China Windpower (182 HK)
China / Environmental & Clean Energy
Shifting from EPC to wind/solar farms
15 October 2014
We believe China Windpower (CWP)’s core EPC business will continue
to benefit from the aggressive expansion of wind/solar power plants
in China backed by favorable renewable energy policies. With rapidly
rising proportions of revenue from wind/solar power generation
going forward, we believe CWP could be re-rated to have a PE
valuation similar to peers. Our target price of HK$0.9 is based on
11.5x 15PE, which is a 10% discount to the average 15PE of its peers
group (12.8x 15PE). We initiate coverage on CWP with a BUY rating.

Performance
Huadian Fuxin agreed to bring in 3.5GW of wind power EPC projects to the
company during 2014-16. We believe CWP could complete around
550MW/700MW/700MW of EPC projects in FY14/FY15/FY16, with most of the
projects coming from Huadian Fuxin. In addition, cash flow generated annually
from the EPC segment, together with the HK$378mn proceeds from the new share
issuance to Huadian Fuxin, are expected to be able to support CWP to expand the
attributable capacity of its wind and solar power farms in the coming future.
Rapid growth in solar power generation
At the end of 1H14, CWP had an attributable capacity of 154MW in solar power.
The company targets to increase the capacity to around 500MW by the end of this
year. With its expertise in the wind power sector and over 7.5GW of exclusive solar
reserves in the pipeline, we believe the company can ramp up its solar power
business. We forecast CWP would add around 300MW of solar power capacity
annually in FY15 and FY16, lifting the total attributable capacity for solar power to
around 1.1GW by the end of FY16. We expect this could generate a revenue CAGR
of 130% for FY14-16 and account for 20% of total revenue by FY16.
Steadily growing wind power business
With over 9 years of development and operational experience in the wind sector,
we believe the company can continue to expand steadily its wind power business
in the long term. As of 1H14, CWP had over 28GW of exclusive wind reserves in
the pipeline. We forecast CWP would add around 150MW of wind power capacity
annually from FY14-16, lifting the total wind power attributable capacity to around
1GW by the end of FY16. We expect this could generate a revenue CAGR of 28%
for FY14-16 and account for 10% of total revenue (including JV/associates) by FY16.
Plenty of investment opportunities in distributed PV projects
Out of the 3.3GW of solar power installed in China in 1H14, around 1GW were
distributed PV projects. We believe 2H14 could see a boom in new installations
and expect 5-6GW of distributed PV projects to be added in China. CWP should be
a beneficiary from more EPC and/or investment opportunities.

Wind/Solar farm operators – Long term positive
Non-fossil fuel energy demand will continue to rise
Electricity generated from
non-fossil fuels accounted
for 9.8% of China’s energy
in 2013, which should
increase to 15% by 2020
To cut carbon dioxide emissions, China is in the process of switching to non-fossil energy sources
for power. In 2013, non-fossil fuels generated around 9.8% of China’s energy, up from 9.1% in
2012. According to the National Energy Administration (NEA), the percentage should rise to 10.7%
by the end of this year, and 11.4% by end of 2015. Long term, it is expected that the non-fossil
fuels generation percentage would further rise to 15% by 2020 and 24.5% by 2035, at the expense
of reduction in coal power output.
To achieve these goals, NEA is aiming to raise the installed capacity of non-fossil fuel to a third of
total installed capacity this year, compared to close to 30% in 2013. We believe the strong
commitment to invest in clean energy by the government will continue to benefit wind and solar
farm operators in the long term.
Wind outlook: Steadily growing
2013-2017 wind capacity
CAGR: 17%
We expect the annual wind capacity addition would be around 17GW in the next few years,
translating into around 17% CAGR from 2013 to 2017. From 2011 to present, NEA has already
approved 109GW of new wind power projects. We believe more approved projects would be
announced in the future.

Solar outlook: Explosive growth ahead
2013-2017 solar capacity
CAGR: 38%
Solar power operators are rapidly expanding their capacity. As the end of 2012, China had around
6.5GW of solar capacity connected to the grid. Last year, around 12.9GW of new solar capacity was
added to the grid, resulting in a cumulative solar capacity of 19.4GW installed and connected in
China as of end of 2013. In 1H14, around 3.3GW of new solar capacity was added. The market
expects that 13GW could be added in full year 2014, meaning that 10GW could be added in 2H14
with 4Q14 would be the peak installation season.
Long term, NDRC has stated its intent to reach the 70GW installation target of solar capacity by
2017, translating into a 38% CAGR of solar capacity growth from 2013-2017.

