擎画“完美故事”系列报告（四）：AI电力的“攻守易形”

Core Conclusions - AI has entered phase two: shifting focus from "hard investment" to "soft efficiency" as the demand for computing power surges while power supply bottlenecks become prominent [1][2] - Addressing power supply issues is essential for tech giants to meet their 2026 commitments, as the marginal benefits of merely acquiring computing power are diminishing [2] - The shift from "computing power support" to "power core" reflects China's advantages in the AI supply chain, particularly in power grid equipment and renewable energy technologies [3][4] Industry Insights - China's power system is not just a temporary advantage but a systemic lead, with one-third of global power generation capacity and significant green energy contributions [4] - The comprehensive technology leadership across the entire power industry chain, including self-developed ultra-high voltage equipment and smart grid operations, positions China favorably [4] - The synergy of national strategy and market mechanisms ensures a stable and reliable power system with relatively low electricity prices [4] Investment Opportunities - The power gap in the U.S. AI race presents significant opportunities for the renewable energy sector, with a critical turning point expected by 2026 [5] - Recommended areas for investment include upstream raw materials (key metals, cooling liquids, special steel, lithium battery materials), power generation manufacturing (gas turbine, solar, wind, storage, nuclear), and transmission and distribution companies [5][6]
