What Power Construction Corporation of China does

State-owned engineering group building hydropower, wind, solar and water infrastructure projects across China and abroad.

Wins projects by contract and books revenue as work progresses, so margins depend on cost control and on how quickly customers pay. Formed in 2011 by combining Sinohydro with power-engineering businesses spun out of the two state grid companies, it is owned by the central government.

In one line: China's Bechtel for power and water infrastructure.
