mergers and acquisitions.		The relevant regulations of China require the board of directors to propose plans on the amount and types of director compensation for the shareholders’ meeting to approve. The compensation plan of executive officers is subject to approval by the board and announced at the shareholders’ meeting and disclosed to the public upon the approval of the board of directors.

Corporate governance guidelines
Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines, involving director qualification standards, director compensation, director continuing education, annual performance evaluation of the board of directors, etc.		CSRC has issued the Corporate Governance Rules, with which the Company has complied.

Code of ethics for directors, officers and employees
Listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers.		China does not have such requirement for a code for ethics. But, the directors and officers must perform their legal responsibilities in accordance with the Company Law of PRC, relative requirements of CSRC and Mandatory Provisions to the Charter of Companies Listed Overseas.

Each listed company’s CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the Company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards and he or she must promptly notify the NYSE on writing of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A.		No similar requirements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders of Huaneng Power International, Inc.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Item 15 appearing on page 87 of the Annual Report on Form 20-F-2009. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As described in Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting of the Annual Reports on Form 20-F, management has excluded Huaneng Beijing Co-generation Limited Liability Company (“Beijing Cogeneration”) and Tianjin Huaneng Yangliuqing Co-generation Limited Liability Company (“Yangliuqing Power Company”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 because Beijing Cogeneration and Yangliuqing Power Company were acquired during 2009. We have also excluded these entities from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Their total assets in aggregate represent 4% and total revenues in aggregate represent

2%, of the Company's related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

	The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

	(a)	Basis of preparation

	These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets and derivative financial assets and liabilities. This basis of accounting differs from that used in the preparation of the statutory financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (“PRC statutory financial statements”). The PRC statutory financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries comprising the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant accounting principles and regulations applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, as appropriate in the PRC. Appropriate adjustments have been made to the PRC statutory financial statements to conform to IFRS. Differences arising from the restatement have not been incorporated in the statutory accounting records of the Company and its subsidiaries.

	The consolidated financial statements are expressed in Renminbi (“RMB”), the national currency of the PRC. Solely for the convenience of the reader, the December 31, 2009 financial statements have been translated into United States Dollars (US$) at the rate of US$1.00=RMB 6.8282 announced by the People's Bank of China on December 31, 2009. No representation is made that Renminbi amounts could have been, or could be, converted into US$ at the rate on December 31, 2009, or at any other certain rate.

	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company and its subsidiaries’ accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

	(a)	Basis of preparation (cont’d)

	As of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, a portion of the Company and its subsidiaries’ funding requirements for capital expenditures were partially satisfied by short-term financing. Consequently, as of December 31, 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries have a negative working capital balance of approximately RMB 35.4 billion. Taking into consideration of the expected operating cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries and the undrawn available banking facilities, the Company and its subsidiaries will refinance and / or restructure certain short-term borrowings into long-term borrowings and also consider alternative sources of financing, where applicable. Therefore, the directors of the Company are of the opinion that the Company and its subsidiaries will be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due within the next twelve months and have prepared these consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis.

	The following new standards and amendments to standards are adopted for the first time to the financial year beginning January 1, 2009.

	•	International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 1 (revised), ‘Presentation of financial statements’. The revised standard prohibits the presentation of items of income and expenses (i.e. ‘non-owner changes in equity’) in the statement of changes in equity, requiring ‘non-owner changes in equity’ to be presented separately from owner changes in equity. All ‘non-owner changes in equity’ to be required to be shown in a performance statement.

		Entities can choose whether to present one performance statement (the statement of comprehensive income) or two statements (the income statement and statement of comprehensive income).

		The Company and its subsidiaries elected to present one performance statement and these financial statements have been prepared under the revised disclosure requirements. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation, there is no impact on earnings per share.

	•	Amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 27, ‘Cost of an investment in a subsidiary, jointly controlled entity and associate’. The amendment to the part of IAS 27 is relevant to the Company and its subsidiaries. The amendments to IAS 27 remove the definition of cost method and require an entity to record dividend income from its subsidiaries or associates when its rights to receive the dividends are established, i.e. including dividend distributed out of pre-acquisition and post-acquisition retained earnings in the statement of comprehensive income. The Company and its subsidiaries early apply this amendment prospectively from January 1, 2009 in their separate financial statements. These amendments have no material impact on those financial statements in the current year.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

	(a)	Basis of preparation (cont’d)

	The following new standards and amendments to standards are adopted for the first time to the financial year beginning January 1, 2009. (cont’d)

	•	IFRS 8, ‘Operating segments’. IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 ‘Segment reporting’ and requires a ‘management approach’ under which segment information is presented on the same basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. This has resulted in separation of port operations out of the original PRC geographical segment and included in ‘all other segments’ and Singapore geographical segment is grouped into the PRC geographical segment without port operations as a single ‘power segment’. In addition, the segment information disclosed is based on the information for internal reporting purpose which is under China Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises (“PRC GAAP”).

		Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision makers. The chief operating decision makers have been identified as directors and certain senior management of the Company that make strategic decisions.

		IFRS 8 amends certain disclosure items which the Company and its subsidiaries have restated comparative information accordingly.

	•	Amendment to IFRS 7, ‘Financial instruments: disclosures’. The amendment enhances the disclosure requirements about fair value measurement and reinforces existing principles for disclosure about liquidity risk. The amendment introduces a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement disclosures and requires some specific quantitative disclosures for financial instruments on the lowest level in the hierarchy. It also requires the Company and its subsidiaries to provide additional disclosures about the relative reliability of fair value measurements. In addition, the amendment clarifies and enhances the existing requirements for the disclosure of liquidity risk primarily requiring a separate liquidity risk analysis for derivative and non-derivative financial liabilities. As the change in accounting policy only results in additional disclosures, there is no impact on earnings per share.

