CHN Energy’s total installed power generation capacity surpassed 400 gigawatts (GW) on June 22 with the successful grid connection of Unit 9 at Longyuan Power’s Qiyuan Offshore Wind Farm in south China’s Hainan Province. China’s total installed power generation capacity currently stands at around 4 terawatts (TW), with CHN Energy accounting for approximately one-tenth of the national total.
After exceeding 300 GW in August 2023, the Group took less than three years to reach the 400-gigawatt milestone, setting a new world record for installed power generation capacity among global energy companies. Its installed thermal power and wind power capacities both remain the largest in the world, while renewable energy accounts for more than 41 percent of its total installed capacity.

Alongside this leap in installed capacity, CHN Energy has achieved remarkable progress in green transformation and technological innovation. As of the end of May 2026, it had put into operation 65 one-gigawatt-class ultra-supercritical coal-fired generating units, representing nearly 30 percent of all such units nationwide. It has also developed multiple one-gigawatt-class wind power clusters and large-scale photovoltaic bases in desert areas, the Gobi and other arid areas of northwestern China. Its hydropower projects under construction in river basins including the Dadu River and the Jinsha River rank first among comparable enterprises.
Meanwhile, the Group has built a total of 8.01 gigawatts/19.21 gigawatt-hours of new energy storage capacity. Landmark projects such as Beilun Power Plant, Anji Gas Power Plant, Phase II of Jiangsu Changzhou Power Plant, Guohua Energy Investment’s 1,000-megawatt offshore photovoltaic project in eastern China’s Shandong Province, and the Shuangjiangkou Hydropower Station on the Dadu River have all set industry records in capacity, efficiency and digital construction.
In advancing core technologies, CHN Energy has developed the Jishi intelligent dispatch platform, enabling efficient coordination of its diversified 400-GW energy portfolio. It also became the first in the industry to launch the Qingyuan trillion-parameter artificial intelligence model for power generation. In addition, it has established a number of smart power plant demonstration projects, accelerating the transformation of electricity production toward greater intelligence and precision.
Supported by its integrated full-chain collaborative system, the Group’s annual power generation has exceeded 1.2 trillion kilowatt-hours for two consecutive years, while annual heat supply has reached 570 million gigajoules, each accounting for roughly one-eighth of the national total. These achievements underscore its role as a cornerstone of China’s energy security and supply.
