    (A Sino-foreign Joint Stock Limited Company incorporated in the People's
                               Republic of China)

           Restructuring of the power generation industry in the PRC
                 and proposed change of controlling shareholder

recent developments relating to the restructuring of the power generation

The board of directors of Beijing Datang Power Generation Company Limited (the
'Company') wishes to make this announcement to inform the
shareholders of the Company and the public of recent developments relating to
the restructuring of the power generation industry in the People's Republic of
China which will involve a change in the controlling shareholder of the Company
(the 'Restructuring').

In accordance with Document Guo Han (2003) No. 16 issued by the State Council on
2 February 2003 entitled 'Approval from the State Council on issues
concerning the establishment of China Datang Corporation', China Datang
Corporation (an entity which will be wholly-owned and managed by the State) will
hold 1,828,768,200 domestic shares in the Company in place of the existing
controlling shareholder of the Company, North China Power Group Company (an
entity wholly-owned by the State and managed by the State Grid Corporation),
accounting for approximately 35.43% of the total number of shares of the
Company. At this stage, China Datang Corporation has not completed its
registration at the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (the
'Registration'. Before China Datang Corporation has completed
the Registration, the relevant party will seek a ruling from The Securities and
Futures Commission that the Restructuring will not result in China Datang
Corporation incurring any general offer obligation to acquire all the issued
shares of the Company.

As the Restructuring has not been completed, the Company cannot estimate the
impact of the Restructuring on the Company at this stage. Currently, China
Datang Corporation is applying for the Registration. A further announcement will
be made to disclose further details relating to the Restructuring and its impact
on the Company after China Datang Corporation has completed the Registration.

                                                                 Yang Hongming
                                                             Company Secretary
