             DATANG INTERNATIONAL POWER GENERATION CO., LTD.

     (a sino-foreign joint stock limited company incorporated in the 
                         People's Republic of China)

                          (Stock Code: 991)

                          MAJOR TRANSACTION

                 FURTHER DELAY IN DESPATCH OF CIRCULAR

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

In spite of the progress that has been made in the preparation of the statement
of sufficiency of working capital of the Company since the date of the Delay
Announcement, the Company, based on the consultations with the auditors, expects
that such statement will be finalised on or before 30 March 2006. Further,
additional time is required for the Company to update the information up to 31
January 2006 in the indebtedness statement which is required to be included in
the Circular under the Listing Rules. 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 30 March 2006.

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 25 January 2006 (the
'Announcement') and dated 15 February 2006 (the 'Delay 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.

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. As disclosed in the
Delay Announcement, the despatch of the Circular has been delayed until on or
before 9 March 2006.

In spite of the progress that has been made in the preparation of the statement
of sufficiency of working capital of the Company since the date of the Delay
Announcement, the Company, based on the consultations with the auditors, expects
that such statement will be finalised on or before 30 March 2006. Further,
additional time is required for the Company to update the information up to 31
January 2006 in the indebtedness statement which is required to be included in
the Circular 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 further 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 30 March 2006.


                                                 By Order of the Board
