BEIJING, April 12, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Huaneng Power International, Inc. ("HPI", the "Company") (NYSE: HNP; HKEx:902; SSE:600011) today announced its power generation in the first quarter of 2012.
According to the Company's preliminary statistics, as of March 31, 2012, the Company's total power generation within China on consolidated basis amounted to 76.166 billion kWh, representing an increase of 0.97% over the same period last year. Total electricity sold amounted to 71.818 billion kWh, representing an increase of 0.96% over the same period last year.
The power generation growth of the Company in the first quarter is lower than the average growth rate nationwide, which is mainly attributable to the following reasons:
(1) The rapid growth of the power generation in Northwest China pushed up the level of the national growth rate, whereas the Company's generating units are mainly installed in the coastal regions in Southeast China and east of Guangdong Province, which experienced relatively steady growth in the first quarter.
(2) The growth of the Company's installed generation capacity is 2.9 percentage points lower than the national's growth rate in the first quarter of 2012. This has reduced the Company's power generation growth over the same period last year by approximately 2.76 percentage points.
(3) The tension in coal supply caused by safety incidents of local coal mines affected the power generation of the Company's two power plants in Yunnan.
The power generation and electricity sold by each of the Company's domestic power plants in the first quarter of 2012 are listed below (in billion kWh):
