China's largest independent electricity provider has become a just a little bit greener.

Huaneng Power International says its 1,000 Megawatt ultra-supercritical coal-fired generating unit is officially on line, after the completion of a trial-run last Sunday. The new unit at Huaneng's Yuhuan Power Plant in eastern Zhejiang Province uses 15 percent less coal compared to standard units.

China is looking to increase numbers of environmentally friendly power stations, and also to upgrade existing units in order to cut levels of sulfur dioxide emissions.
