This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Huaneng Power International is one of China’s largest power generators, with a fleet heavily reliant on coal-fired generation. The company operates numerous large-scale coal power plants across China and derives the overwhelming majority of its electricity output from coal. Its business model is centered on the development, construction, and operation of these facilities.
The company’s financial performance and operational focus remain tied to coal. Historically, volatile coal prices have been a primary driver of its profitability, as evidenced by significant losses reported during periods of high fuel costs. While the company has announced intentions to increase its renewable energy capacity, coal continues to dominate its generation mix and strategic planning. There is no publicly available plan to phase out its coal assets.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