	•	The IASB has issued an improvement document in May 2008 and one of the amendments to IFRS 7 required the exclusion of interest income from net financial expenses. The Company and its subsidiaries have separately presented interest income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the current year and restated prior period comparative accordingly. Since the change in accounting policy only impacts presentation, there is no impact on earnings per share.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

	(b)	Consolidation

	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries made up to December 31.

		(i) Subsidiaries

		Subsidiaries are investees over which the Company and its subsidiaries have the power to exercise control, i.e. the power to govern the financial and operating policies and obtains benefits from the operating activities of the investees. When determining whether the Company and its subsidiaries exercise control over an investee, the impact from potential voting rights of the investee, such as currently convertible bonds and exercisable warrants, etc. is taken into account.

		Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when control is transferred to the Company and its subsidiaries. They are de-consolidated from the date when control ceases. All the significant intra-group balances, transactions and unrealized profit or loss are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The portion of the shareholders’ equity of the subsidiaries, which is not attributable to the parent company, is separately presented as minority interests in the shareholders’ equity in the consolidated financial statements.

		When there is any inconsistency on the accounting policies or financial period adopted between subsidiaries and the Company, the financial statements of subsidiaries are adjusted according to the accounting policies or financial period adopted by the Company.

		The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisitions of subsidiaries by the Company and its subsidiaries (including acquisitions from common control shareholders). The acquisition cost is measured at the fair value of the assets given and liabilities incurred or assumed on the acquisition date, plus costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of acquisition costs over the proportionate share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill (Note 2(g)). If acquisition costs are less than the proportionate share of the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in profit and loss.

	(b)	Consolidation (cont’d)

		(ii) Transactions with minority interests

		The Company and its subsidiaries regard transactions with minority interests as transactions with parties external to the Company and its subsidiaries. Disposals to minority interests result in gains and losses to the Company and its subsidiaries are recorded in profit and loss. Purchases from minority interests result in goodwill, being the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant equity share acquired of the carrying amounts of net assets of the subsidiaries.

		(iii) Associates

		Associates are investees over which the Company and its subsidiaries have significant influence on the financial and operation decisions. Investments in associates are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently measured using the equity method of accounting. The excess of the initial investment cost over the proportionate share of the fair value of identifiable net assets of investee acquired is included in the initial investment cost (Note 2(g)). Any shortfall of the initial investment cost to the proportionate share of the fair value of identifiable net assets of investee acquired is recognized in current period profit and loss and long-term investment cost is adjusted accordingly.

		When applying equity method, the Company and its subsidiaries adjust net profit or loss of the investees, including the fair value adjustments on the net identifiable assets of the associates and the adjustments to align with the accounting policies of the Company and different financial periods. Current period investment income is then recognized based on the proportionate share of the Company and its subsidiaries in the investees’ net profit or loss. Net losses of investees are recognized to the extent of book value of long-term equity investments and any other constituting long-term equity investments in investees in substance.

		The Company and its subsidiaries will continue to recognize investment losses and provision if they bear additional obligations which meet the recognition criteria under the provision standard. The Company and its subsidiaries adjust the carrying amount of the investment and directly recognize into related other comprehensive income and equity items based on their proportionate share on other shareholders’ other comprehensive income and equity movements of the investees other than net profit or loss, given there is no change in shareholding ratio. When the investees appropriate profit or declare dividends, the book value of long-term equity investments are reduced correspondingly by the proportionate share of the distribution. Profit or loss from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and the associates is eliminated to the extent of interest of the Company and its subsidiaries in the associates. Loss from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries and the associates is fully recognized and not eliminated when there is evidence for asset impairment.

		(iii) Associates (cont’d)

		Gains and losses arising from dilution of investments in associates are recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

	(c)	Segment reporting

	The Company and its subsidiaries determine the operation segment based on the internal organization structure, management requirement and internal reporting system and thereafter determine the reportable segment and present the segment information.

	An operating segment represents a component of the Company and its subsidiaries that meets all the conditions below: (i) the component earns revenue and incurs expenses in its daily operating activities; (ii) chief operating decision makers of the Company and its subsidiaries can regularly review the operating results of the component in order to make decisions on allocating resources and assessing performance; (iii) the financial position, operating results, cash flows and other related financial information of the component are available. When the two or more operating segments exhibit similar economic characteristics and meet certain conditions, the Company and its subsidiaries will combine them as one reportable segment.

	(d)	Foreign currency translation

		(i) Functional and presentation currency

		Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company and its subsidiaries are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Renminbi (“RMB”), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

		(ii) Transactions and balances

		Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rate on the transaction dates. On balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currency at the spot exchange rate on balance sheet date. Exchange differences are directly expensed in current period profit and loss unless they arises from foreign currency loans borrowed for purchasing or construction of qualifying assets which is eligible for capitalization and qualifying cash flow hedges which are deferred in equity.

	(d)	Foreign currency translation (cont’d)

		(iii) Group companies

		The operating results and financial position of the foreign subsidiaries are translated into presentation currency as follows:

		Asset and liability items in each balance sheet of foreign operations are translated at the closing rates at the balance sheet date; equity items excluding retained earnings are translated at the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Income and expense items in the statement of comprehensive income of the foreign operations are translated at average exchange rates approximating the rate on transaction dates. All resulting translation differences above are recognized as a separate component of equity.

