Sichuan Energy sees revenue and profit climb in first half 2025

Sichuan Energy Investment Development Co., Ltd. reported a 10.9% increase in operating revenue to RMB2,511.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, up from RMB2,264.6 million in the same period of 2024. Total profit grew by 4.7% to RMB178.9 million, while net profit rose 6.0% to RMB146.0 million. Net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company increased by 5.4% to RMB145.3 million. Basic and diluted earnings per share were RMB0.14, an increase from RMB0.13 in 2024.

The growth was primarily driven by the general power supply business, which saw revenue increase by 10.9% to RMB2,141.0 million, and the EECS business, which expanded by 27.2% to RMB231.7 million. Operating costs also increased by 11.7% to RMB2,196.6 million, mainly due to the increased scale of operations and an 11.9% rise in power purchases from external parties. Finance costs notably surged by 91.0% to RMB12.7 million due to higher average bank loan balances. The company has not declared an interim dividend for 2025.
