HUANENG POWER INTERNATIONAL, INC. 
By BEIJING, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Huaneng Power International, Inc. ("HPI" or the "Company") (NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011) announced its power generation of 2012.
According to the Company's preliminary statistics, as of December 31, 2012, the Company's total power generation within China on consolidated basis amounted to 302.433 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 3.55% over the same period last year; accumulated electricity sold amounted to 285.455 billion kWh, representing a decrease of 3.47% over the same period last year.
The decrease in power generation of the Company was mainly attributable to the following reasons:
1. Affected by the slower economic growth nationwide and the weak demand for
electricity, the power generation in the areas where the Company's power
plants are located grew by only 1.3% in 2012. The power generation by
coal-fired generating plants decreased by 2.4% on consolidated basis over
the same period last year.
2. The average capacity growth rate of the Company's coal-fire generating
units in 2012 was 3.7 percentage points lower than that in the locations
where the Company's power plants are situated, which affected the
Company's share in the power generation market.
3. In 2012, there had been a rich supply of water to hydropower plants in
the provinces and municipalities including Hunan, Jiangxi, Chongqing,
Fujian, Gansu and Yunnan. The power generation by hydropower generating
plants in the six provinces and municipalities increased by 31% on
consolidated basis over the same period last year. In particular, there
had been a sharp increase in the hydropower generation provided to
Guangdong from Three Gorges, Yunnan and Guizhou. The rise of hydropower
generation narrowed the demand for coal-fired power generation in the
provinces where hydropower is generated or provided, and significantly
affected the Company's generation output.
4. The long-term suspension of the coal mines in the surrounding areas of
Yunnan Diandong due to safety accidents in the first quarter of 2012
resulted in tense supply of coal to the Company's two power plants in
Diandong, and affected electricity production of the Company.
The power generation and electricity sold by each of the Company's domestic power plants in 2012 are listed below (in billion kWh):
