BEIJING, July 9 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011) today announced its power generation in the first half year of 2009.
According to the Company's preliminary statistics, as of June 30, 2009, the Company's total domestic power generation on consolidated basis amounted to 86.107 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 5.84% over the same period in 2008.
The decrease in the Company's power generation was mainly due to the following reasons:
1. Under the impact of the international financial crisis, the power
demand in the domestic market declined.
2. The new generating units are put into operation continuously, thus
leading to the decline in the average utilization hours of power
generation in the majority of the regions and a negative growth in the
Company's power generation.
The power generation of each of the Company's domestic power plants in the first half year of 2009 was listed below (in billion kWh):
