"And it is not a fact that the spin-off plan has been approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission," it said.
Citing Datang International Power's vice chairman Cao Jingshan, the Wall Street Journal reported on its Chinese-language website that the company had won approval to sell shares of its alternative energy and coal-to-chemical businesses on ChiNext.
Shares of Datang International Power rose 4.4 percent to HK$3.54?($0.46) at Hong Kong Exchange by 3:00 pm local time.
