The net profit excluding non-recurring items was 406 million yuan, an increase of 2.52% [1]. - For Q1 2025, the company reported operating revenue of 2.994 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 1.38%. The net profit attributable to shareholders was 90 million yuan, an increase of 18.24%, while the net profit excluding non-recurring items was 89 million yuan, an increase of 5.90% [1]. Product and Market Development - The company's main product, photovoltaic conductive paste, generated revenue of 12.321 billion yuan in 2024, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 20.75%. The total shipment of photovoltaic conductive paste reached 2024 tons, with N-type conductive paste accounting for 1,576 tons, representing 77.87% of the total shipments [1]. - The company is investing 1.2 billion yuan to establish a "high-end photovoltaic electronic materials base project" in Changzhou, which will enable large-scale production of electronic-grade metal powders. Additionally, a 300 million yuan investment is planned for a "special electronic functional materials factory and R&D center" [2]. Innovation and Future Growth - The company has pioneered the production of copper paste products for the photovoltaic sector, including pure copper paste and silver-coated copper paste, which significantly reduce battery metallization costs and fragment rates. These products have shown excellent performance in reliability tests and are expected to achieve large-scale shipments, providing new growth momentum for the industry [2]. - Profit forecasts for the company indicate expected net profits of 499 million yuan, 607 million yuan, and 747 million yuan for 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively, with corresponding EPS of 2.06, 2.51, and 3.09 yuan, and PE ratios of 15.50, 12.74, and 10.36 times [2].

报道称，中国电池企业已占据全球储能系统近90%的产能，在美国和欧洲市场份额分别超过80%和 75%。然而，随着美国关税壁垒的升级，韩国电池企业正试图借机在欧美市场重振旗鼓。 储能系统通过管理软件调控成组电池模块，帮助国家电网及家庭、企业和工厂应对风能和太阳能供应的 波动。未来十年，随着人工智能硬件、电动汽车等清洁技术对电力需求的激增，储能系统还将为电网提 供关键备用支持。 国际能源署本月报告预测，AI数据中心全球用电需求将在未来五年翻番，占美国2030年前电力需求增 长的近半数。电池咨询公司Rho Motion研究主管Iola Hughes指出："储能常被视为可再生能源领域最缺 乏吸引力的环节，但它恰恰是未来保障各国电力稳定的核心技术。" 据Rho Motion数据，储能电池市场份额已从2020年的5%攀升至当前的20%。全球储能容量在2023-2024 年间增长52%，预计将从去年的340吉瓦时跃升至2030年的760吉瓦时（相当于760万辆电动汽车电池总 和）。蓬勃发展的储能市场甚至帮助特斯拉弥补了电动汽车销售疲软——其家用Powerwall和电网级 Megapack储能产品需求激增，CEO马斯克称该业务 ...

文 | 中关村储能产业技术联盟综合整理 据央视新闻4月29日报道，西班牙和葡萄牙28日遭遇大规模停电，影响超过5000万伊比利亚半岛民众，交通、通信、医疗等关键领域一度瘫痪， 法国南部等周边地区也受短暂波及。 欧盟委员会执行副主席里贝拉表示，目前无任何证据表明导致伊比利亚半岛大面积停电的原因是网络攻击。此次大停电是近年来欧洲记录到的 最 严重停电事件之一。 目前，官方尚未给出正式的停电原因，仍需时日调查确定。 西班牙电网运营商Red Eléctrica 负责人Eduardo Prieto 4月28日表示：停电由"电网的强烈振荡"引发，该振荡导致西班牙电力系统与欧洲电网断 开。他提到的"强烈震荡"，也就是首相桑切斯在讲话中提到的"技术层面出现重大波动"。 功率开始快速变化时，就会引起电网的振荡，最终导致崩溃停电。比如，大规模负荷接入或切除会引起发电功率和负荷需求之间的不平衡，导致 电网振荡出现。 葡萄牙电网运营商REN认为 ：电网的这次异常振荡可能与西班牙的极端气温变化有关。该公司专家称，极端气温波动导致了400kV以上的超高压 电网振荡。 能源分析师表示，如此大规模的停电在富裕国家并不常见，鉴于伊比利亚半岛对 ...

【环球时报特约记者 王逸 环球时报记者 白云怡】当地时间29日，西班牙国家电网宣布，截至当天早上6时，全国超过 99% 的电力供应已恢复。从28日中午 起，西班牙全国突然大停电，民众日常生活陷入瘫痪——飞机停飞、公共交通中断、医院被迫暂停日常运营……西班牙宣布进入"国家紧急状态"。大停电还 蔓延到包括葡萄牙在内的整个伊比利亚半岛，6000多万人在没有电、互联网或手机信号的情况下度过了数小时。虽然如今停电已结束数小时，但导致这场大 停电的具体原因仍未查明。葡萄牙和西班牙方面归咎于邻国，有关"网络攻击"的传言也引发担忧。不过，有分析称，这场灾难性停电发生在西班牙刚刚庆祝 其国家电网"首次在工作日实现100%可再生能源运行"仅仅6天之后。有专家称，这引发了对欧洲能源转型脆弱性的担忧。欧盟委员会发言人29日称，欧盟将 从这次停电中"吸取教训"。 " 前所未有的混乱 " 西班牙国家电网公司系统运行主管普列托接受《先锋报》采访时则称："由于电力损失规模超出欧洲电网的设计承受范围，法国和西班牙的电网连接中断， 进而导致西班牙电力系统崩溃。" 至于引发这场大停电的电力损失为何突然出现，据英国《卫报》29日报道，葡萄牙国家能源 ...
