Abstract: Five "national-level" PV companies have joined forces and guided two central state-owned enterprises to focus on new energy and Guodian PV. Together, they plan to develop a solar power plant with a total installed capacity of 5GW over the next five years. According to the cooperation agreement, the planned capacities are expected to be 400MW in 2013, 600MW in 2014, and 1GW in 2015.
Xiaoxin, a researcher at China Investment Consulting, highlights that the current challenges in the photovoltaic industry cannot be resolved by a single entity alone. He emphasizes the need for collaboration at the national level, from local governments to major PV players, banks, and grid companies. Such joint efforts could provide the industry with a realistic path out of its current difficulties. The entry of state-owned enterprises into the PV sector is not just a trend but a necessary evolution, with more SOEs expected to enter the market in the future.
The distinction between state-owned and private enterprises in the photovoltaic industry is not clear-cut. There's no natural monopoly in this sector, and while early pioneers were mostly private firms, it doesn't mean that state-owned enterprises can't play a significant role. In fact, SOEs possess strong advantages in capital, management, policy support, and operational background, giving them a solid latecomer advantage. As the industry undergoes structural adjustments and production capacity optimization, SOEs can leverage these opportunities to avoid many of the missteps made by earlier entrants.
Moreover, the financial strength of state-owned enterprises is particularly notable. With the entire industry’s capital chain being quite fragile, many PV giants are struggling with operational challenges. If banks don’t loosen their credit policies, a wave of mergers and acquisitions may become inevitable. State-owned enterprises can provide rapid financial support—essentially acting as a “blood transfusion†to the industry—and take on more downstream expansion tasks. With the combined efforts of both state-owned and private enterprises, the photovoltaic sector is expected to stabilize and recover quickly.
A manager from an industry research department noted that the phenomenon of “state-driven advancement and retreat†has already emerged in the PV sector. While private capital may not want to leave the industry emotionally, the harsh operating conditions have forced many private companies to reconsider their long-term involvement. The presence of state-owned enterprises is a positive development for the entire industry. However, there is still a need to remain cautious about potential policy-driven suppression of private enterprises by SOEs.
According to the report "2013-2017 China Solar Photovoltaic Power Industry Investment Analysis and Forecast," the downstream segment will be a key growth area for the industry. PV companies have increased their investments in solar power plants, waiting for favorable grid connection and subsidy policies to take effect. Once implemented, these policies are expected to unlock significant economic benefits. Additionally, large state-owned enterprises that have not previously entered the PV market are also expected to ramp up their investments in solar power projects.
