According to the company’s preliminary statistics, as of 31 March 2011, the total power generation on consolidated basis amounted to 75.431 billion kWh, representing an increase of 28.77% over the same period last year.

Huaneng Power said that this increase in power generation is mainly attributable to the reasons including the favourable conditions for substantial increase in the national electricity demand, and various new generating units that commenced operation since the second quarter of 2010.

The accumulated power generation of the company’s Tuas Power in Singapore in the first quarter of 2011 accounted for a market share of 25.1% in Singapore, representing an increase of 0.6 percentage point as compared to 24.5% of the same period last year.
