Hua Er Jie Jian Wen·2026-01-14 07:22Core Insights - The core contradiction in AI infrastructure construction is shifting from merely pursuing GPU quantities to competing for power supply speed, with "Time-to-Power" becoming the most severe bottleneck in AI development [1] - Chinese power solution providers with rapid delivery capabilities and large-scale production advantages are experiencing a historic revaluation opportunity [1] Group 1: Power Supply Challenges - The average lifespan of power grids in the US and EU has reached 35 to 40 years, and the infrastructure is increasingly fragile due to the explosive energy demands of AI data centers (AIDC) [1] - Current domestic power equipment capacity in the US can only meet about 40% of local demand, with interconnection waiting times extending to nearly five years [1] - Goldman Sachs predicts that the power supply shortage in the US will persist until 2030, with a projected 175% increase in electricity consumption by data centers by 2030 [2][3] Group 2: Market Dynamics and Growth - The overall addressable market for AI data center power products is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 39% from 2025 to 2030 [3] - The growth is driven by continuous capacity construction, increasing power density, and a shift from AC to DC architecture, with 800V DC distribution becoming the standard for many AI data center projects [4] Group 3: Competitive Advantages of Chinese Suppliers - Chinese suppliers are gaining a decisive competitive advantage not only through lower costs but also through shorter delivery cycles, which have become a primary decision factor for data center operators [5] - Companies like Siyi Electric and Yinglite are positioned to benefit from the supply shortages in the US market, with Siyi Electric's revenue from the US expected to grow from 26% in 2026 to 28% in 2028 [5][6] Group 4: Product Prioritization - Goldman Sachs has provided a clear preference ranking for Chinese power supply-related product categories: gas turbine blades > power transformers > electrical components > uninterruptible power supplies/power racks > liquid cooling systems > server power [6][7] - Gas turbine blades rank highest due to high material science and manufacturing barriers, while power transformers follow due to labor-intensive manufacturing and lengthy certification processes [7]
