电力成AI竞赛关键！一图梳理受益概念

Core Insights - The article emphasizes the critical role of electricity in the competition for artificial intelligence (AI) development, highlighting Elon Musk's assertion that future currency will be measured in wattage, and predicting that by 2026, China's electricity generation will reach three times that of the United States [1][5]. Electricity Generation Comparison - China's electricity generation capacity is projected to grow significantly, from 411 TWh in 1985 to 10,087 TWh by 2024, representing an increase of over 20 times [6]. - In contrast, the growth of electricity generation in the United States and the European Union has been relatively stable, with India's projected generation in 2024 being approximately one-fifth of China's [6]. Investment in Power Infrastructure - The State Grid Corporation of China plans to invest 4 trillion yuan during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, a 40% increase from the previous plan, aimed at enhancing the new power system's industrial chain and supply chain [7]. - The electric equipment industry is expected to benefit from the global data center construction boom, with demand for AIDC power equipment experiencing explosive growth [7]. - North America's long-term underinvestment in key areas such as high-voltage transformers and distribution equipment is expected to create a demand surge for related infrastructure, particularly as AI data center loads increase [7]. Competitive Landscape - Chinese power equipment companies are anticipated to maintain a competitive edge in the North American market due to their scale manufacturing capabilities and overseas delivery experience, especially as local production faces cyclical and cost constraints [7].
