China Datang Corporation Renewable Power, China's second biggest wind farm operator, officially listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange on Friday, with share price opening at 2.3 HK dollars, down 1.29 percent from its IPO price.

As a subsidiary of the state-owned power generator the China Datang Corp., Datang Renewable issued 2.14 billion shares for 2.33 HK dollars apiece, a price in the lower end of its indicative price range. The net proceeds was about 614 million U.S. dollars.

Current stock price fluctuations will not affect the company value in the long term, Hu Yongsheng, head of Datang Renewable, told reporters on Friday.

Hu said the wind-power capacity of Datang Renewable may rise to 5,500 to 6,000 megawatts in the next few years, with annual growth of about 2,000 megawatts.

The company will not seek further fundraising in two or three years, said Hu.
