HUANENG POWER INTERNATIONAL, INC.
Signed a Medium-to-Long Term Coal Supply Agreement with
Shenhua Coal Trading Company
(Beijing, China, July 26, 2004) Huaneng Power International, Inc. (the
"Company") [NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011] has signed the "Year 2005-2007
Coal Supply Agreement" (the "Agreement") with Shenhua Coal Trading Company (
"Shenhua Coal" ) today.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Shenhua Coal will be providing to the Company with
high-quality thermal coal amounting to 9 million tonnes, 10.5 million tonnes
and 11 million tonnes for the years of 2005, 2006 and 2007 respectively. After
amicable discussion under the principle of taking up mutual responsibility
vis-a-vis market risks, a basic price was set with the guarantee that any
annual increase/decrease would not exceed by 5%. Prior to the Agreement, the
two parties have already concluded and signed another agreement on increasing
allocated coal supply by 1.5 million tonnes to the Company by Shenhua Coal in
the second half of 2004.
The annual coal yield of Shenhua Group Co. Ltd. is 120 million tonnes.
Currently, it is one of the largest coal suppliers in the PRC and Shenhua Coal
is its wholly-owned subsidiary. Throughout the years, Shenhua Coal and the
Company have been maintaining good relations regarding coal supplies and other
business aspects. In view of the difficult market situations regarding coal
supply, electricity demand and transportation, both parties have been working
hard on the principles of integrity and mutual benefits with an aim to resolve
the problem of power supply shortage during the peak summer season. The
cooperation between the two parties exemplifies an excellent operation of a
medium-to-long term agreement on coal supply to power companies. The signing
of the Agreement is also consistent with the State's objectives and policies
in promoting market mechanisms in thermal coal supply.
Huaneng Power International, Inc. develops, constructs, operates and manages
large thermal power plants in China nationwide, with a total generation
capacity of 18,832MW on an equity basis. The Company wholly owns sixteen power
plants, and has controlling interests in seven power plants and minority
interests in four power companies. Today, it is one of the largest independent
power producers in China.