		The cash flows denominated in foreign currencies and cash flows of overseas subsidiaries are translated at average exchange rates approximating the rates at the dates when cash flows incurred. The impact of the foreign currency translation on the cash and cash equivalents is presented in the statement of cash flows separately.

		When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold, translation differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as part of the disposal gain or loss.

	(e)	Property, plant and equipment

		Property, plant and equipment consists of port facilities, buildings, electric utility plant in service, transportation facilities, others and construction-in-progress (“CIP”). Property, plant and equipment acquired or constructed are initially recognized at cost and carried at the net value of cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

		Cost of CIP comprises construction expenditures, other expenditures necessary for the purpose of preparing the CIP for its intended use and those borrowing costs incurred before the assets ready for intended use that are eligible for capitalization. CIP is not depreciated until such time as the relevant asset is completed and ready for its intended use.

		Subsequent costs about property, plant and equipment are included in the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. Other subsequent expenditures not qualifying for capitalization are charged in the current period profit or loss when they are incurred.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

	(e)	Property, plant and equipment (cont’d)

	Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided based on book value less estimated residual value over estimated useful life using straight-line method. For those impaired property, plant and equipment, depreciation is provided based on book value after deducting impairment provision over estimated useful life. The estimated useful lives are as follows:

		Estimated useful lives
	Port facilities	20 – 40 years
	Buildings	8 – 35 years
	Electric utility plant in service	5 – 35 years
	Transportation facilities	6 – 14 years
	Others	3 – 18 years

	At the end of each year, the Company and its subsidiaries review the estimated useful life, residual value and the depreciation method of the property, plant and equipment for adjustment when necessary.

	Property, plant and equipment is derecognized when they are disposed of, or expected that cannot bring economic benefit through use or disposal. The amount of disposal income arising from sale, transfer, disposal or write-off of the property, plant and equipment less book value and related tax expenses is recorded in ‘operating expenses – others’ in the statement of comprehensive income.

	The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is written down immediately to its recoverable amount when its carrying amount is greater than its recoverable amount (Note 2(h)).

	(f)	Power generation licence

	The Company and its subsidiaries acquired the power generation licence as part of the business combination with Tuas Power Ltd. (“Tuas Power”). The power generation licence is initially recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. It is of indefinite useful life and is not amortized. It is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment loss. Useful life of the power generation licence is reviewed by the Company and its subsidiaries each financial period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life assessment.

	(g)	Goodwill

	Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the share of the Company and its subsidiaries on the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary / associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill arising from acquisitions of associates is included in ‘investments in associates’ and is tested for impairment as part of the overall balance. Separately recognized goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. Impairment loss on goodwill is not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

2.	PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

	(g)	Goodwill (cont’d)

	When performing impairment test, the carrying amount of goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units (“CGUs”) according to synergy effect arising from the business combination (Note 14). The Company and its subsidiaries allocate goodwill to those CGUs based on operating regions.

	(h)	Impairment of investments in subsidiaries, associates and non-financial assets

	Separately presented goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment at least annually regardless of whether there are indications of impairment. Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets with definite useful lives and long-term equity investments not accounted for as financial assets are tested for impairment when there is any impairment indication on balance sheet date. If impairment test result shows that the recoverable amount of asset is less than its book value, that difference is recognized as impairment provision. Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less cost to sell of the asset and present value of its expected future cash flows. Asset impairment is calculated and recognized on individual asset basis. If it is difficult to estimate recoverable amount for the individual assets, the recoverable amount is determined based on the recoverable amount of the CGU to which asset belongs. CGU is the smallest group of assets that independently generates cash flows.

	Except for goodwill, all impaired non-financial assets are subject to review for possible reversal of impairment at each reporting date.

	(i)	Financial assets

	Financial assets are classified as the following categories at initial recognition: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale. The classification depends on the intention and ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to hold the financial assets.

		(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

		Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Derivatives are classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

		(ii) Loans and receivables

		Loans and receivables refer to the non-derivative financial assets for which there is no quotation in the active market with fixed or determinable amount. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which these are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are primarily classified as ‘accounts receivable’, ‘other receivables and assets’, ‘loans to subsidiaries’, ‘other non-current assets’ and ‘bank balances and cash’ in the balance sheets.

	(i)	Financial assets (cont’d)

		(iii) Available-for-sale financial assets

		Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and held-to-maturity financial assets. They are included in current assets when management intends to dispose of the available-for-sale financial assets within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

		(iv) Recognition and measurement

		Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized at fair value initially on trade-date – the date on which the Company and its subsidiaries commit to purchase or sell the asset. Transaction costs relating to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are directly expensed in the profit and loss as incurred. Transaction costs for other financial assets are included in the carrying amount of asset at initial recognition. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or all risks and rewards related to the ownership of the financial assets have been transferred to the transferee.

		Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale are subsequently measured at fair value. When an active market exists for a financial instrument, fair value is determined based on quoted prices in the active market. When no active market exists, fair value is determined by using valuation techniques. Valuation techniques includes making reference to the prices used by knowledgeable and willing parties in a recent transaction, the current fair value of other financial assets that are same in substance, discounted cash flow method and option pricing model, etc.. When applying valuation techniques, the Company and its subsidiaries use market parameters to the fullest extent possible and use specific parameters of the Company and its subsidiaries as little as possible. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using effective interest method.

		Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recorded in ‘loss from fair value change’.

		Except for impairment loss and translation differences on monetary financial assets, changes in the fair value of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. When these financial assets are derecognized, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the statement of comprehensive income as ‘investment income’. Dividends on available-for-sale financial assets are recorded in ‘investment income’ when the right of the Company and its subsidiaries to receive payments is established.

