The electric energy, vital for the well-being of nations and their people, has always been an important field for international collaboration. Over the last few years, the China Huaneng Group (CHNG) has continually made Herculean efforts to expand its international business and cooperation in the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative.

The foreign assets of the CHNG are dispersed mainly in six countries: Australia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Myanmar, Cambodia and Pakistan.
