Summary of the Conference Call for Tibet Tianlu (2025) Industry Overview - The cement demand in Tibet for the first half of 2025 remained stable compared to previous years, influenced by climate conditions leading to fewer project initiations. However, the launch of the Yarlung Tsangpo Hydropower Station project is expected to boost demand in the second half of the year, although the completion of the 14th Five-Year Plan may delay new projects [2][4]. Key Points and Arguments - **Yarlung Tsangpo Hydropower Station Impact**: The preliminary engineering of the Yarlung Tsangpo Hydropower Station is expected to generate limited growth in cement demand. The company is involved in a segment with a total investment of approximately 75 million yuan, which is projected to require about 360,000 tons of cement and nearly 100,000 tons of water-reducing agents annually [2][5]. - **Competition and Pricing**: The establishment of the Yarlung Tsangpo Group and the price control measures for the Sichuan-Tibet Railway may affect the competitiveness of local enterprises. The pricing is set by the National Development and Reform Commission, which could limit the ability of local companies to adjust prices [2][6]. - **Local Market Dynamics**: Local companies have a significant competitive advantage in the墨脱 Hydropower Station project, as low-cost enterprises from Qinghai and Yunnan face challenges entering the region. This advantage is expected to help increase market share and stabilize price levels [2][7]. - **Production Costs**: There is a significant variance in cement production costs across Tibet, with costs in the Changdu region ranging from 530 to 550 yuan per ton, while costs in the Gaozheng region are about 380 yuan per ton. The implementation of logistics corridor projects is anticipated to reduce costs in Changdu [2][9]. - **Coal Prices**: Although coal prices have decreased since the pandemic, they remain higher than pre-pandemic levels, with procurement and transportation costs around 1,100 to 1,200 yuan per ton, impacting cement production costs [2][10]. - **Cement Price Adjustments**: Recent price increases in the Lhasa region have been between 20 to 30 yuan per ton, with expectations for further adjustments in the third quarter. However, antitrust policies may limit the extent of these increases [2][13]. Additional Important Insights - **Demand Drivers**: The demand for cement in the first half of 2025 was primarily driven by the Sichuan-Tibet Railway and the civil construction market. Despite a lack of price increases, the demand volume was substantial. However, slow progress on infrastructure projects in high-altitude areas led to a decline in revenue in some regions [3][4][17]. - **Capacity Utilization**: The current capacity utilization rate is low, with only 50-60 tons during the off-season and similar levels in the second quarter. Full production is constrained by staggered production requirements and market demand [2][11]. - **Government Intervention**: The market is primarily dominated by a few major cement companies, with limited government intervention. However, any approval for new production capacity could impact existing companies [2][14][15]. - **Supply Chain and Logistics**: The company has increased its supply to the Sichuan-Tibet Railway, expecting to reach 300,000 to 400,000 tons, which may account for about 10% of total sales. Long-distance high-growth projects are expected to contribute significantly to this figure [2][16]. - **Future Opportunities**: The company may have opportunities to participate in hydropower station construction projects and collaborate with China Power Construction, leveraging its strengths in energy construction [2][19].

"雅下水电并非短期炒作概念。去年12月，新华社便曾报道该项目已经获得中国政府的正式核准，电力 设备产业链有望受益于中长期投资拉动。"有分析人士表示，雅下水电将为中国加快构建新发展格局、 推动高质量发展发挥积极作用，同时也对深入推进"双碳"战略、应对全球气候变化具有重大意义。 三峡工程的6倍投资 据官方材料，雅下水电位于西藏自治区林芝市。工程主要采取截弯取直、隧洞引水的开发方式，建设5 座梯级电站，总投资约1.2万亿元。工程电力以外送消纳为主，兼顾西藏本地自用需求。 1.2万亿元的投资有多大？据国家审计署公告数据显示，三峡工程总投资额为2072亿元，也就是说雅下 水电的总投资额约为三峡工程的6倍。 从工程建设投资来看，根据水电水利规划建设总院发布的《2023年度中国可再生能源工程造价管理报 告》，2023年核准的水电项目平均造价为20344元/kW。据此推算雅下水电装机预计为6000万千瓦。 "通常来说，水电项目中永久性建筑工程占比约为32%-45%，临时工程投资占比约15%-20%，建筑工程 相关投资占比约为47%-65%，取区间均值56%，则雅下水电能够带来的建筑工程投资量达6720亿 元。"光大证券建筑工 ...
