Lianghekou Hydropower Station is a cascade hydropower station in the middle reaches of the Yalong River. It has the largest reservoir in the Yalong River Basin, with a total storage capacity of 10.8 billion cubic meters. After the impoundment of the reservoir, through scientific regulation, compensation and regulation, the power generation of the middle and lower reaches of hydropower stations in the dry season can be increased by 22.5 billion kwh without increasing material investment.

The construction of a new batch of Yazhong hydropower stations was carried out in an orderly manner. At present, mengdigou and Kara hydropower stations are under construction, with a total installed capacity of 3.42gw, and are expected to be put into operation during the Tenth Five Year Plan period. According to the strategic planning of Yalong River hydropower company, 4-5 main cascade hydropower stations in the middle reaches (including the completed Yangfanggou and Lianghekou) will be built by 2030. The total installed capacity will reach more than 23gw by 2030, which still has 20% growth space compared with the current.

Yalong River new energy project is expected to break through and become a new performance growth point

In the 14th five year energy development plan of Sichuan Province, it is proposed to accelerate the development of wind power and Cecep Solar Energy Co.Ltd(000591) power generation, and plan to build a comprehensive renewable energy development base integrating water and scenery in the upper reaches of Jinsha River, the lower reaches of Jinsha River, Yalong River and the middle and upper reaches of Dadu River. Yalong River Basin is rich in scenery resources, with a scale to be developed of more than 40gw. Relying on the dispatching and regulation of cascade hydropower stations such as Lianghekou, it can effectively smooth the fluctuation of scenery output and improve the utilization rate of scenery.

According to the company’s annual report, Yalong river company has steadily promoted the M & A and development of wind power and photovoltaic power generation projects along the river. After successfully acquiring Dechang wind power company, it has obtained the approval of labashan wind power project in Dechang County, and established Yalong River Yanyuan new energy Co., Ltd. to develop Yanyuan County new energy project. It is expected that the riverside scenery project is expected to make a breakthrough, further thicken the company’s investment income and become a new performance growth point.

Valuation analysis and rating description
