GDPD(SH:600795) 3 6 Ke·2026-02-02 02:35Core Viewpoint - The recent adjustment of the market-oriented grid connection project list in Shandong Province, which removed 63 photovoltaic power station projects with a total capacity of 5.839 million kilowatts, has raised significant concerns in the market due to the involvement of 35 central state-owned enterprises [1][4]. Group 1: Project Adjustments - The Shandong Provincial Energy Bureau has emphasized strict scrutiny for future new energy project applications following the removal of the delayed projects [1]. - The 63 projects removed include significant capacities from major state-owned enterprises, with China Power Investment Corporation losing 1.598 million kilowatts, and other companies like Huaneng and Huadian also facing substantial cuts [2][5]. - A total of 29 projects with a capacity of 2.978 million kilowatts have been granted a reprieve, allowing them to be included in the 2026 construction list, requiring completion by the end of 2026 [4][5]. Group 2: Broader Industry Trends - The trend of project cancellations is not limited to Shandong; various regions have seen similar phenomena, with significant withdrawals from projects by major state-owned enterprises across the country [6]. - In Yunnan, over 800,000 kilowatts of photovoltaic projects have been withdrawn, with some projects being offered for transfer at symbolic prices [6]. - A total of 143 wind and solar projects have been canceled across six provinces, amounting to 10.67 gigawatts, with 67 of those being solar projects totaling 546.81 megawatts [6][7]. Group 3: Financial Viability Concerns - The primary reason for the withdrawal of projects by state-owned enterprises is financial losses due to plummeting electricity prices and reduced generation capacity [9]. - The average market price for photovoltaic electricity has dropped significantly, with some regions reporting prices as low as a few cents per kilowatt-hour, which is far below the benchmark coal price [9][10]. - The phenomenon of electricity curtailment has also worsened, with some regions experiencing curtailment rates exceeding 30%, further impacting the financial viability of photovoltaic projects [10].
