What China Power International Development does

Power generation subsidiary of State Power Investment Corp, operating coal-fired plus wind and solar power plants in China.

Sells nearly all its electricity to the state grid companies at tariffs set by provincial regulators or by market rules, so earnings depend on fuel costs and the hours its plants run. Coal-fired plants gave it the original base, and wind, solar and hydro have been added alongside under its parent, State Power Investment Corp.
