TREE NEWS update: China Yangtze Power said in an October 12 filing that total power generation from its six domestic cascade hydropower stations reached about 225.058 billion kWh in the first three quarters of 2026, down 4.28% year on year. Third-quarter output fell 14.89% year on year to roughly 92.314 billion kWh.
China Yangtze Power Q1-Q3 Generation Falls 4.28% to 225.058 TWh
The headline decline is not evenly spread: the third-quarter drop is far steeper than the nine-month figure, implying the shortfall intensified rather than persisted at a steady rate. For a hydropower operator, that points to water inflow conditions rather than demand, which matters for anyone tracking clean-energy supply into China's grid and the carbon intensity of the power mix. Whether the fourth quarter stabilises or extends the Q3 weakness is the open question.
