Investment suggestion: in this round of northward capital outflow, the shareholding of land stock connect in the public utility sector is relatively stable and is less affected by capital outflow. We believe that the energy transformation continues to advance, and the installed capacity of Fengguang is expected to increase significantly during the 14th Five Year Plan period. At the same time, the rising trend of electricity price will continue in 2022, and part of the electricity traded in the market is expected to benefit from the dividend of electricity price rise. In addition, the state has intensively issued favorable policies for energy storage, and the scale of energy storage is expected to expand rapidly in the future. In terms of specific targets, it is suggested to focus on [ Huaneng Power International Inc(600011) (a + H)] [China Resources Power] [ Huadian Power International Corporation Limited(600027) (a + H)], and the new energy operator is suggested to focus on [Longyuan Power (a + H)] [ Nyocor Co.Ltd(600821) ] [ Jilin Electric Power Co.Ltd(000875) ] [ China Three Gorges Renewables (Group) Co.Ltd(600905) ] [ Fujian Funeng Co.Ltd(600483) ]; It is suggested to pay attention to [ Jinko Power Technology Co.Ltd(601778) ] [Shuifa Xingye energy]; Suggestions on the subject of energy storage operation focus on [ Yunnan Wenshan Electric Power Co.Ltd(600995) ] [ Zhejiang Wanliyang Co.Ltd(002434) ], etc.

Risk tips: the policy promotion is less than expected, the power demand is less than expected, the risk of price reduction, the risk of coal price fluctuation, the expansion of the impact of covid-19 epidemic, etc.
