- China Power International Development Limited, founded in 1994 and headquartered in Hong Kong, operates as an investment holding company primarily engaged in the development, construction, ownership, operation, and management of power plants across the People's Republic of China. It focuses on a diversified clean energy portfolio, including thermal power electricity, hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic (solar) power, natural gas power, environmental power, and energy storage. The company generates, distributes, and sells electricity through these multiple power sources, serving a broad domestic market while supporting international operations.
The company’s main products and services encompass coal-fired power generation; large-scale hydroelectric power projects; onshore and offshore wind farms; photovoltaic solar energy systems; natural gas power plants; environmental and clean energy solutions; energy storage systems; green electricity transportation; and integrated intelligent energy solutions. It acts as a core subsidiary of State Power Investment Corporation Limited, leveraging strong industry positioning and resource integration to strengthen its clean energy footprint.
Recent major developments include an asset restructuring transaction involving the transfer of equity interests in Wu Ling Power, with a total consideration of approximately RMB 24.67 billion settled through shares and cash, enhancing operational synergies with Yuanda Environmental. In September 2025, China Power International agreed to acquire a 31% equity stake in Dazhou Xingchuan Energy, expanding its coal power portfolio. The company also issued RMB 2 billion green medium-term notes to bolster its clean energy financing. Leadership changes were announced in October 2025, with key board and committee appointments signaling a strategic focus on governance and operational efficiency. The company has actively expanded its clean energy capacity alongside traditional thermal power assets, with reported revenue and electricity output growth driven by wind and photovoltaic power sectors.
China Power International’s operations reflect a strategic shift from predominantly coal-fired power generation towards a diversified, clean energy-centered structure, supporting China's energy transition and sustainability goals. It serves utility customers, industrial power consumers, and government power grids predominantly within Mainland China, with significant investments in clean energy infrastructure across the country. The company continues to leverage technological innovation in renewable energy and intelligent energy management to sustain competitive advantage in the evolving energy sector.
