## Company history

Shenhua Group, the state-owned predecessor to China Shenhua Energy, was established in October 1995. Shuohuang Railway began operating on 18 May 2000, marking an early milestone in the development of the group’s coal-transport infrastructure. China Shenhua Energy was incorporated as a joint-stock company on 8 November 2004, listed in Hong Kong in June 2005, and listed in Shanghai in October 2007. [20](https://eng.yidaiyilu.gov.cn/p/1972.html)[21](https://en.shenhuachina.com/zgshwwEn/qydt/202506/52c286effd5c4a24a6dcf69d4dccddb8.shtml)[22](https://en.shenhuachina.com/zgshwwEn/gsjj/gsjjList.shtml)

In 2010–11, the company pursued acquisitions of interests and assets in ten coal, power and related-business subsidiaries from Shenhua Group and affiliates. In December 2013, it completed the acquisitions of Baotou Coal Chemical and Jiujiang Power, expanding its coal-chemical and power businesses. [23](https://en.shenhuachina.com/uploadfiles/shenhua_china_en/1441960015357.pdf)[24](https://en.shenhuachina.com/uploadfiles/shenhua_china_en/1441959867575.pdf)[25](https://en.shenhuachina.com/uploadfiles/shenhua_china_en/1441961208960.pdf)

In 2017, China Guodian and Shenhua Group began a parent-level restructuring: Guodian was to merge into Shenhua Group, which was to be renamed China Energy Group. The reorganization was still in progress in China Shenhua’s 2018 interim report. [26](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P133073815)[27](https://en.sasac.gov.cn/2020/08/28/c_2177.htm) From 2023, China Shenhua pursued the acquisition of Dayan Mining and Hangjin Energy; the 2024 annual-report disclosure records the transfer of Dayan into Hangjin and completion of the Hangjin transaction by the time of that disclosure.
