China Yangtze Power reports 5.84% drop in Q3 electricity generation

BEIJING - China Yangtze Power Co., Ltd. (SHA:600900) reported a 5.84% year-over-year decline in electricity generation for the third quarter of 2025, with output falling to 108.470 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) across its six domestic cascade hydropower plants.

According to a press release issued Monday, the company's performance was impacted by reduced water inflows, with the Wudongde Reservoir experiencing a 6.04% decrease in total inflow to 83.489 billion cubic meters during the first nine months of 2025. Similarly, the Three Gorges Reservoir saw inflows decline by 4.54% to 298.880 billion cubic meters.

For the first three quarters of 2025, China Yangtze Power's total electricity generation remained relatively stable at 235.126 billion kWh, representing a marginal decrease of 0.29% compared to the same period last year.

The company's largest facility, the Three Gorges Project, bucked the downward trend with a 10.66% increase in third-quarter generation to 35.776 billion kWh. The Gezhouba Project also performed well, with generation rising 19.46% to 6.456 billion kWh.

However, these gains were offset by significant declines at other facilities. The Wudongde Project saw the steepest drop at 15.38%, followed by the Xiluodu Project at 17.03% and the Baihetan Project at 13.21%.

China Yangtze Power is one of the world's largest hydroelectric power producers and operates several major dams along the Yangtze River, including the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest power station by installed capacity.
