There are 44units with the single unit capacity equal or larger than 600 MW taking 39.72% of total thermal power. And the units with single unit capacity of 300MW and above take 84.41% of the total thermal power capacity. China Guodian is the largest wind power operator in Asia and No. 5 in the world. The capacity of tidal power generation ranks 3rd in the world and 1st of Asia.

The controllable coal resources of China Guodian have reached 13.2 billion tons and annual coal production over 25 million tons. Desulphurization and de-nitrogen technology has been widely applied in 25% units in China, and the plasma oil-free ignition technology with intellectual property rights was applied for more than 220,000MW in coal-fired units in China, Koran and Russia as well. The self-developed control system for power plant (DCS) has been adopted more than 800 sets, occupying more than 20% of Chinese market.

China Guodian also proposed the working methods of "Five Strive-for":

Developing clean coal power generation, building up energy-saving and environmental-friendly coal-fired power plant; Improving the scale and quality of hydropower plant development, increasing the renewable energy percentage; Developing new energy, such as wind power, solar energy and taking the commanding heights of new energy development; Promoting comprehensive development and utilization of the coal and establishing low carbon energy base; Developing high-tech based industry with new energy as the core, and forming emerging business groups. We devote to make China Guodian world-class comprehensive energy group and rank into World Top 500 companies as early as we can.
