Overall Viewpoint - The National Grid is expected to reach a fixed asset investment of 4 trillion yuan during the "14th Five-Year Plan," representing a 40% increase compared to the "13th Five-Year Plan," with an average annual compound growth rate of 7%, slightly exceeding expectations. This investment is driven by counter-cyclical adjustments, benefiting areas such as ultra-high voltage, main distribution networks, smart technology, and key projects like hydropower and clean energy bases [4]. Group 1: Hydrogen and Ammonia - During the "14th Five-Year Plan," the hydrogen and ammonia sector is expected to benefit from China's future industry developments and the EU carbon tariff in 2026. Shanghai is progressing rapidly, with plans to establish an international green fuel refueling and trading center by 2030, targeting a million-ton level for green methanol and biofuels [5]. Group 2: AIDC Power Supply - The domestic AIDC construction is promising and can align with AI applications for sector rotation. Internationally, the HVDC solutions are expected to expand, and progress in SST technology cooperation is anticipated. The capital expenditure for North American data centers in 2027 will be assessed during the US stock annual report period [5]. Group 3: Power Grid - A resonant pattern is expected to form between overseas and domestic power grid investments, with positive expectations for both. The construction of the hydropower grid and the integration of power and computing resources are areas that require close monitoring due to lower expectations [5]. Group 4: Lithium Battery and Energy Storage - The demand side for lithium batteries is currently competitive, with domestic energy storage tenders for 2026 still needing tracking. The overseas energy storage market is influenced by North American computing and electricity shortages, while domestic storage follows policy expectations and lithium material price trends. The lithium battery industry is currently thriving, but after the price increase expectations are realized, stock prices may lack upward momentum, making it essential to focus on new technologies like solid-state batteries [5].
