The market-oriented electricity transaction price has increased, and the nuclear power price has begun to rise

Affected by the high coal price, from November 2021 to may 2022, the centralized bidding results of Jiangsu power were more than 460 yuan / MWh, nearly 20% higher than the benchmark on grid price of 391 yuan / MWh. Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, coal prices outside China have been upside down. We believe that China Shipbuilding Industry Group Power Co.Ltd(600482) coal is at the balance point of power supply and carbon reduction. The medium and long-term coal price has strong support. The market-oriented electricity transaction price of all provinces will rise. Nuclear power will participate in market-oriented transactions and follow the rise of thermal power price. In the first quarter of 2022, the China National Nuclear Power Co.Ltd(601985) gross profit margin reached 51.46%, a record high in a single quarter, with a month on month increase of 892pct, a net profit attributable to the parent company of 2.884 billion yuan, a month on month increase of 88.34%, and the logic of nuclear power price rise is being fulfilled.