	(i)	Financial assets (cont’d)

		(v) Impairment of financial assets

		Except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the Company and its subsidiaries perform assessment on the book value of financial assets on balance sheet date. Provision for impairment is made when there is objective evidence showing that a financial asset is impaired.

		When there is significant or prolonged decline in fair value of the available-for-sale financial asset, changes in the fair value that originally recorded in equity is recorded as impairment loss. Impairment loss on available-for-sale equity instrument is not reversed through profit and loss.

		When financial assets carried at amortized cost are impaired, the carrying amount of the financial assets is reduced to present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred). The impaired amount is recognized as assets impairment loss in the current period. If there is objective evidence that the value of the financial assets is recovered as a result of objective changes in circumstances occurring after the impairment loss was originally recognized, the originally recognized impairment loss is reversed through the profit and loss. For the impairment test of receivables, please refer to Note 2(j).

		(vi) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

		Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Gain or loss arising from subsequent change in the fair value of derivative financial instruments is recognized in profit and loss except for those effective portion of gain or loss on the derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges which is recognized directly in other comprehensive income. Cash flow hedge represents a hedge against the exposure to variability in cash flows, which such cash flow is originated from a particular risk associated with a highly probable forecast transactions and variable rate borrowings and could affect the statement of comprehensive income.

		The hedged items of cash flow hedge are the designated items with respect to the risks associated with future cash flow change of the Company and its subsidiaries. Hedging instruments are designated derivative for cash flow hedge whose cash flows are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of a hedged item.

		The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedge item is more than 12 months.

	(i)	Financial assets (cont’d)

		(vi) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities (cont’d)

		The Company and its subsidiaries document their assessments, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items. The Company and its subsidiaries apply ratio analysis method to evaluate the ongoing effectiveness of the cash flow hedge.

		The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘loss from fair value change’.

		Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to the profit and loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘interest expense’. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of exchange forward hedging foreign currency denominated payables is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘exchange gain and bank charges, net’. However, when the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the asset. In case the Company and its subsidiaries expect all or a portion of net loss previously recognized directly in other comprehensive income will not be recovered in future financial periods, the irrecoverable portion will be reclassified into profit and loss.

		When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the Company and its subsidiaries will discontinue hedge accounting. Any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the profit and loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the statement of comprehensive income within ‘loss from fair value change’.

	(j)	Loans and receivables

	Loans and receivables primarily including accounts receivable, notes receivable, other receivables, loan to subsidiaries, etc. are recognized initially at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost less provision for doubtful debts using the effective interest method.

	When there is objective evidence that the Company and its subsidiaries will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables, impairment test is performed on individual account and related provision for doubtful accounts is made based on the shortfall between carrying amounts and respective present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amounts of the receivables are reduced through the use of allowance accounts, and the amount of the provision is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘operating expenses – others’. When a receivable is uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance account for the receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against ‘operating expenses – others’ in the statement of comprehensive income.

	(k)	Inventories

	Inventories include fuel for power generation, materials for repairs and maintenance and spare parts, etc. and are stated at lower of cost and net realizable values.

	Inventories are initially recorded at cost and are charged to fuel costs or repairs and maintenance respectively when used, or capitalized to property, plant and equipment when installed, as appropriate, using weighted average cost basis. Cost of inventories includes costs of purchase and transportation costs.

	When the forecast transaction that is hedged results in the recognition of the inventory, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the inventory.

	Provision for inventory obsolescence is determined by the excess of cost over net realizable value. Net realizable values are determined based on the estimated selling price less estimated conversion costs during power generation, selling expenses and related taxes in the ordinary course of business.

		(iii) Current and deferred income tax (cont’d)

		On March 16, 2007, the National People’s Congress promulgated the “Corporate Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China” which became effective from January 1, 2008. Domestic entities of the Company and its subsidiaries which originally enjoyed preferential tax treatments will transit to 25% gradually in five years from January 1, 2008 onwards. Domestic subsidiaries with original applicable tax rate of 33% apply tax rate of 25% from January 1, 2008 onwards. Pursuant to Guo Fa [2007] 39 document, starting from January 1, 2008, entities which originally enjoyed two-year tax exemption and three-year 50% reduction tax treatments, continue to follow the original tax laws, administrative regulations and relevant documents until respective expiration dates. However, those not being entitled to preferential tax treatment as a result of tax losses, the preferential period started from 2008 onwards.

		The income tax rate applicable to Singapore subsidiaries changed from 18% in 2008 to 17% from January 1, 2009 onwards.

		Pursuant to Guo Shui Han [2009] 33 document, starting from January 1, 2008, the Company and its branches calculate and pay income tax on a combined basis according to relevant tax laws and regulations. The original regulation specifying locations for power plants and branches of the Company to make enterprise income tax payments was abolished. The income tax of subsidiaries remains to be calculated individually based on their individual operating results.

		Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the differences between tax bases of assets and liabilities and respective book value (temporary differences). For deductible tax losses or tax credit that can be brought forward in accordance with tax law requirements for deduction of taxable income in subsequent years, it is considered as temporary differences and related deferred income tax assets are recognized. No deferred income tax liability is recognized for temporary difference arising from initial recognition of goodwill. For those temporary differences arising from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a non-business combination transaction that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (or deductible loss) at the time of the transaction, no deferred income tax asset and liability is recognized.

		The Company and its subsidiaries recognize deferred income tax assets to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available to offset the deductible temporary difference, deductible tax loss and tax credit.

