Datang International Power Generation Co., Ltd. (the 'Company') announces that,
based on the Company's preliminary statistics, as of 31 December 2007, total
power generation of the Company and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year
of 2007 amounted to 118.263 billion kWh, an increase of 26.55% when compared to
the corresponding period of 2006. The Group's total on-grid power generation was
111.341 billion kWh, an increase of 26.66% year-on-year.


The substantial increase in the Group's power generation for the year of 2007 as
compared to 2006 was mainly attributable to the following factors:

 
1.   Increased capacity of the Company's operating generation units: During the 
     second half of 2007, a number of new generation units of the Company's     
     subsidiaries have commenced operation, thus substantially increasing the   
     Group's overall power generation capacity. Such subsidiaries include       
     Zhejiang Datang Wushashan Power Generation Company Limited ('Wushashan     
     Power Company'), Guangdong Datang International Chaozhou Power Generation  
     Company Limited ('Chaozhou Power Company'), Fujian Datang International    
     Ningde Power Generation Company Limited ('Ningde Power Company'), Yunnan   
     Datang International Honghe Power Generation Company Limited ('Honghe Power
     Company'), and the Yayangshan Project of Yunnan Datang International       
     Lixianjiang Hydropower Development Company Limited ('Lixianjiang Hydropower
     Company'). Meanwhile, projects including Longma and Tukahe of Lixianjiang  
     Hydropower Company also had new generation units commencing operation in   
     2007.                                                                      
                                                                                
2.   Increased demand in service areas: In 2007, the power demand within the    
     service areas of the Company - the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Power Grid, the
     Shanxi Power Grid, the Gansu Power Grid, the Yunnan Power Grid, the        
     Zhejiang Power Grid and the Guangdong Power Grid - continued to maintain   
     rapid growth.                                                              
                                                                                
3.   The power generation obstruction problem at Hebei Datang International     
     Wangtan Power Generation Company Limited ('Wangtan Power Company'), a      
     subsidiary of the Company, was resolved and its generation units are now   
     operating in full capacity.
