Datang International Power Generation Company

Datang International Power Generation Company Limited, commonly known as Datang International Power or Datang Power, is a Chinese state-owned electricity producer and an important subsidiary of China Datang Corporation. The company was incorporated on 13 December 1994 and is headquartered in Beijing. Its business has traditionally been concentrated in the development, construction and operation of power-generation projects, with a particularly significant presence in northern China. The company’s core activities include generating and selling electricity, supplying thermal power, maintaining and repairing power-generation equipment, and providing technical services connected with the electricity industry. Its portfolio has included conventional thermal-power facilities as well as hydroelectric and wind-power projects, reflecting the broader diversification of China’s generation sector. Thermal generation has historically been central to its operating base, while renewable-energy development has represented an additional area of expansion. Datang Power has operated both directly owned plants and power companies under its management. Reference material describes four operating power plants and 17 managed power companies, with aggregate installed capacity of 15,410 megawatts at the end of the first half of 2006. That historical capacity figure should not be treated as a current operating total, because the company’s asset base and management structure may have changed since then. The company became a listed enterprise in the 1990s. It was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange on 21 March 1997, and it is also associated with a Shanghai Stock Exchange listing under code 601991. Its Hong Kong listing is identified by code 0991. Through its relationship with China Datang Corporation, Datang Power forms part of one of China’s major state-owned power-generation groups. Datang Power’s brand identity is that of a large-scale infrastructure and utility operator rather than a consumer-facing electricity retailer. Its importance is linked to generation capacity, project development, grid-connected output, operational reliability and participation in China’s changing energy mix. The company’s activities span conventional generation, renewable development, power and heat sales, plant maintenance and technical support. Publicly available reference material supplied for this entry provides limited detail on current management, recent financial performance, individual projects and present installed capacity; those areas require verification against current company filings and official disclosures.

Datang International Power Generation Company was incorporated on 13 December 1994 as a state-owned electricity enterprise. Its formation occurred during a period when China was expanding and reorganizing its power-generation sector, creating specialized generation companies capable of developing, financing and operating large power stations. The company developed as part of the power-generation businesses associated with China Datang Corporation and established a substantial operating presence in northern China. Its activities expanded beyond the operation of individual power stations to include project development, construction, electricity sales, thermal-power sales, equipment repair and maintenance, and technical services. The company’s generation portfolio has included thermal, hydroelectric and wind facilities, with thermal power historically serving as the principal conventional base. Datang Power entered international capital markets in the 1990s. Reference material states that the company was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange on 21 March 1997. It is also identified with a Shanghai Stock Exchange listing under code 601991, while its Hong Kong code is 0991. These listings placed the company among the major Chinese power enterprises accessible to domestic and international investors. By the end of the first half of 2006, reference material described four operating power plants and 17 managed power companies, with total installed capacity of 15,410 megawatts. This figure documents the scale of the company at that historical point but does not establish its current capacity. Datang Power has also participated in renewable-energy development, including wind-power projects, as China has sought to broaden its electricity mix and reduce dependence on conventional generation. The company remains associated with China Datang Corporation and operates as a large infrastructure-focused power producer. Its historical development illustrates the growth of China’s state-owned generation groups, the use of stock-market listings to support expansion, and the gradual addition of renewable-energy projects alongside thermal generation. The supplied reference material does not provide enough verified information to describe later asset transactions, current executives, present capacity, recent financial results or detailed project-level milestones.

The supplied reference material does not identify specific current stations or technologies in sufficient detail.

• Renewable electricity generation

  Hydroelectric power

  Hydroelectric generation is one of the generation categories associated with Datang Power. Hydroelectric projects form part of the company’s broader portfolio alongside thermal and wind power, although the supplied sources do not provide verified project names, capacity figures or commissioning dates for individual hydro facilities.

• Renewable electricity generation

  Wind power

  Datang Power has been involved in the development of renewable-energy projects, including wind-power projects. Wind generation represents a diversification of the company’s historical thermal-power base and aligns with the expansion of renewable electricity in China. Specific current wind farms and capacity data are not established by the supplied reference material.

• Energy sales

  Power and thermal-power sales

  The company’s operating activities include the sale of electricity and thermal power. This gives Datang Power a commercial role beyond plant ownership and operation, linking its generation assets with electricity and heat customers within China’s regulated and market-based power systems.

• Industrial services

  Power equipment maintenance and technical services

  Datang Power also provides repair, maintenance and power-related technical services. These activities support the reliability and continued operation of generating assets and complement the company’s principal role as a power producer.