		On the balance sheet date, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or liability is settled.

		Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are offset when meeting all the conditions below:

			(1)	The Company and its subsidiaries have the legal enforceable right to settle current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities;

			(2)	Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to the income tax levied by the same tax authority of the Company and its subsidiaries.

	(s)	Revenue and income recognition

	Revenue is recognized based the following methods:

	Revenue and income are recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and its subsidiaries and the amount of the revenue and income can be measured reliably.

		(i) Electricity sales revenue

		Electricity sales revenue represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for electricity sold in the ordinary course of the activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (net of VAT or GST and after taking into account amounts received in advance). Revenue is earned and recognized upon transmission of electricity to the customers and the power grid controlled and owned by the respective regional or provincial grid companies.

		(i) Operating leases (lessee)

		Operating lease expenses are capitalized or expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

		(ii) Finance lease (lessor)

		The Company and its subsidiaries recognize the aggregate of the minimum lease receipts and the initial direct costs on the lease inception date as the receivable. The difference between the aggregate of the minimum lease receipts and the initial direct costs and sum of their respective present values is recognized as unrealized finance income. The Company and its subsidiaries adopt the effective interest method to allocate such unrealized finance income over the lease term. On balance sheet date, the Company and its subsidiaries present the net amount of finance lease receivable after deducting any unrealized finance income in non-current assets and current assets, respectively.

		Please refer to Note 2(i)(v) for impairment test on finance lease receivable.

	(z)	Standards and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective but relevant to the Company and its subsidiaries

	The following standards and amendments to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for the accounting periods of the Company and its subsidiaries beginning on or after January 1, 2010 or later, but the Company and its subsidiaries have not early adopted:

	•	IAS 24 (Revised), ‘Related party disclosures’ (effective for annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2011). The revised standard introduces an exemption from all of the disclosure requirements of IAS 24 for transactions among government-related entities and the government. Those disclosures are replaced with a requirement to disclose:

		-	the name of the government and the nature of their relationship; and
		-	the nature and amount of any individually-significant transactions; and
		-	the extent of any collectively-significant transactions qualitatively or quantitatively.

		It also clarifies and simplifies the definition of a related party. The Company and subsidiaries will apply this standard prospectively to related party disclosures from January 1, 2011.

	•	IAS 27 (Revised), 'Consolidated and separate financial statements' (effective for annual period beginning on or after July 1, 2009). The revised standard requires the effects of all transactions with non-controlling interests to be recorded in equity if there is no change in control and these transactions will no longer result in goodwill or gains and losses. The standard also specifies the accounting when control is lost. Any remaining interest in the entity is re-measured to fair value and a gain or loss is recognized in profit and loss. The Company and its subsidiaries will apply this standard prospectively to transactions with non-controlling interests from January 1, 2010.

	•	IAS 38 (Amendment), ‘Intangible Assets’ (effective for annual period beginning on or after July 1, 2009). The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in April 2009. The amendment clarifies guidance in measuring the fair value of an intangible asset acquired in a business combination and it permits the grouping of intangible assets as a single asset if each asset has similar economic useful lives. The Company and its subsidiaries will apply this amendment prospectively to all business combinations from January 1, 2010.

	•	IFRS 3 (Revised), ‘Business combinations’ (effective for annual period beginning on or after July 1, 2009). The revised standard continues to apply the acquisition method to business combinations, with some significant changes. For example, all payments to purchase a business are to be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, with contingent payments classified as debt subsequently re-measured through the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. There is a choice on an acquisition by acquisition basis to measure the non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. All acquisition-related costs should be expensed. The Company and subsidiaries will apply this standard prospectively to all business combinations from January 1, 2010.

	(z)	Standards and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective but relevant to the Company and its subsidiaries (cont’d)

		•	IFRS 5 (Amendment), ‘Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations’. The amendment is part of the IASB’s annual improvements project published in May 2008 and April 2009. The amendment provides clarification that IFRS 5 specifies the disclosures required in respect of non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as held for sale or discontinued operations. It clarifies that all assets and liabilities of a subsidiary are classified as held for sale if a partial disposal sale plan results in loss of control, and relevant disclosure should be made for this subsidiary if the definition of a discontinued operation is met. The amendment also clarifies that the general requirement of IAS 1 still apply, particularly paragraph 15 (to achieve a fair presentation) and paragraph 125 (sources of estimation uncertainty) of IAS 1. The Company and its subsidiaries and company will apply IFRS 5 (amendment) from January 1, 2010. It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company and its subsidiaries’ or the Company’s financial statements.

		•	IFRS 9, ‘Financial Instruments’ (effective for annual period beginning on or after January 1, 2013). The standard requires financial assets to be classified into two measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost. The decision is to be made at initial recognition. The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument. An instrument is subsequently measured at amortized cost only if it is a debt instrument and both the objective of the entity’s business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash flows, and the asset’s contractual cash flows represent only payments of principal and interest (that is, it has only ‘basic loan features’). All other debt instruments are to be measured at fair value through profit or loss. All equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value. Equity instruments that are held for trading will be measured at fair value through profit or loss. For all other equity investments, an irrevocable election can be made at initial recognition, to recognize unrealized and realized fair value gains and losses through other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. There is to be no recycling of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. This election may be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Dividends are to be presented in profit or loss, as long as they represent a return on investment. The Company and subsidiaries will apply this standard prospectively to financial instruments from January 1, 2013.

