Guodian will dig deeper into coal

China Guodian Corp (Guodian), one of the five leading power producers in the country, will expand its main business into coal mine development.

Apart from power and heat production and supply, Guodian can also take part in coal mine development, said a statement of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC).

The SASAC also approved two other big State-owned companies, COFCO and Poly Group, to cover other business areas such as energy and mining resources.
