CITIC Securities Sees Turning Point for Domestic High-Voltage Equipment Leaders
CITIC Securities has released a research report indicating a positive outlook for domestic leaders in high-voltage equipment. Recent data from the State Grid's new e-commerce platform shows the公示 (public announcement) of the winning bidders for the third round of equipment tenders for the 2026 UHV (Ultra-High Voltage) projects, as well as the third round of tenders for power transmission and transformation projects (including cables). The total procurement amount for the first three batches of UHV projects this year has already surpassed the entire amount for 2025. High-voltage equipment procurement is also expected to remain at high levels, driven by the robust development of the main power grid infrastructure. CITIC Securities believes that domestic high-voltage equipment manufacturers, currently at a low point, are poised for a turning point.
The State Grid's substantial UHV and high-voltage equipment procurement signals a significant investment in power grid modernization and expansion. This trend, amplified by exceeding last year's total procurement within the first three batches of this year, suggests a strategic push towards enhanced energy transmission capacity. For leading domestic manufacturers, this presents a clear market opportunity, potentially driving growth and innovation. The analysis hinges on the sustained government commitment to infrastructure development and the ability of these companies to scale production and maintain quality amidst increased demand. Future considerations include the long-term impact of these investments on grid efficiency, energy security, and the potential for technological advancements in power transmission.
