[Huaneng Hydropower: plans to invest in Xizang Hydropower project]On May 30, 2023, Huaneng Hydropower held the 16th meeting of the third Board of Directors, deliberating and passing the Motion on the investment and construction of hydropower Station Project in Tibet, which intends to invest and construct hydropower station project in Tibet (hereinafter referred to as the project). The project was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in April 2023. At present, the project technology is feasible, all conditions have been basically implemented, the project risk is controllable, and the project investment and construction conditions have been met. It is reported that the installed capacity of this project is 2.6 million kW, the annual average power generation is 11.281 billion KWH, the total construction time is 132 months (excluding the preparation period), calculated according to the price level in the third quarter of 2022, the total investment of the project is 58.381 billion yuan. Huaneng Hydropower said that this project investment is an important hub for the company to build a clean energy base in the Xizang section of Lancang River, and plays a significant role in giving full play to the advantages of cascade joint operation in the Lancang River basin, improving the utilization rate of cascade water energy and comprehensive power generation benefits. The economic indicators of the project construction are feasible, and the subsequent cooperation with other power supplies delivered to the clean energy base in Xizang section of the upper reaches of Lancang River is conducive to improving the company's core competitiveness in the market.
