The Group plans to inject 4GW of new energy assets, the first batch of about 2GW

In order to implement the “Supplementary Letter of Commitment from China Energy Investment Group Co., Ltd. to avoid competition with Longyuan Electric Power Group Co., Ltd.”, the National Energy Group plans to start injecting shares of new energy companies that meet the injection conditions into the company in some of its provincial companies. The estimated installed capacity of new energy sources is about 4 million kilowatts, and the initial plan is to inject them in batches.

Recently, the company announced that it plans to acquire shares in 8 new energy companies in Shandong, Jiangxi, Gansu, and Guangxi, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the National Energy Group, in cash. The total installed capacity of the target companies in operation and construction is 2.0329 million kilowatts, of which 1.4469 million kilowatts are in operation and 0.586 million kilowatts; wind power is 1.316 million kilowatts, and PV 0.7169 million kilowatts.

Risk warning: the risk of a sharp decline in the macroeconomy; the risk of electricity price cuts; the risk of falling short of expectations in policy implementation; the risk of excessive industry competition; the risk of continuing delays in subsidies; the risk of corporate development projects falling short of expectations; uncertainty about asset injections, etc.
