                                            Issue of Short-term Debenture



This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09(1)(a) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the 'Listing Rules').



Pursuant to the requirements as set out in Rules 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules, the issue of the short-term debenture
does not constitute any transactions within its meaning prescribed therein.



At the 2005 annual general meeting of Datang International Power Generation Co., Ltd. (the 'Company') (the 'AGM')
held on 20 June 2006, the Company was authorised to issue short-term debenture with an aggregate principal amount of
not more than RMB4 billion. The authorisation will be effective within a 12-month period from the date of the AGM
approving the issuance. The Company has already obtained an approval from the People's Bank of China on 4 September
2006 for the issue of the short-term debenture.



The Company intends to issue the first batch of the short-term debenture (the 'Debenture') with a principal amount
of RMB1 billion on 15 September 2006. China Minsheng Banking Corporation Limited will act as the lead underwriter for
the issue of the Debenture. The issue of the Debenture will be issued publicly in the inter-bank market by the lead
underwriter through a centralised placing process. The interest rate will be determined through tendering in the
market. The issue period will be 270 days. The nominal value of the Debenture will be RMB100, while the minimum
subscription amount will be RMB10 million. Such Debenture will be listed and traded in the inter-bank bond market of
the People's Republic of China (the 'PRC') on 19 September 2006, with the redemption date falling on 15 June
2007.



The proceeds of the issue of the Debenture will be used for replenishing the short-term cash flow required by the
Company and the Company's working capital. The targets for the issue of the Debenture will be institutional
investors in the inter-bank bond market of the PRC (excluding those who are forbidden by the State's Laws or
regulations to subscribe).