3.	FINANCIAL, CAPITAL AND INSURANCE RISKS MANAGEMENT

	(a)	Financial risk management

	Risk management, including the management on the financial risks, is carried out under the instruction of the Strategic Committee of Board of Directors and the Risk Management Team. The Company works out general principles for overall management as well as management policies covering specific areas. In considering the importance of risks, the Company identifies and evaluates risks at head office and individual power plant level, and requires analysis and proper communication for the information collected periodically.

	SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries are subject to financial risks that are different from the entities operating within the PRC. They have a series of controls in place to maintain the cost of risks occurring and the cost of managing the risks at an acceptable level. Management continually monitors the risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved. SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries have their written policies and financial authorization limits in place they are reviewed periodically. These financial authorization limits seek to mitigate and eliminate operational risks by setting approval thresholds required for entering into contractual obligations and investments

		(i)	Market risk

			(1) Foreign exchange risk

			Foreign exchange risk of the entities operating within the PRC primarily arises from loans denominated in foreign currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries. SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries are exposed to foreign exchange risk on accounts payable and other payables that are denominated primarily in US$, a currency other than Singapore dollar (“S$”), their functional currency. Please refer to Notes 22 and 25 for details. The Company and its subsidiaries manage exchange risk through closely monitoring interest and exchange market.

			As of December 31, 2009, if RMB had weakened / strengthened by 5% (2008 and 2007: 5%) against US$ and 3% (2008 and 2007: 3%) against € with all other variables constant, exchange gain of the Company and its subsidiaries would have been RMB 357 million (2008 and 2007: RMB 393 million and RMB 174 million) and RMB 31 million (2008 and 2007: RMB 16 million and RMB 20 million) lower / higher, respectively. The ranges of such sensitivity disclosed above were based on the observation on the historical trend of related exchange rates during the previous year under analysis.

			As of December 31, 2009, if S$ had weakened / strengthened by 10% (2008: 10%) against US$ with all other variables constant, exchange gain of SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries would have been RMB 93 million (2008: RMB 398 million) lower / higher, respectively. The ranges of such sensitivity disclosed above were based on the management’s experience and forecast.

			SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries also exposed to foreign exchange risk on fuel purchase that is denominated primarily in US$. They use forward exchange contracts to hedge almost all of its estimated foreign exchange exposure in respect of forecast fuel purchases over the following three months. The Company and its subsidiaries classify its forward foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges. Please refer to Note 13 for details.

			The available-for-sale financial assets of the Company and its subsidiaries are exposed to equity security price risk. The exposure of such a risk is presented on the balance sheets.

			Detailed information relating to the available-for-sale financial assets are disclosed in Note 10. Being a strategic investment in nature, the Company has a director in the Board of the investee and exercises in fluence in safeguarding the interest. The Company also closely monitors the pricing trends in the open market in determining their long-term strategic stakeholding decisions.

			The Company and its subsidiaries exposed to fuel price risk on fuel purchases. The Company and its subsidiaries entered into various long-term agreements to avoid the significant price changes. SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries also use fuel oil swap to hedge against such a risk and designate them as cash flow hedges. Please refer to Note 13 for details.

			(3) Cash flow interest rate risk

			The interest rate risk of the Company and its subsidiaries primarily arises from loans. Loans borrowed at variable rates expose the Company and its subsidiaries to cash flow interest rate risk. The exposures of these risks are disclosed in Note 22 to the financial statements. The Company will enter into interest rate swap agreements with banks when considered appropriate to hedge against cash flow interest rate risk.

			As of December 31, 2009, if interest rates on RMB-denominated borrowings had been 50 basis points (2008 and 2007: 50 basis points) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB 339million (2008 and 2007: RMB 294 million and RMB 198 million) higher/lower. If interest rates on US$-denominated borrowings had been 50 basis points (2008 and 2007: 50 basis points) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB 14 million (2008 and 2007: RMB 56 million and RMB 17 million) higher/lower. If interest rates on S$-denominated borrowings had been 100 basis points (2008: 100 basis points) higher/lower with all other variables held constant, interest expense for the year would have been RMB 150 million (2008: RMB 114 million) higher/lower. The ranges of such sensitivity disclosed above were based on the observation on the historical trend of related interest rates during the previous year under analysis.

			In the current year, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement to hedge against cash flow interest rate risk of a loan. According to the interest rate swap agreement, the Company agrees with the counterparty to settle the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional amounts quarterly until 2019. Please refer to Note 13 for details.

		(ii) Credit risk

		Credit risk arises from bank deposits, credit exposures to customers and other receivables. The maximum exposures of bank deposits, accounts and other receivables are disclosed in Notes 33, 18, and 17 to the financial statements, respectively.

		Bank deposits are placed with banks and financial institutions which are regulated, including which a significant portion is deposited with a non-bank financial institution which is a related party of the Company. The Company has a director in the Board of this non-bank financial institution and exercises influence. Corresponding maximum exposures of these bank deposits are disclosed in Note 34(a)(i) to the financial statements.

		Most of the power plants of the Company and its subsidiaries operating within PRC sell electricity generated to their sole customers, the power grid companies of their respective provinces or regions where the power plants operate. These power plants communicate with their individual grid companies periodically and believe that adequate provision for doubtful accounts have been made in the financial statements.

		SinoSing Power and its subsidiaries derive their revenue mainly from sale of electricity to the National Electricity Market of Singapore operated by Energy Market Company Pte Ltd., which is not expected to have high credit risk.

		A subsidiary of SinoSing Power also derives its revenue mainly from retailing electricity to consumers with monthly consumption of more than 10,000kWh. These customers engage in a wide spectrum of manufacturing and commercial activities in a variety of industries. The subsidiary holds cash deposits and guarantees from creditworthy financial institutions to secure substantial obligations of the customers.

