FLASH: Huadian sees limited tariff hit on new projects

China Huadian New Energy Corporation expects market-based electricity pricing reform to have a limited impact on its new projects, management said at a third-quarter results briefing on November 5. The company plans to concentrate investment on large-scale desert and gobi renewable bases, hydro-wind-solar projects and offshore wind, while adding new-energy storage and green direct-connection models. The comments are management guidance, not a quantified forecast. A manageable impact supports confidence in utility-scale solar construction, but price risk remains for projects that depend on market trading. Suppliers should watch tender timing and whether developers seek lower equipment costs to protect returns.
