Special Notice:

The Company and all members of the Board warrant that there are no false 
representations and misleading statements contained in, or material omissions
from this announcement, and severally and jointly accept the responsibility

This announcement is made pursuant to Rules 13.09(1) and 13.09(2) of the 
Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong
Limited.


After negotiation between Datang International Power Generation Co., Ltd. 
(the "Company") and Datang Huayin Electric Power., Ltd. ("Huayin Power"), 
the parties intend to cooperate to carry out the preliminary works of the 
"replacing small units with larger ones" power generation project for power 
plant with a capacity of 2x1000MW at Leizhou, Guangdong (the "Leizhou Power 
Generation Project").  

The Leizhou Power Generation Project is located at Leizhou, Zhanjiang, 
Guangdong Province. In accordance with the mode of "replacing small units 
with larger ones", two 1,000MW ultra-supercritical generation units will be 
constructed and desulfurization and denitrification equipment will be 
simultaneously installed, together with the construction of two 
100,000-tonne coal unloading docks and one 3,000-tonne heavy cargo dock. The 
project is expected to involve an investment of RMB8.6 billion.

The Leizhou Power Generation Project will be filed for obtaining approval 
under the intended mode of construction by the joint investment of the 
Company and Huayin Power according to the equity ratio of 50%:50%. After the 
approval of the project, each of the Company and Huayin Power will register 
a company respectively, and proceed to the next stage of work in accordance 
with the principle of constructing one generation unit by each party, 
entrusted management, separate accounting and individual consolidation of 
financial statements.

The above matter represents the mutual intention of the parties to cooperate,
which is still of uncertainty, and has not been submitted to the board of 
directors of the Company for consideration and approval. Given that the 
Company and Huayin Power are the subsidiaries of China Datang Corporation, 
the controlling shareholder of the Company, the investment in the joint 
construction of the Leizhou Power Generation Project will constitute a 
connected transaction of the Company. For details of the specific investment 
matter, the Company will carry out the approval and disclosure procedures 
for obtaining the approval by the board of directors and/or by the 
shareholders at the general meeting after obtaining the approval of the 
Leizhow Power Generation Project.