		The concentrations of accounts receivable are disclosed in Note 5.

		(iii) Liquidity risk

		Liquidity risk management is to primarily ensure the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to meet its liabilities as and when they are fall due. The liquidity reserve comprises the undrawn borrowing facility and cash and cash equivalents available as of each month end in meeting its liabilities.

		The Company and its subsidiaries maintained flexibility in funding by cash generated by their operating activities and availability of committed credit facilities.

		Financial liabilities due within 12 months are presented as the current liabilities in the balance sheets. The repayment schedules of the long-term loans and long-term bonds and cash flows of derivative financial liabilities are disclosed in Notes 22, 23 and 13, respectively.

	(b)	Fair value estimation

			(i) Fair value measurements

			Effective January 1, 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries adopted the amendment to IFRS 7 for financial instruments that are measured in the balance sheet at fair value; this requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

			•	Level 1- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
			•	Level 2- Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
			•	Level 3- Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs).

			The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries that are measured at fair value at December 31, 2009.

3.	FINANCIAL, CAPITAL AND INSURANCE RISKS MANAGEMENT (CONT’D)

	(b)	Fair value estimation (cont’d)

		(i) Fair value measurements (cont’d)

		The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company and its subsidiaries is the current bid price. These instruments are included in level 1. Instruments included in level 1 comprise equity investment in Yangtze Power classified as available for sale.

		The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

		If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

		Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

		·	The forward exchange contracts and fuel oil swaps are both valued using quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
		·	The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.

		Instruments included in level 2 comprise forward exchange contracts, fuel oil swaps and interest rate swap.

		(ii) Fair value disclosures

		The carrying value less provision for doubtful accounts of accounts receivable, other receivables and assets, accounts payable and other liabilities, short-term bonds and short-term loans are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Company and its subsidiaries for similar financial instruments.

		The estimated fair value of long-term loans including current maturities and long-term bonds was approximately RMB 80.39 billion and approximately RMB 14.18 billion as of December 31, 2009 (2008: RMB 65.49 billion and RMB 11.31 billion), respectively. The aggregate book value of these liabilities was approximately RMB 80.52 billion and RMB 13.80 billion as of December 31, 2009 (2008: RMB 65.57 billion and RMB 9.83 billion), respectively.

3.	FINANCIAL, CAPITAL AND INSURANCE RISKS MANAGEMENT (CONT’D)

	(c)	Capital risk management

	The objectives of the Company and its subsidiaries when managing capital are to safeguard the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries in continuing as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

	The Company and its subsidiaries monitor capital by using debt ratio analysis. This ratio is calculated as total liabilities (sum of current liabilities and non-current liabilities) divided by total assets as shown in consolidated balance sheet. During 2009, the strategy of the Company and its subsidiaries remained unchanged from 2008. The debt ratio of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 was 74.41% (2008: 74.35%).

	(d)	Insurance risk management

	The Company and its subsidiaries issue contracts that transfer significant insurance risk.

	The risk relates to the financial guarantees provided to banks by the Company on the borrowings of an associate and a subsidiary. The risk under any one financial guarantee contract is the possibility that the insured event (default of a specified debtor) occurs and the uncertainty of the amount of the resulting claims. By the nature of a financial guarantee contract, this risk is predictable.

	Experience shows credit risks from the specified debtors are relatively remote. The Company maintains a close watch on the financial position and liquidity of the associate and subsidiary for which financial guarantees have been granted in order to mitigate such risks (Note 2(w)(ii)). The Company takes all reasonable steps to ensure that they have appropriate information regarding any claim exposures.

4.	CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

	Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

	The Company and its subsidiaries make estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

	(a)	Accounting estimates on impairment of goodwill and power generation licence

	The Company and its subsidiaries perform test annually whether goodwill and power generation licence have suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policies stated in Notes 2(g) and 2(f), respectively. The recoverable amounts of CGU or CGUs have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (Notes 14 and 12). It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial period that are different from assumptions could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of goodwill and power generation licence.

4.	CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS (CONT’D)

	(b)	Useful life of power generation licence

	As of year end, management of the Company and its subsidiaries considered the estimated useful life for its power generation licence as indefinite. This estimate is based on the expected renewal of power generation licence without significant restriction and cost, together with the consideration on related future cash flows generated and the expectation of management in continuous operations. Based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial period that are different from assumptions could require a change on carrying amount of power generation licence.

	(c)	Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

	Management of the Company decided the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and respective depreciation. The accounting estimate is based on the expected wears and tears incurred during power generation. Wears and tears can be significantly different following renovation each time. When the useful lives differ from the original estimated useful lives, management will adjust the estimated useful lives accordingly. It is possible that the estimates made based on existing experience are different to the actual outcomes within the next financial period and could cause a material adjustment to the depreciation and carrying amount of property, plant and equipment.

	(d)	Estimated impairment of property, plant and equipment

	The Company and its subsidiaries test whether property, plant and equipment suffered any impairment whenever any impairment indication exists. In accordance with Note 2(h), an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. It is reasonably possible, based on existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial period that are different from assumptions could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment.

	(e)	Approval of construction of new power plants

	The receiving of the ultimate approval from National Development and Reform Commission (“NDRC”) on certain power plant construction projects of the Company and its subsidiaries is a critical estimate and judgment of the directors. Such estimate and judgment are based on initial approval documents received as well as their understanding of the projects. Based on historical experience, the directors believe that the Company and its subsidiaries will receive final approval from NDRC on the related power plant projects. Deviation from the estimate and judgment could result in significant adjustment to the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment.

