(002580.SZ)**, **China Power (600482.SH)**, **Guoxuan High-Tech (002074.SZ)**, **Oujing Technology (001269.SZ)**, **Deye Co., Ltd. (605117.SH)**, **Shida Shenghua (603026.SH)**, **Haopeng Technology (001283.SZ)**, and **Zhongheng Electric (002364.SZ)** also reaching their daily limits. In terms of news, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) stated in its "Short-Term Energy Outlook" on Tuesday (April 7th) that U.S. electricity consumption is expected to reach a new high for the second consecutive year in 2025, with further increases anticipated in 2026 and 2027. The EIA predicts that U.S. electricity demand will rise from a record 4,195 billion kilowatt-hours in 2025 to 4,244 billion kilowatt-hours in 2026 and 4,381 billion kilowatt-hours in 2027. This is mainly due to the increase in artificial intelligence data centers, as well as more electricity usage in homes and businesses, reducing the use of fossil fuels for heating and transportation. CITIC Construction Investment Securities research report points out that China's power equipment exports are entering a golden development period. Customs data for January-February 2026 shows that China's transformer export growth rate remains above 40%, continuing a high growth trend, confirming strong overseas demand. In terms of market segments, the demand for transformers in the U.S. and European markets is globally leading, with sustained high demand and tight supply and demand. Chinese companies are maintaining high growth in North America, which is expected to continue to enhance market penetration. With the U.S. and Europe siphoning global production capacity, Chinese companies are experiencing significant volume in the Middle East, with China's exports of power transformers to Saudi Arabia exceeding 6 billion yuan by 2025. The report predicts that demand in the U.S. and European markets will remain strong; with increasing demand in non-U.S. markets like the Middle East and the siphoning of global production capacity by the U.S. and Europe, Chinese companies will have significant opportunities. Leading export companies continue to realize their fundamentals, and strong expectations are continuously being reflected in reality. Great Wall Securities states that the supply restrictions of overseas power grid equipment provide opportunities for Chinese related companies to expand abroad: the delivery cycle for transformers in the U.S. has extended from 50 weeks to over 120 weeks. Chinese companies related to power grid equipment have relative advantages in delivery time, technology, and cost, and export orders for transformers and other equipment are expected to continue to benefit ### Related Stocks - [159611.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159611.CN.md) - [560390.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/560390.CN.md) - [XLU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XLU.US.md) - [159326.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159326.CN.md) - [POWR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/POWR.US.md) - [GRID.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GRID.US.md) - [JXI.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JXI.US.md) - [561700.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/561700.CN.md) - [562550.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/562550.CN.md) ## Related News & Research - [Clearway Energy Doubles Down on Growth Targets](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287005343.md) - [BREAKINGVIEWS-Electricity mega-deal strains balance of AI power](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286801856.md) - [Higher PJM Supply Costs Expected to Increase ComEd Customer Bills This Summer | EXC Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286441451.md) - [Cambridge Investment Research Advisors Inc.
