Core Insights - The report from Huatai Securities quantifies the impact of AI Token deployment on China's power industry, indicating that the transition to the reasoning era in AI could lead to a 10% elasticity in electricity demand, boosting green certificates and capacity prices [1][2]. Group 1: AI Industry Transition - The AI industry has shifted from a training era to a reasoning era, with a narrowing gap in computing power between domestic and overseas players. The Agent model is expected to drive exponential growth in Token consumption [1][2][9]. - If the global daily Token call volume reaches trillions, combined with a 30%-50% market share of domestic large models and 70%-90% local computing power deployment, Token deployment could increase China's electricity and power demand by 8% and 18%, respectively [1][2]. Group 2: Electricity Cost Dynamics - The importance of electricity costs in AI computing competition is increasing, with the share of electricity in unit Token costs rising significantly.
