Since the start of the year, China Huadian Corporation Ltd. (CHD) has made coordinated efforts to generate more power to ensure supply and increase the quality and efficiency of power generation, providing sustainable, green momentum to China’s economic and social development.
In the first three quarters, its new energy power generation volume exceeded 100 billion kilowatt-hours, a 21.4-percent year-on-year increase.
Wind Power Generation
CHD has refined its equipment operation and maintenance, routinely conducting inspections to eliminate defects and remedy hidden hazards, in order to keep generating units in sound condition.
The Yunnan branch of Huadian New Energy Group Corporation Limited, a CHD subsidiary, recorded a wind turbine availability rate of 99.25 percent. Also, with Huadian New Energy Group’s efforts, wind power projects in Kashgar, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Xinji in Hebei Province and Liaocheng in Shandong Province have been put into operation one after another. In the first three quarters of 2026, Huadian New Energy Group generated 54.701 billion kWh of wind power.
Photovoltaic Power Generation
CHD has refined its equipment management, carrying out ongoing module diagnostics and energy efficiency improvements to enhance the performance of PV power stations.
The Haijing PV Power Station and Liugangzhuang PV Power Station, operated by Huadian New Energy Group’s Tianjin branch, achieved zero power generation losses. Hebei’s first offshore PV power project in Changli County, operated by CHD, has also been connected to the grid. With these achievements, Huadian New Energy Group generated 44.555 billion kWh of PV power in the first three quarters.
Energy Storage and Regulation
CHD has accelerated its layout of new-type energy storage facilities to boost the regulation capacity of the power system and enable the efficient consumption of new energy.
The 1,000 MW/4,000 MWh new-type energy storage demonstration project at CHD’s photovoltaic base in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, the largest single-unit electrochemical independent energy storage facility in China, is operating stably. CHD’s 100-MW-class compressed carbon dioxide energy storage project in Mulei, a Kazak autonomous county in Xinjiang, has been connected to the grid. Each year, it is expected to store 290 million kWh of green electricity during the grid’s off-peak hours and release 180 million kWh of power at peak hours, thus increasing green power supply and safeguarding energy security.
