Summary of Xi Zi Energy Conference Call Industry and Company Overview - Company: Xi Zi Energy - Industry: Solar Thermal Power Generation, Energy Storage, Nuclear Power Key Points and Arguments 1. Cost Reduction and Policy Support: Xi Zi Energy benefits from the decline in solar thermal power generation costs and supportive policies, with the cost per kilowatt-hour in Qinghai dropping to around 0.5 yuan, and a benchmark price of 0.55 yuan being established. By 2026, subsidies for capacity will increase to 330 yuan per kilowatt, enhancing the profitability of molten salt storage to over 7% [2][5][10] 2. Market Potential in Solar Thermal Power: The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) encourages the construction of 3GW of solar thermal power annually. Xi Zi Energy, as a major equipment supplier, focuses on heat collectors, thermal storage tanks, and heat exchangers, with an estimated market share of 20%, translating to approximately 3 billion yuan in net profit annually [2][6] 3. Molten Salt Storage Advantages: Molten salt storage technology shows significant advantages in deep peak shaving for thermal power, allowing load reductions to around 10%. The cost of 1GWh is approximately 340 million yuan, significantly lower than chemical storage costs, with a design life of 30 years, leading to an expected profit increase of 3-4 billion yuan from flexible thermal power renovations [2][7][8] 4. Future of Thermal Power: The NDRC mandates the renovation of 200-400 million kilowatts of thermal power capacity by 2027, with 600 million kilowatts already partially renovated, indicating substantial market potential for molten salt storage systems [9] 5. International Market Demand: Xi Zi Energy's main business includes waste heat boilers used in gas and coal power generation, with strong demand anticipated in international markets, particularly the U.S. and developing countries. Domestic thermal power construction is expected to remain stable [3] 6. Nuclear Power Opportunities: The company has obtained a manufacturing license for civil nuclear safety equipment, aiming for a 10% market share in nuclear power equipment, with projected orders of 2-3 billion yuan and profits of 300-400 million yuan by 2030 [4][11] 7. Diversification in Energy Technologies: Xi Zi Energy is diversifying into various cutting-edge energy technologies, including solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and pumped storage, with a projected market valuation of over 20 times, corresponding to 600 million yuan in profits by 2030 [4][12] Other Important Insights - Industrial Heating Projects: A specific project in Shaoxing involves an investment of 320 million yuan, generating annual profits of around 10 million yuan, potentially increasing to 60 million yuan with sufficient transformer capacity, indicating a five-year payback period [4][10] - Technological Advancements: The company is actively exploring advancements in energy technologies, including collaborations with research institutions for next-generation nuclear reactors, showcasing a commitment to innovation and long-term growth [11][12]
