国家电投一年甩卖180亿风光项目，“绿电之王”到底怎么了？

Core Viewpoint - Since 2024, state-owned enterprises have been actively selling photovoltaic power station assets, with China Power Investment Corporation (known as "State Power Investment") leading the trend, indicating a significant shift in the market dynamics of renewable energy assets [1][3]. Group 1: Asset Sales by State Power Investment - State Power Investment has transferred stakes in nearly 40 renewable energy companies, involving a total installed capacity of over 3.2 GW and an estimated transaction value of approximately 18 billion yuan [1][3]. - The company has initiated a series of asset sales, including the termination of projects like the 100 MW household photovoltaic project in Shandong due to rising rooftop leasing costs and low return on assets [3][4]. - By April 2024, State Power Investment had transferred stakes in 24 renewable energy companies, marking a significant shift in its operational strategy [4][6]. Group 2: Changes in Renewable Energy Development Logic - The underlying logic of renewable energy development has changed, with increasing uncertainty in electricity generation and pricing, posing challenges for future growth [8][9]. - Previously, renewable energy enjoyed priority purchasing rights and higher subsidy prices, but the market has shifted towards lower prices and increased competition, leading to a decline in project return rates [9][10]. - State Power Investment has recognized the need to adapt to these changes by prioritizing projects with higher return rates and disposing of underperforming assets [10][11]. Group 3: Transition to Comprehensive Smart Energy Operations - To ensure sustainable development, State Power Investment is transitioning from being a pure project developer to a comprehensive smart energy operator, focusing on local energy consumption and flexible energy management [11][12]. - This transition is crucial for improving the utilization rate of renewable energy projects and ensuring their profitability in a constrained system [12][14]. - Other state-owned enterprises are also following suit, with over 30 companies reportedly listing renewable energy assets for sale as they seek to maintain project profitability [12][13].
