The company's subsequent refinancing restrictions may be greatly alleviated and the financing flexibility will be greatly improved. The medium and long-term development plan of pumped storage has been implemented, and the construction of pumped storage may be accelerated. As the core main force of China's pumped storage construction, the growth prospect of the company's engineering construction business is good during the "14th five year plan".

At the same time, the pumped storage construction will further thicken the company's performance.
