Special Notices
The Company and all members of the board of directors (the 'Board') warrant the
truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of the announcement, and jointly accept
the responsibility for any false representations or misleading statements
contained in, or material omissions from, this announcement.
This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules Governing the

Datang International Power Generation Co., Ltd. (the 'Company') would like to
announce that based on the Company's preliminary statistics, as of 30
September 2007, the total power generation of the Company and its subsidiaries
(the 'Group') in the first three quarters of 2007 amounted to 86.597 billion

previous year. The Group's total on-grid power generation was 81.539 billion
kWh, an increase of 31.88% when compared to the corresponding period of the
previous year.
The substantial increase in the Group's power generation for the first three
quarters of 2007 as compared with that of the previous year was mainly
attributable to the following factors:
1. Increased capacity of the Company's operating generation units: During
the second half of 2006, a number of new generation units of the Company's
subsidiaries have commenced operation, and thus substantially increasing the
Group's overall power generation capacity. Such subsidiaries include Zhejiang
Datang Wushashan Power Generation Company Limited ('Wushashan Power Company'),
Guangdong Datang International Chaozhou Power Generation Company Limited
('Chaozhou Power Company'), Fujian Datang International Ningde Power Generation
Company Limited ('Ningde Power Company'), Yunnan Datang International Honghe
Power Generation Company Limited ('Honghe Power Company'), and the Yayangshan
Hydropower Project of Yunnan Datang International Lixianjiang Hydropower
Development Company Limited ('Lixianjiang Hydropower Company'). Meanwhile,
hydropower projects including Longma and Tukahe of Lixianjiang Hydropower
Company also had new generation units commencing operation in July this year.
2. Increased demand in service areas: For the first three quarters of 2007,
the power demand within the service areas of the Company - the Beijing-
Tianjin-Tangshan Power Grid, the Shanxi Power Grid, the Gansu Power Grid, the
Yunnan Power Grid, the Zhejiang Power Grid and the Guangdong Power Grid -
continued to maintain rapid growth.
3. Improvement in operating reliability of generation units: For the first
three quarters of 2007, the Company achieved an equivalent availability factor
of 94.56%, representing an increase of 0.42 percentage point when compared
to 94.14% as in the corresponding period of the previous year.
4. The power generation obstruction problem at Hebei Datang International
Wangtan Power Generation Company Limited ('Wangtan Power Company'), a
subsidiary of the Company, was resolved and its generation units are now
operating in full capacity.
