China Yangtze Power Co., Ltd. (abbreviated as CYPC and commonly referred to as Yangtze Power) is a Chinese enterprise in the utilities sector, with its headquarters located in Beijing. The company is publicly traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the SSE 180 Index. The principal shareholder is the state-owned China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG), which owns 61.92% of the shares.

Established on 4 November 2002, CYPC specializes in the generation and distribution of hydroelectric energy throughout China. Its formation was the result of a partnership among prominent Chinese corporations such as Huaneng Power International, China National Nuclear Corporation, China National Petroleum Corporation, Gezhouba Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering Group, and the Changjiang Institute of Survey, Planning, Design and Research.

Three Gorges Dam Hydroelectric Plants

The premier hydroelectric facility at the Three Gorges Dam attained full operational status in 2010, boasting an installed capacity of 18.2 GW composed of 26 units each rated at 700 MW. These generating units have been gradually acquired from CTG, the majority shareholder. The transfer of the final underground power station was planned to be completed by 2012.

Other Hydroelectric Plants

In addition to the Three Gorges Dam, CYPC manages several significant hydroelectric stations along the Yangtze River, including the Xiluodu Dam with a capacity of 13,860 MW, the Xiangjiaba Dam at 6,448 MW, and the Gezhouba Dam producing 2,715 MW. The company is also advancing two large-scale projects currently under construction: the Baihetan Dam, expected to generate 16,000 MW, and the Wudongde Dam, with a planned capacity of 10,200 MW.

Electricity generated by CYPC is primarily sold through the China State Grid Corporation to major markets located in Central China—covering regions such as Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Jiangxi, and Chongqing—as well as in East China provinces including Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, along with Guangdong Province.