	Directors and certain senior management of the Company perform the function as chief operating decision makers (collectively referred to as the “senior management”). The senior management reviews the internal reporting of the Company and its subsidiaries in order to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company has determined the operating segments based on these reports. Currently, the operating segments of the Company were grouped into power segment and all other segments (port operations).

	Senior management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of profit / (loss) before income tax expense under PRC GAAP in related periods excluding dividend income received from available-for-sale financial assets and operating results of those centrally managed and resource allocation functions in headquarters. Other information provided, except as noted below, to the senior management of the Company is measured under PRC GAAP.

	Segment assets exclude prepaid income tax, deferred income tax assets, available-for-sale financial assets and assets related to those centrally managed and resource allocation functions in headquarters that are not attributable to any operating segment (“corporate assets”). Segment liabilities exclude current income tax liabilities, deferred income tax liabilities and liabilities related to those centrally managed and resource allocation functions in headquarters that are not attributable to any operating segment (“corporate liabilities”). These are part of the reconciliation to total balance sheet assets and liabilities.

	Impairment test of power generation licence

	Power generation licence belongs to the single CGU-Tuas Power. The recoverable amount of the CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculation. Management has based their assessment of recoverable amount on value-in-use calculations which includes cash flow projections of the CGU in Singapore electricity market in the following 20 years, together with an appropriate terminal value. The period of cash flows beyond 5 years was considered reasonable in the circumstances given that it approximates the useful lives of the underlying operating assets.

	Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculation:

	Management has assessed that, amongst all assumptions used in the value-in-use calculations, the most sensitive key assumption is the discount rate which was arrived at based on weighted average cost of capital. The discount rate applied in determining the recoverable amounts of the CGU was 6.9%. An absolute change in the discount rate of 0.5% would result in approximately RMB 1,531 million change in the recoverable amount of the CGU.

	Other key assumptions include projection of its business performance based on estimation of future electricity tariffs, volume of electricity sold, fuel prices and other operating expenses, which are largely based on advices from the financial advisor engaged and an external study conducted by industry specialist to project the market demand and supply situation, as well as forward trend of electricity prices. On average, the growth and inflation rate of 2.8% and 1.1% respectively was used in consideration of future expansion plans and new development projects as part of the long term strategy. The growth rate used did not exceed the long term average growth rate for the Singapore market.

	Based on the assessments, no impairment was provided for power generation licence.

	For the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, no material ineffective portion was recognized in the profit or loss arising from cash flow hedges.

	An overseas subsidiary of the Company uses exchange forward contracts to hedge its foreign exchange risk arising from highly probable forecast purchase transactions. The subsidiary also uses fuel oil swap contracts to hedge its fuel price risk arising from highly probable forecast purchases of fuel purchases.

	The Company uses an interest rate swap contract to hedge its interest rate risk against one of its variable-rate loans. The notional principal amount of the outstanding interest rate swap contract as of December 31, 2009 was US$ 400 million (2008: N/A). Through this arrangement, the Company pays an annual fixed interest at 4.40% while the original annual floating interest expense (6-month LIBOR+1%) attached in the loan is offset by the receivable leg of the interest rate swap. Such a swap is settled on a quarterly basis from September 2009 to September 2019.

	Impairment tests for goodwill

	Goodwill is allocated to the CGUs of the Company and its subsidiaries.

	The carrying amounts of significant goodwill allocated to individual CGUs which all of them belonged to power segment are as follows:

	2009		2008

Yueyang Power Company		100,907		100,907
Pingliang Power Company		107,735		107,735
Tuas Power		10,903,073		10,663,879
Beijing Cogeneration		103,286		-
Yangliuqing Power Company		151,459		-

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined based on value-in-use calculations. For domestic CGUs, these calculations use cash flow projections based on management’s financial budgets covering a five-year period. The Company expects cash flows beyond the five-year period will be similar to that of the fifth year based on existing production capacity. In connection to the goodwill arising from acquisition of Tuas Power, management has based its assessment of recoverable amount on value-in-use calculations which includes cash flow projections of the CGU in Singapore electricity market in the following 20 years, together with an appropriate terminal value. The period of cash flows beyond 5 years was considered reasonable in the circumstances given that it approximates the useful lives of the underlying operating assets. On average, the growth and inflation rate of 2.8% and 1.1% respectively was used in consideration of future expansion plans and new development projects as part of the long term strategy. The growth rate used did not exceed the long term average growth rate for the Singapore market.

14.	GOODWILL (CONT’D)

	Impairment tests for goodwill (cont’d)

	Discount rates used for value-in-use calculations:

	Yueyang Power Company		8.7%
	Pingliang Power Company		8.7%
	Tuas Power		6.9%
	Beijing Cogeneration		8.7%
	Yangliuqing Power Company		8.7%

	Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations:

	Key assumptions applied in the impairment tests include the expected tariff rates, demands of electricity in specific regions where these power plants are located and fuel cost. Management determined these key assumptions based on past performance and its expectations on market development. The discount rates used reflect specific risks relating to individual CGUs. Management believes that any reasonably possible change in any of these key assumptions on which recoverable amounts of individual CGUs are based may cause carrying amounts of individual CGUs to exceed their recoverable amounts.

	In 2009 and 2007, no goodwill was impaired. In 2008, based on the assessments, except for the goodwill arising from acquisition of Huaiyin Power Company, no goodwill was impaired. The management expects to shut down generators of Huaiyin Power Company in the future, full impairment of related goodwill was provided based on the result of impairment test.
