BEIJING, April 24, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Huaneng Power International, Inc. ("HPI", the "Company") (NYSE: HNP; HKEx: 902; SSE: 600011) today announced its unaudited results for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Under the PRC GAAP, the Company realized consolidated operating revenue of RMB 34.261 billion for the first quarter of 2012, representing an increase of 12.70% over the same period last year. Consolidated net profit attributable to the shareholders of the Company was RMB 919 million, representing an increase of 306.33% over the same period last year. The increase is mainly attributable to the following reasons: (1) there had been adjustments to the on-grid tariffs within China after the first quarter of 2011, which reduced the number of the Company's power plants that incurred operating loss from power generation in China; (2) the Company seized the favourable opportunities of the power market in Singapore and its profit from power generation business in Singapore recorded an increase compared to the same period last year; and (3) the Company had effectively controlled the costs, thereby laying a foundation for growth in profit.
