Strategic Profile
Historically, CPI held a dominant position in China's power sector through diversified generation assets spanning hydropower, thermal, wind, and nuclear projects. The company pursued strategic expansion internationally and across Chinese regions, including investments in Hong Kong and Macau. The 2015 merger was part of China's broader consolidation of state-owned enterprises to reduce redundancy and strengthen competitiveness.
