Scheduled for completion by the end of '25, the plant will produce nacelles, hubs, towers and other critical components for wind power projects.

Profit Forecast and Investment Rating: Considering that the pace of wind farm construction has slowed down and the scale of wind farm transfer is lower than expected, we have lowered the net profit attributable to the parent company in 24~26 years to 20.9/27.4/3.26 billion yuan (the original value was 24.2/28.8/3.29 billion yuan), a year-on-year increase of +4.4%/+31.0%/19.0%, and the corresponding PE is 18.4/14.1/11,8X. There is a lot of upside and we maintain a "buy" rating.

Risk warning: intensification of competition, risk of changes in industry policies, risk of declining profitability of power station business, etc.
