Affected by the dry incoming water, the annual cumulative power generation of the company’s hydropower station decreased slightly, and the growth of power demand of downstream users led to the growth of the company’s annual power sales. At the same time, the average power sales price increased due to the market-oriented reform of electricity price and the linkage mechanism of electricity price.
