The SME Board Management Department of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange expressed concern about this and asked the company to verify and make written explanations on the following matters:
First, according to your company's response to our department's concern letter (small and medium-sized board concern letter [2021] No. 65), your company in 2020 for 10MW molten salt tower type photothermal power station and related waste heat power generation projects, respectively, after the impairment of 0.357 billion yuan, 0.091 billion yuan, the net book value of the relevant assets is 0. Please add your company to explain the market competition of solar thermal power generation, energy storage business and waste heat power generation business, the company's position in the industry, its contribution to operating income and its proportion, the EIA of the projects involved in the above business, the environmental protection penalties received in the past three years, and the relevant risks are fully reminded in combination with the above-mentioned asset impairment.
Answer: 1. Solar thermal power generation is a clean energy that can avoid the current fluctuations and intermittency of photovoltaic and wind power. Since solar thermal power generation has its own energy storage system during the construction process and the back-end is directly generated by steam turbines, when the energy storage capacity reaches a certain scale, it can achieve 24-hour power generation and can operate flexibly at low load. To a certain extent, it can replace thermal power as the basic load or as the peak power supply of the energy base.
Due to the difficulty of system integration and large initial investment, there are not many domestic companies participating in the competition. The company's solar thermal power generation business is in a leading position in China. After several years of research and development and project operation, the company has accumulated more mature relevant experience and professional technology in the field of solar thermal power generation, and has made great breakthroughs and innovations on the basis of practical operation. At present, the company also has tower, trough, butterfly-type photothermal power generation technology, and related core equipment in addition to individual components, are independent research and development production. For example, the heat collection tower, mirror field and control system, molten salt storage equipment, special materials, reducer, air cooling system, etc. of the molten salt tower solar thermal power station are all developed, produced, installed and debugged by the company itself. At the same time, the company also has technical reserves and operation accumulation from photothermal power generation design, material development, equipment manufacturing and supply, EPC general contracting of photothermal power station to power station maintenance of the whole industrial chain. In Tianjin and Dunhuang, Gansu, the company has production and assembly workshops for photothermal power generation metal backplate stamping automatic production line, sub-mirror bonding curing and inspection production line, heliostat structure assembly and surface adjustment and inspection production line.
The company has obtained 49 patent certificates for technical achievements in solar thermal power generation and 6 copyrights in solar thermal power generation (excluding patents and copyrights that have been notified of acceptance). The company's 100MW solar thermal power generation project heat collection, heat storage energy, heat exchange system, concentrating system, production line detection technology, and heat-absorbing gas technology have all obtained the scientific and technological achievement appraisal report issued by the Renewable Energy Association, and won the China Renewable Energy Association Science and Technology Progress Award.
The company undertook the construction of the first 50MW trough-type photothermal power generation demonstration project in China invested by CGNPC, Sun Island EPC, the company invested and operated the Dunhuang 100MW photothermal power generation demonstration project, the company is currently under construction in Yumen 100MW molten salt tower photothermal power generation project. In addition, the company is also actively expanding overseas solar thermal power generation projects.
The company's Dunhuang 10MW project and Dunhuang Phase II 100MW project are separate mirror field and heat absorption tower projects, the two projects do not interfere with each other, independent accounting. According to the reply letter issued by the company on February 6, 2021, the company's 10MW molten salt tower solar thermal power generation project is a pilot solar thermal power generation project. The asset impairment of the 10MW project is mainly due to the failure to obtain the national solar thermal power generation demonstration electricity price at present. Therefore, the accrual does not affect the operation and benefits of Dunhuang Phase II 100MW molten salt tower solar thermal power generation project and Yumen 100MW solar thermal power generation project currently under construction, which have obtained the national demonstration electricity and are in the optimization commissioning.
The contribution of solar thermal power generation to operating income and its proportion: in 2019, the operating income of solar thermal power generation was 62,747,909.30 yuan, accounting for 8.43; in 2020, the operating income of solar thermal power generation was 125,974,539.93 yuan, accounting for 29.10 (the amount was not audited, and the final audit data shall prevail).
The Dunhuang 10MW and 100MW solar thermal power generation projects have obtained the "Construction Project Environmental Impact Report Form" issued by the Environmental Protection Department of Gansu Province and the Jiuquan Environmental Protection Bureau of Gansu Province, respectively, and the projects meet the environmental protection requirements. There have been no environmental penalties for the past three years.
Due to the complexity of system integration and the characteristics of large initial investment in the solar thermal power generation project, there may be a risk that the power station cannot meet the design parameters and thus affect the efficiency of the power station, and there is a risk of not obtaining sufficient funds to invest in the construction of the new power station, so please pay attention to the relevant risks.
2, the first aviation high-tech in energy storage and auxiliary peak service technology, mainly based on the company's own technical reserves and customer resources to actively carry out related business. According to the requirements of the Energy Administration for the construction of the first batch of national photothermal power generation projects (requiring more than 4 hours of heat storage), the photothermal power generation project built by Shouhang Gaoke is itself a new energy storage power station. At present, the domestic energy storage and power auxiliary service market is still in its infancy, and the future market space is very large. With the support of national policies, it is expected that the overall competitive environment will be good for a long time in the future.
At present, the company has formed technology and programs in this area, has completed a number of power plant technology promotion, according to the existing policy and user requirements for deep peak energy storage time to determine the program to promote the landing of the project. In addition, the company undertook the research and demonstration of key technologies for high-temperature molten salt concentrated power generation technology and heat storage peak shaving technology in Gansu Province in 2020 ". The project leader is Dr. Gao Feng, chairman of the board of supervisors and chief engineer of the company. The project is a major scientific and technological project in the industrial field of Gansu Province.
As the domestic energy storage and ancillary services market is still in its infancy, there are uncertain expectations of policy introduction in the future or the risk that the company's technology and cost competitiveness are not strong, so please pay attention to the majority of investors.
Energy storage business is currently in the promotion stage, there is no separate project order, no related operating income.
3, the company's waste heat power generation business is mainly concentrated in the natural gas pipeline pressure station industry, due to the characteristics of the industry and upstream natural gas pipeline enterprises contract signing, gas transmission and other factors, the current domestic competition of only a few companies. The natural gas industry is in line with the development direction of the national energy strategy, and the pipeline network construction and gas transmission capacity are still in the rapid development stage.
The company's waste heat power generation business is mainly constructed and operated through its subsidiary Xinjiang Xituo Energy Group Co., Ltd., which signed an agreement with PetroChina Pipeline United Western Branch and PetroChina Northwest United Pipeline Company.
