Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--By the end of September, the power output of Datang International Power Generation Company Limited (Beijing) and its affiliates reached 86.5 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh), an increase of 31.6% compared with the same period last year, and the total power sold to Datang Power's grid reached 81.5 billion kWh in the first three quarters of this year, an increase of 31.9% year over year, Datang Power said on October 15, 2007.

According to Datang Power, the significant increase in the first three quarters of this year is mainly the result of growth in installed capacity in operation, service demand and the improvement of liability in unit operation. In the second half of 2006, new units from projects owned by Datang Power and its affiliates, such as Zhejiang Wushashan Power Generation Company Limited (Zhejiang, China) and Guangdong Datang International Chaozhou Power Generation Company Limited (Guangdong, China), were put into operation, greatly improving the overall power generation capability.
