Yunnan Energy Investment Co., Ltd.

Company Profile

1. Unique Resource Advantages Yunnan Province boasts abundant wind energy resources. Owing to significant topographic effects at high altitudes, wind power utilization hours are notably high. Statistics show that Yunnan consistently ranks among the top two nationwide in terms of wind power utilization hours. Yunnan is also one of the China’s richest in solar energy resources, with annual sunshine duration range from 2,200 to 2,800 hours, particularly in central and northwestern Yunnan, as well as its dry-hot valley regions. Such abundant sunshine resources render the province highly suitable for the large-scale development of PV power generation. The Company’s Kunming Salt Mine and the Pu'er Salt Production Branch possess high-quality salt ore resources, characterized by thick deposits, high ore salinity, and high-grade salt layers. These favorable internal and external conditions endow the resources with prominent industrial development value. 2. Advantages of Ecological, Green, and Healthy Products. Yunnan Salt Industry Co., Ltd. is dedicated to becoming an "expert in the development of a full ecological salt industry chain", providing consumers with ecological, green, and healthy edible salt products. In June 2017, it became the first enterprise in China's salt industry to obtain the Protected Eco-origin Product (PEOP) certification. In 2021 and 2023, its Pu'er Salt Production Branch and Kunming Salt Production Branch were honored as a national "Green Factory" and as a provincial "Green Mine" in Yunnan Province respectively. Pu'er Salt Branch was certified as a zero-carbon factory in 2025, making it the first entity in the salt industry to achieve "zero-carbon factory" certification and winning the title of "Benchmark Enterprise for Green Manufacturing in Light Industry". A total of 23 "White Elephant" branded salt products have been identified as "Class A Green Food Products". Its"Ecological Yunnan Salt" series of products have been certified as "Ecological Well Mineral Salt", while two signature products- "Ecological Yunnan Salt - Ecological Well Mineral Salt" and "Ecological Yunnan Salt - Natural Calcium Salt" have been selected into the list of " Consumer Goods Upgrading list" by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. 3. Accelerate Deployment in Emerging Growth Segments and Advance Digital and Intelligent Transformation The 350MW Compressed Air Energy Storage Demonstration Project in Kunming Anning was officially launched in October 2025. It is a key project of Yunnan Province which supports the national "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" strategy and facilitates the development of a new-type power system. As the first high-altitude mountainous salt cavern compressed air energy storage project in southwest China, it will fill the technical gap of long-term physical energy storage in the province and offer a "Yunnan solution" for new energy accommodation and the stable operation of power grids in plateau areas. The integration of business and finance has been further advanced, realizing the automatic correlation and sharing of operational data such as procurement, production and sales with financial data, with the business-finance integration deepening continuously The new energy centralized control center has completed the data access and telecontrol joint commissioning for 15 stations and officially entered trial operation.The intelligent operation and maintenance platform (Phase I) has been completed and put into service, and the construction of Phase II is progressing steadily. 4. Advantages of Infrastructure Support Since 2021, Yunnan has completed and put into operation more than 800 main grid projects and 235 new energy supporting projects including the 500 kV Guanghui Power Transmission and Transformation Project. These developments have directly driven the 500 kV backbone grid from individual breakthroughs to cluster effects, maximizing the new energy accommodation. Meanwhile, Yunnan has actively advanced the construction of supporting facilities for renewable energy storage projects, including pumped storage, compressed-air energy storage and electrochemical energy storage projects, to further enhance the capacity for renewable energy consumption. 5. Advantages of Specialized and Innovative Enterprise and Technological Innovation. Yunnan Salt Industry Co., Ltd. has fully leveraged technological innovation to drive its development. Through cooperation with universities and research institutions, the Company has established technological innovation platforms, including the "Provincial Enterprise Technology Center", and carried out a series of innovations in the salt production process, green and low-carbon development, product quality improvement and other fields. Its production technologies and product quality rank among the leading levels in China, setting a benchmark for technological progress in the national salt industry. The Company has been recognized as a high-tech enterprise, a “Specialized, Sophisticated, Unique and Novel Small and Medium-sized Enterprise”and an“Innovative Small and Medium-sized Enterprise”in Yunnan Province, as well as a national intellectual property advantage enterprise and a Yunnan provincial intellectual property advantage enterprise.
