Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" (maintained) [4] Core Viewpoints - As of July, the new energy installed capacity has halved month-on-month, continuing the impact of Document 136. By the end of July, the total installed power generation capacity in the country reached 3.67 billion kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 18.2%. Among this, solar power capacity reached 1.11 billion kilowatts, up 50.8% year-on-year, and wind power capacity reached 575 million kilowatts, up 22.1% year-on-year. The new installed capacity from January to July 2025 was 325 GW, a year-on-year increase of 75.7% [4][11][12] - In July, the new solar power installed capacity was 10 GW, which is more than halved compared to July 2024 (22 GW) and nearly halved compared to June 2025 (16 GW). The decline in July's solar installation aligns with market expectations, and the new installations are expected to concentrate in large base projects in the fourth quarter [5][14] - The new wind power installed capacity in July was 2.3 GW, showing a slight year-on-year decline and a significant month-on-month decrease, consistent with previous assessments. The decline in wind power installations highlights the importance of subjective initiative among operators [17] Summary by Sections Section 1: Power Generation - The cumulative installed capacity of power generation reached 3.67 billion kilowatts by the end of July, with a year-on-year growth of 18.2%. Solar power and wind power saw significant increases in installed capacity, with solar power growing by 50.8% and wind power by 22.1% [11][12] - The new installed capacity for solar power from January to July 2025 was 223 GW, a year-on-year increase of 80.7%, while wind power added 54 GW, up 79.4% year-on-year [4][11] Section 2: Green Methanol Projects - The opening rate of green methanol projects has improved, with several projects starting operations in response to the demand for green fuel in the shipping industry. The total planned capacity for green methanol in China is nearly 6 million tons per year, but the actual built capacity is less than 300,000 tons per year [7][22][26] - The demand for green methanol is primarily driven by the international shipping industry, with several shipping companies accelerating the procurement of methanol-fueled vessels. The first fully green methanol-fueled container ship set sail in July 2025 [22][26] - The opening rate of domestic green methanol projects is expected to improve, with over 600,000 tons per year of capacity expected to start in 2024 and around 1.5 million tons per year in 2025 [27][30]
