Movement Alert｜Huaneng Power International Rises 3.1% in Regular Trading, El Nino Extreme Heat Continues to Catalyze Power Sector

On July 10, Huaneng Power International rose 3.1% in regular trading, trading at HK$5.64/share, with turnover of HK$69.88 million.

On the news front, persistent extreme heat driven by the El Nino phenomenon continues to boost the power sector. Electricity loads in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region have surpassed the 100-million-kilowatt threshold, while the China Southern Power Grid and multiple provincial grids have frequently set historical load records. Huatai Securities previously noted that power stocks remain on the left side of fundamentals, with electricity price rebounds showing sustainability, and high temperatures serving as the most direct catalyst for thermal power plays. Monthly long-term agreement electricity prices in Jiangsu and Guangdong have already exceeded annual pricing levels, reinforcing the profit recovery thesis for thermal power operators.

Within the Independent Power Producers and Energy Traders sector, peers moved in tandem: Datang Power rose 3.03%, Huadian Power rose 2.11%, CGN Power rose 1.83%, and China Resources Power rose 0.98%.

Separately, the company recently completed the issuance of 3 billion yuan in 98-day commercial paper at a rate of 1.30%, with proceeds earmarked for working capital replenishment, debt structure optimization, and loan repayment.
