                  Datang International Power Generation Co., Ltd.

          (a sino-foreign joint stock limited company incorporated in 
                       the People's Republic of China)

                             (Stock Code: 991)


                               ANNOUNCEMENT


This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the
Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.


On 10 January 2007, the State Environmental Protection Administration published
to the media a list of steel and iron, power and metallurgy projects which have
breached the State's environmental impact assessments and 'Three-Simultaneity'
policy (i.e. simultaneous design, construction, and checking and acceptance of
environmental protection facilities and the principal part of a development
project). The list includes the five 50 MW thermal power units operated by the
Company's controlling subsidiary, Hebei Datang International Tangshan Thermal
Power Generation Company Limited ('Tangshan Thermal Power Company'), and
Liancheng Power Plant Phase II Project operated by the Company's another
controlling subsidiary, Gansu Datang International Liancheng Power Generation
Company Limited ('Liancheng Power Company'). Relevant details of such cases are
set out below:


1.    Environmental protection is a primary policy target and fundamental State
      policy essential for the State's sustainable development. The Company 
      will strictly comply with and pro-actively execute any policies, rules and
      requirements issued by the State Environmental Protection Administration.


2.    Tangshan Thermal Power Company is responsible for the thermal energy 
      supply to residents and users within the Tangshan region, which has an 
      area of approximately 14 million square metres. As it is presently the 
      heating period, the closure of the five 50 MW thermal power units will 
      have considerable impacts on the thermal energy supply. The Company is 
      discussing with the relevant authorities in the Tangshan region to 
      gradually close down the five 50 MW thermal power units effective from 
      today, in accordance with the requirements of the State Environmental 
      Protection Administration. The detailed schedule for the closure of the 
      relevant generation units is currently being discussed.


3.    After the commencement of operation, Liancheng Power Plant Phase II 
      Project has commenced the desulphurisation project, in order to achieve a 
      higher level of environmental protection performance. However, due to the 
      limited size of the desulphurisation area and the need to relocate the 
      environmental protection checkpoints on the pipelines and flues of certain
      environmental protection facilities, the site failed to meet the check and
      acceptance inspection for environmental protection facilities under the 
      'Three-Simultaneity' policy, thereby preventing the project from applying 
      for the environmental protection check and acceptance inspection as
      scheduled. The desulphurisation project of the Liancheng Power Plant Phase
      II Project is expected to commence operation in March 2007, and the 
      Company is actively applying to the relevant State authorities for the
      environmental protection check and acceptance inspection for the project.


4.    The Company will actively coordinate with various parties and implement
      environmental protection measures, so as to meet the requirements of the
      State Environmental Protection Administration as soon as practicable. 
      According to the actual progress of the construction projects of the 
      Company, the State Environmental Protection Administration's action 
      against the Company will have no significant impact on the Company's 
      construction projects.


The Company sincerely hopes that investors can understand the realities about
the Company, focusing on the Company's future development prospects and
maintaining the attention and support to the Company.

The Company would also like to remind investors of the investment risks
involved.
