                              ANNOUNCEMENT ON RESOLUTIONS
                               OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


Special Notice:

The board of directors (the "Board") and all directors (the "Directors") of the 
Company 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 for the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of 
the contents of 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 (the "Listing 
Rules").


The twenty-ninth meeting of the seventh session of the Board (the "Meeting") of 
Datang International Power Generation Co., Ltd. (the "Company") was held by way of 
written correspondence on 27 September 2012 (Thursday). 15 Directors were eligible to 
attend the Meeting and all of them attended the Meeting. The Meeting was held in 
compliance with the provisions stipulated in the Company Law of the People's Republic 
of China and the Articles of Association of Datang International Power Generation Co.,
Ltd. (the "Article of Association"). The "Resolution on the Implementation of 
Desulfurization Franchising by a Coal-fired Power Plant of the Company" was 
considered and approved at the Meeting.

Flue gas desulfurization franchising in coal-fired power plant is a major initiative 
of the PRC for increasing its effort on energy conservation and emission reduction. 
The National Development and Reform Commission and State Environment Protection 
Administration jointly promulgated the "Notice of Implementation of Pilot Plan of 
Flue Gas Desulfurization Franchising in Coal-fired Power Plant" (the "Notice") (Fa 
Gai Ban Huan Zi (2007) No. 1570). The Notice urges the implementation of pilot plan 
of flue gas desulfurization franchising in coal-fired power plant in the power plants 
of the five largest power generation groups.

Flue gas desulfurization franchising in coal-fired power plant refers to: With the 
assistance of relevant government authorities in organization and coordination, 
coal-fired power plant will grant the specialized desulfurization companies with the 
income right formed by the desulfurization tariffs and the desulfurization-related 
preferential policies introduced by the PRC government by way of contractual 
arrangements. The responsibilities of investment, construction, operation, 
maintenance and day-to-day management activities with respect to the desulfurization 
facilities will be borne by the specialized desulfurization companies. Moreover, the 
specialized desulfurization companies will complete the desulfurization tasks 
stipulated in the contract.

In early 2008, Inner Mongolia Datang International Tuoketuo Power Generation Co., 
Ltd., a controlled subsidiary of the Company, was selected as the pilot unit to 
implement desulfurization facilities franchising, and achieved satisfactory results. 
To further implement the principle of the Notice, the Company intends to continue the 
full implementation of desulfurization franchising by its coal-fired power generating 
units.

The implementation of desulfurization franchising can effectively revitalize the 
desulfurization stock assets of the Company and the proceeds of transferring the 
desulfurization assets will be able to fund the construction and operation of the 
enterprise, repay or replace new bank loans, and effectively ease the financial 
pressure of the Company, reduce the Company's asset-to-liability ratio, and decrease 
financial expenses, thereby enhancing the profitability and the capacity of 
sustainable development of the Company.

As the controlling shareholder of the Company, China Datang Corporation also has 
controlled subsidiaries which are qualified to carry out desulfurization franchising 
and possess the relevant expertise and operational and management standards to take 
on and operate desulfurization franchising assets. The aforementioned companies also 
have opportunities to become the implementation units of desulfurization franchising 
of the Company. As such, there may be connected transactions involved during the 
implementation process.

     Coal-fired Power Plant of the Company" was considered and approved.

           proposal, the specific proposal on desulfurization franchising shall be

           of the economic indicators of power generation companies and the 
           enhancement of the operational and management standards of desulfurization
           facilities. This transaction will be carried out in the ordinary course of
           business of the Company on normal commercial terms, and is fair, 
           reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a
