                              OF COUNTER-GUARANTEE


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 Listing of Securities on The Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.


I.           Information of the Guarantee


             At the fourth meeting (the 'Meeting') of the sixth session of the Board of Datang International Power
             Generation Co., Ltd. (the 'Company') held on 11 January 2008, the 'Resolution on the Acquisition of
             a 90% Equity Interest in Zhenxing Power Co., Ltd. and the Provision of Counter-guarantee for the Loan of
             Datang International (Hong Kong) Limited' was considered and approved.


             The Board agreed that Datang International (Hong Kong) Limited ('Datang Hong Kong'), a wholly-owned
             subsidiary of the Company, would acquire 90% of the equity interest in Zhenxing Power Co., Ltd. (    )
             ('Zhenxing Power'), so as to indirectly control Qinghai-AES Power Co., Ltd. (     )
             and operate the 4 x 38MW hydropower generating units of Qinghai Zhiganglaka Hydropower Station.


             To complete the afore-mentioned acquisition, Datang Hong Kong intends to obtain a loan from Bank of China
             (Hong Kong) Limited ('BOCHK'). Bank of China Limited ('BOC') intends to provide a guarantee to BOCHK
             in respect of the loan granted to Datang Hong Kong through the issuance of a bank guarantee, and the Board
             agreed that the Company would provide a counter-guarantee to BOC for the guarantee provided in respect of
             the loan granted to Datang Hong Kong.  The counter-guarantee will be provided on a joint-liability basis.


             Pursuant to the 'Loan Contract' entered into between Datang Hong Kong and BOCHK, the principal amount
             of the loan granted to Datang Hong Kong is HK$700 million, with a  term of 12 months beginning from the
             date of initial withdrawal by Datang Hong Kong. BOC has issued to BOCHK a bank guarantee for a principal
             amount of HK$700 million (the 'Bank Guarantee') on 29 January 2008 to guarantee due repayment of the
             loan granted to Datang Hong Kong under the 'Loan Contract'. On 2 February 2008, the Company entered
             into the 'Counter-guarantee Contract' with BOC to provide the counter-guarantee for the guarantee
             provided by BOC in respect of the loan granted to Datang Hong Kong. The scope of the counter-guarantee
             covers all amounts advanced by BOC to Datang Hong Kong under the Bank Guarantee.


II.          Information of the Guaranteed Party


             Datang Hong Kong is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company established in Hong Kong in 2004, with its
             registered address at Suite 2501, Two Pacific Place, 88 Queensway, Hong Kong and its registered capital of
             US$2.9 million. Currently, Datang Hong Kong is primarily engaged in the trading of coal and four major
             types of pipe for use in power plants.


             As at the end of December 2007, the total assets, total liabilities, net assets, asset-to-liability ratio
             and net profit of Datang Hong Kong were HK$97.95 million, HK$60.80 million, HK$37.15 million, 69.13% and
             HK$3.69 million, respectively (all such data are unaudited).


III.         Major Terms of the Guarantee Agreement


             As BOC issued the Bank Guarantee to BOCHK for Datang Hong Kong on 29 January 2008 in respect of a
             principal amount of HK$700 million, the Company provides a counter-guarantee to BOC. The scope of the
             counter-guarantee covers the entire amount to be advanced by BOC to Datang Hong Kong pursuant to the Bank
             Guarantee. The term of the counter-guarantee is 2 years, from the effective date of the Bank Guarantee to
             the expiry date of the Bank Guarantee. The counter-guarantee will be provided on a joint-liability basis.


IV.          Opinion of the Board


             The Board is of the view that Datang Hong Kong's acquisition of the 90% equity interest in Zhenxing
             Power will benefit the development of Datang Hong Kong and will be in line with the Company's overseas
             development strategy. The Board hereby agrees to provide a counter-guarantee to BOC for the loan granted
             to Datang Hong Kong.


V.           Total Amount of External Guarantees and Amount of Overdue Guarantees


             As at 31 December 2007, the Company's total amount of external guarantees was RMB5,957,870,000
             (unaudited), representing 22.94% of the audited net assets in the latest financial report. Such guarantees
             are all made by the Company for the subsidiaries and associates of the Company and there are no overdue
             guarantees.
