On the news front, El Nino-induced extreme heat has pushed electricity demand to record levels. Power loads in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region have surpassed the 100-GW threshold, while Southern Power Grid and multiple provinces have repeatedly set new historical highs. Under the dual pressure of tightening supply-demand dynamics and rising primary energy costs, monthly long-term agreement electricity prices in Jiangsu and Guangdong have exceeded annual contract levels, reinforcing the profit recovery thesis for thermal power operators.

Within the Independent Power Producers and Energy Traders sector, peers moved broadly higher. China Resources Power rose 2.29%, China Power rose 1.83%, Datang Power rose 1.74%, JNCEC rose 1.65%, and CGN Power rose 1.13%, reflecting sector-wide upward momentum driven by summer peak demand expectations.
