大摩十五五电力规划展望，利好风电电网储能电池，航空油运上行周期稳固

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call discusses the outlook for the power sector in China, particularly focusing on the "14th Five-Year Plan" (十四五) and "15th Five-Year Plan" (十五五) periods, emphasizing the transition towards renewable energy sources and the role of independent energy storage systems [1][2][5]. Core Insights and Arguments Power Generation - Existing new coal-fired power projects are expected to be operational by 2025, while nuclear power is projected to peak in production around 2027-2028, with 10-12 units approved annually since 2021 [1][2]. - The demand for wind power remains resilient, with annual installations expected to be between 100-120 GW during the "15th Five-Year Plan," particularly in offshore wind energy [1][3][4]. Renewable Energy - Solar photovoltaic (PV) installations are anticipated to decline to 150-200 GW in 2026 due to policy impacts but are expected to recover thereafter [3][4]. - The overall electricity demand in China is projected to grow at a rate above GDP growth, with a forecasted increase of 5% in 2025, driven by rising electrification levels [5][6]. Energy Storage - The independent energy storage sector is witnessing increased investment from private enterprises, driven by the rising share of renewable energy and supportive local government policies, particularly in Shanxi Province [7][8]. - The demand for energy storage is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25% over the next five years, with a significant increase in demand for materials like aluminum due to the rise in storage capacity [11][16]. Market Dynamics - The cancellation of subsidies for new energy passenger vehicles may lead to a potential decline in demand, but a growth rate of at least 6% is still anticipated [13]. - The market for electric light and heavy trucks is expected to exceed expectations, with penetration rates projected to reach 30% for heavy trucks and 25% for light trucks by 2026 [14]. Additional Important Insights - The economic viability of the energy storage market has improved significantly post the introduction of policy 136, leading to a more optimistic market sentiment [10]. - The global market for electrolytic aluminum and copper is expected to face shortages in 2026, with lithium markets remaining balanced but potentially tight in certain months [17]. - The upcoming renewal of duty-free contracts at major airports like Shanghai and Beijing is expected to enhance profitability, with potential increases in profit margins from improved duty-free consumption [20]. This summary encapsulates the critical insights and projections regarding the power and renewable energy sectors in China, highlighting both opportunities and challenges in the evolving market landscape.
