Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the rapid development of renewable energy has significantly impacted coal power demand, leading to concerns about a potential decline in coal consumption in the future. However, the company believes that the era of rapid growth for renewables is over, and the marginal impact on coal power will weaken, with a demand turning point for coal expected around 2027 [1][3]. - Over the past decade, driven by favorable policies, China's renewable energy generation capacity and output have grown rapidly, with total wind and solar capacity reaching 1.4 billion kilowatts by the end of 2024, six years ahead of the 2030 target. Consequently, the share of coal power generation capacity has decreased from 66.75% in 2015 to 43.88% in 2024 [1]. - The share of coal power generation has also declined from 75.39% in 2015 to 64.51% in 2024, with coal power generation growth significantly lagging behind overall electricity consumption growth since 2024 [1]. Group 2 - The pressure for renewable energy consumption is increasing, with the "430" and "531" policies set to be implemented. The "430" policy, effective January 2025, will significantly reduce the profitability of distributed solar projects, ending the previous model of easy profits from installed capacity. The "531" policy will push renewables into market trading, likely leading to further declines in settlement prices compared to coal benchmarks [2]. - The company anticipates that the new policies will lead to a decline in renewable energy installations, with 2024 potentially marking a peak in renewable capacity. The greatest pressure on coal power is expected in 2025, but with steady growth in electricity demand driven by sectors like electric vehicles and AI, coal consumption may see a turning point upwards by 2027 [3].
