On January 27, it was announced that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, CGN's domestic new energy sector achieved leapfrog development. Its operational installed capacity exceeded 70 million kilowatts, representing a near-tripling increase compared to the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan." The cumulative grid-connected electricity surpassed 370 billion kilowatt-hours, while the availability rate of new energy equipment remained consistently above 99%. In 2025, the domestic new energy sector added 13.29 million kilowatts of installed capacity, and the annual independent operational capability has surged to the ten-million-kilowatt level.

Chen Gongquan, Deputy Party Secretary and Spokesperson of China General Nuclear Power New Energy Holdings Co., Ltd., stated that in the concentrated solar power (CSP) field, CGN has completed the development and installation of its new generation large-aperture molten salt trough collector. Currently, CGN's total operational and under-construction CSP capacity stands at 550,000 kilowatts, ranking among the top in the industry. Among these projects, the 50-megawatt Delingha CSP demonstration plant, as China's first large-scale commercial project, achieved a record high in grid-connected electricity in 2025, with its utilization hours ranking first in the industry for two consecutive years.

In the layout of green power and hydrogen energy, CGN has built the country's first fully green electricity-supplied virtual power plant. Chen Gongquan highlighted that over the past five years, CGN's market-based traded electricity volume exceeded 210 billion kilowatt-hours, with cumulative green electricity transactions surpassing 30 billion kilowatt-hours. The external sales volume of CCER carbon assets broke through 5 million tons. Concurrently, CGN is actively positioning itself in future industries, having already constructed its first hydrogen production station and successfully developed a pilot prototype for direct hydrogen production from seawater.

In the digital technology sector, the independently developed nuclear-grade digital instrument and control platform "Harmony System," after breaking foreign monopolies, has been widely applied in 33 nuclear power units including "Hualong One," VVER, and high-temperature gas-cooled reactors. This achievement signifies comprehensive application coverage across various reactor types and technical routes for the second, third, and fourth generations of nuclear power. After seven years of research and development, CGN has advanced the domestic version of the "Harmony System" to achieve 100% localization, which received certification from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2025.
