                                             SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT AND

                                             DELAY IN DESPATCH OF CIRCULAR



Reference is made to the Announcement in respect of the Investment Agreement which constitutes a major transaction of
the Company under the Listing Rules.



METHOD OF APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS



Since no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting to approve the
Investment Agreement and the Company has obtained written confirmation approving the Investment Agreement from each of
China Datang Corporation, Beijing Energy Investment (Group) Company, Hebei Construction Investment Company and Tianjin
Jinneng Investment Company, who together hold an aggregate of 3,732,180,000 domestic Shares representing approximately
72.29% of the issued share capital of the Company, the shareholders' approval requirement under Rule 14.40 of the
Listing Rules has therefore been satisfied by means of written Shareholders' approval pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the
Listing Rules and a general meeting of the Company to approve the Investment Agreement will not be held.



DELAY IN DESPATCH OF CIRCULAR



Further, due to the intervening Lunar New Year Public Holidays in the PRC from 29 January 2006 to 4 February 2006 (both
dates inclusive), additional time is required for the Company to prepare and finalise the statement of sufficiency of
working capital for incorporation into the Circular as required under the Listing Rules and therefore, the despatch of
the Circular, which contains further information of the Investment Agreement and other information in compliance with
the requirements of the Listing Rules, will be delayed to on or before 9 March 2006.



Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 25 January 2006 (the 'Announcement') in respect of the
Investment Agreement which constitutes a major transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules. Terms used herein
shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement unless stated otherwise.



METHOD OF APPROVAL BY SHAREHOLDERS



Under Rule 14.40 of the Listing Rules, the Investment Agreement is subject to, inter alia, Shareholders' approval
requirement. Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, such Shareholders' approval requirement can be satisfied by
means of the written approval from a closely allied group of Shareholders who together hold more than 50% in nominal
value of the Shares giving the right to attend and vote at such general meeting of the Company to approve the
Investment Agreement. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has obtained written confirmation approving the
Investment Agreement from each of China Datang Corporation, Beijing Energy Investment (Group) Company, Hebei
Construction Investment Company and Tianjin Jinneng Investment Company, who holds 1,828,768,200 domestic Shares,
671,792,400 domestic Shares, 671,792,400 domestic Shares and 559,827,000 domestic Shares, respectively, representing
approximately 35.43%, 13.01%, 13.01% and 10.84%, respectively, of the issued share capital of the Company.



Each of (a) China Datang Corporation (or its predecessor, North China Power Group Company, which transferred its entire
shareholding in the Company to China Datang Corporation by way of administrative allocation on 9 April 2003 without any
change of ultimate beneficial ownership since both China Datang Corporation and North China Power Group Company were
wholly-owned by the PRC State), (b) Beijing Energy Investment (Group) Company (or its predecessor, Beijing
International Power Development and Investment Company, which transferred its entire shareholding in the Company to
Beijing Energy Investment (Group) Company by way of administrative allocation in December 2004 without any change of
ultimate beneficial ownership since both Beijing International Power Development and Investment Company and Beijing
Energy Investment (Group) Company were wholly-owned by the PRC State) and (c) Hebei Construction Investment Company has
been Shareholder since the incorporation of the Company (formerly known as Beijing Datang Power Generation Co., Ltd.)
in December 1994 and Tianjin Jinneng Investment Company has been Shareholder since 1999. Each of China Datang
Corporation (or its predecessor, North China Power Group Company), Beijing Energy Investment (Group) Company (or its
predecessor, Beijing International Power Development and Investment Company), Hebei Construction Investment Company and
Tianjin Jinneng Investment Company had voted in an affirmative way (save and except in the event that any of them was
required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules) on each of the Shareholders' resolutions (other than routine
resolutions at annual general meetings of the Company) for the past 3 years. In view of the above, China Datang
Corporation, Beijing Energy Investment (Group) Company, Hebei Construction Investment Company and Tianjin Jinneng
Investment Company could be viewed as a closely allied group of Shareholders for the purpose of approving the
Investment Agreement.



Since no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting to approve the
Investment Agreement and the Company has obtained written confirmation approving the Investment Agreement from each of
China Datang Corporation, Beijing Energy Investment (Group) Company, Hebei Construction Investment Company and Tianjin
Jinneng Investment Company, who together hold an aggregate of 3,732,180,000 domestic Shares representing approximately
72.29% of the issued share capital of the Company, the shareholders' approval requirement under Rule 14.40 of the
Listing Rules has therefore been satisfied by means of written Shareholders' approval pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the
Listing Rules and a general meeting of the Company to approve the Investment Agreement will not be held.



DELAY IN DESPATCH OF CIRCULAR



Pursuant to Rules 14.38 and 14.40 of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to despatch the circular in respect of
the aforesaid major transaction (the 'Circular') to the Shareholders within 21 days of the publication of the
Announcement, which falls on or before 16 February 2006.



Due to the intervening Lunar New Year Public Holidays in the PRC from 29 January 2006 to 4 February 2006 (both dates
inclusive), additional time is required for the Company to prepare and finalise the statement of sufficiency of working
capital for incorporation into the Circular as required under the Listing Rules. The Company has therefore made an
application to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with Rules 14.38 and 14.40 of the Listing Rules
and for an extension of deadline for the despatch of the Circular, which contains further information of the Investment
Agreement and other information in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, to on or before 9 March 2006.


                                                 By Order of the Board
                                    Datang International Power Generation Co., Ltd.
