Huaneng Power (Huaneng Power International, Inc.) released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, detailing operational, environmental and social performance across its 155.87 GW controlled installed capacity.

Key operational metrics show revenue of RMB 229.29 billion, operating expenses of RMB 186.99 billion and net profit of RMB 19.51 billion. New energy accounted for 20% of the Company’s capacity growth over the past five years, lifting low-carbon and clean energy installations to 41.01% of the total.

Environmental data underline continued improvements. Coal consumption for thermal units fell to 292.05 g/kWh, while the house-load rate declined to 4.36%. Total Scope 1 greenhouse-gas emissions dropped to 342.50 million tonnes CO₂-equivalent, cutting intensity to 703.31 g/kWh. Sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions held steady at 0.06 g/kWh and 0.13 g/kWh respectively, and fly-ash utilisation reached 84.96%. The Company invested RMB 0.41 billion in environmental upgrades during the year.

Water management progressed with freshwater usage in power generation at 0.86 kg/kWh and total water discharge of 20.51 billion tonnes. Four thermal plants completed zero-liquid-discharge retrofits, and additional projects are scheduled for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030).

On the social front, Huaneng Power employed 56,104 staff—87% with college degrees or higher—and recorded one work-related fatality, a rate of 0.002%. Training averaged 137 hours per employee, and RMB 78.54 million and RMB 11.45 million were allocated to work-injury and safety-liability insurance respectively.

Research and development remained above 3% of revenue, with cumulative R&D outlays exceeding RMB 40 billion in the past five years. Patent activity accelerated: 5,351 invention applications were filed and 1,572 granted during 2025.

In supply-chain oversight, the Company managed 114,159 suppliers—99% domestic—and maintained zero material disputes or ESG violations. Rural revitalisation funding totalled RMB 16.17 million, while charitable donations reached RMB 4.42 million.

The Board affirmed its commitment to integrate ESG factors into strategic planning, targeting an early carbon-emissions peak and continued reductions in coal-burn rates during the 15th Five-Year Plan, alongside expansion of large-scale wind, solar and energy-storage projects.
