全球缺电催生投资新机遇 机构称电力投资关注四大方向

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that a new wave of electricity investment is emerging globally due to increasing electricity supply shortages, driven by factors such as surging electricity demand from AI data centers in the US, energy transition pains in Europe, and accelerated industrialization in emerging markets [1] - Since 1980, there have been five cycles of electricity shortages globally, with each cycle leading to a significant increase in investment related to electricity and power grids [1] - China is positioned as a key player in global electricity construction, benefiting from a robust power system and manufacturing advantages, which present substantial growth opportunities for domestic industry chain enterprises [1] Group 2 - Investment focus areas include: 1) Equipment demand growth from power system construction, including storage, power equipment, and photovoltaics; 2) Upstream resource products benefiting from power system construction, such as copper and aluminum; 3) Scarce raw materials due to rising demand for new energy; 4) Companies actively transforming due to rising electricity prices, such as cryptocurrency mining farms [1] - High-interest ETFs related to electricity system construction are attracting significant capital, with notable funds including the photovoltaic ETF (560980), energy storage battery ETF (159305), and the largest battery ETF (159755), which has seen over 900 million yuan in net inflows over three trading days [2] - The rare metals ETF (159608) has also attracted substantial investment, with a recent scale exceeding 800 million yuan, reflecting strong interest in upstream resource products related to electricity system construction [2] Group 3 - The electric equipment and new energy industry is at the beginning of a new cycle, with global new energy installed capacity expected to increase significantly during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, leading to revolutionary changes in the power system [3] - High proportions of wind and solar energy integration will create massive storage and capacity demands, while global investments in power grids, especially in Europe and the US, will continue to rise to meet carbon neutrality goals [3] - Basic changes in the electricity market are expected to manifest by 2026, driven by increased electricity consumption due to AI and rising electricity prices from grid adjustment and transformation costs [3]
