China Energy Investment Corp, the country's largest coal-fired power generator by capacity, is accelerating the deployment of artificial intelligence across core operational sectors, including smart mining, power generation and heavy-haul rail transport, company officials announced.

The integration of the "AI+ Energy" paradigm is delivering significant operational breakthroughs for the company, said Zhao Zhe, a spokesperson for CHN Energy, at a news briefing on corporate performance in Beijing on Wednesday.

These innovations have cut wind turbine maintenance time by 60 percent while boosting overall labor efficiency in smart coal mines to five times the national average, Zhao said.

According to Zhao, the State-owned enterprise's AI capabilities are centered around "Qingyuan", China's first 100-billion-parameter AI model designed specifically for the power industry.

Applied across more than 500 wind power stations operated by Longyuan Power, a subsidiary of CHN Energy, the model processes real-time data from 140 million kilowatts of installed capacity, he said.