Strategic cooperation with Huadian Fuxin
Positive to CWP
CWP will provide EPC
services up to 3.5GW of
wind power projects to
Huadian Fuxin
CWP issued 880mn of new shares to Huadian Fuxin (816.HK, Non rated) at HK$0.43/share, and the
deal was completed on 19 March 2014. With a 9.84% stake, Huadian Fuxin is now the third-largest
shareholder of the company following the founders (24.0%) and Mr. Johnson Ko (22.5%).
In addition, CWP and Huadian Fuxin reached a business cooperation agreement on 28 December
2013. Under the agreement, CWP will provide EPC and maintenance services for 3.5GW of wind
power projects to Huadian Fuxin (the company expects it can provide at least 850MW of wind
power projects this year). Huadian Fuxin, in return, will provide project financing for CWP. In
addition, CWP is allowed to develop its wind power projects or with other third parties only if
Huadian Fuxin forfeits its right to acquire or develop these wind power projects. Moreover, CWP
has the priority right to provide EPC and maintenance services for the wind power projects
developed by Huadian Fuxin at the prevailing market price.
We believe this cooperation agreement is highly positive to CWP, as cash generated from the EPC
services for Huadian Fuxin could help the company to develop more solar or wind farms,
increasing its recurring profit in the long term. Given that Huadian Group, the parent of Huadian
Fuxin, is one of the five largest state-owned power generation enterprises in China, we believe
CWP would be able to benefit from this strategic cooperation and could potentially gain more
clean energy projects going forward.

During 1H14, CWP signed 1,370MW of solar power exclusive development right agreements. As of
end of June 2014, the company had over 7.5GW of exclusive solar reserves in the pipeline. We
believe the company can leverage its expertise in the wind power sector to ramp up its solar
power business. We believe CWP would add around 300MW of solar power capacity annually in
FY15 and FY16, lifting the total attributable capacity for solar power to around 1.1GW by the end
of FY16.
Management believes that the equity IRR for a typical solar power plant could reach around 19%,
higher than the 12% for wind power plant. Short to mid-term, the company’s strategy is to
prioritize solar power development and investment growing this segment into one of the CWP’s
core businesses.

Steadily growing wind power business
Expect attributable capacity
for wind power to increase
to 700MW by end of this
year
While CWP is rapidly growing its solar power business, it aims to avoid concentrating in any one
particular area. Thus, the company is also expanding its wind power project pipeline. At the end of
1H14, CWP had an attributable capacity of 550MW in wind power. The company targets to
increase the capacity to around 700MW by the end of this year. During 1H14, CWP signed 950MW
of wind power exclusive development right agreements, and as of end of June 2014, the company
had over 28GW of exclusive wind reserves in the pipeline. With over 9 years of development and
operational experience in the wind sector, we believe the company can continue to expand
steadily its wind power business in the long term. We believe CWP would add around 150MW of
wind power capacity annually in FY15 and FY16, lifting the total attributable capacity for wind
power to around 1GW by the end of FY16.

Wind/Solar farms investments funded by cash flows from its solid EPC business
Expects 550-600MW of EPC
contracts to be completed in
FY14
The EPC segment of CWP mainly undertakes wind power and solar power EPC projects within
China (and insignificant amount in Ghana). For a typical all-inclusive EPC wind power project, the
construction revenue is around Rmb7.5-8.0/watt, while for a typical EPC solar power project, the
construction revenue is around Rmb8.0-8.5/watt. During 1H14, revenue from EPC was up 215%
YoY to HK$1.02bn, with 16 EPC projects were constructed (+46% YoY), and 69 design &
consultancy reports were provided (-1.4% YoY) during the period. Some of the projects CWP
undertook include projects from China Power Investment Group, Huaneng New Energy Co.,
Huadian Fuxin, Shenzhen Energy Group Company, etc.

EPC is still the largest portion of CWP’s revenue (1H14: 85%). With rising contributions from
investments in wind/solar power plants in the next few years, we expect to see percentage of
revenue from EPC to decline from 87% in FY13 to 75% in FY16. We believe that, based on the
current environment, CWP could enjoy around 7-8% net margin for its EPC segment.

Huadian Fuxin, as the third largest shareholder of the company with a 9.84% stake, agreed to bring
in 3.5GW of wind power EPC projects to the company during 2014-16. 827MW of EPC projects has
already started construction, of which 443MW of projects (located in North China) should be
completed by the end of this year. In addition, EPC projects in cooperation with other partners
such as Huaneng and CPI etc. should contribute around 100-150MW of project as well in FY14. We
therefore believe CWP could complete around 550-600MW of EPC projects this year. We further
assume the company can complete around 700MW of EPC projects annually in the next two years
with most of the projects coming from Huadian Fuxin.
Backed by cash flow generated annually from the EPC segment, together with the HK$378mn
proceeds from the new share issuance to Huadian Fuxin, we expect CWP would be able to expand
the attributable capacity of its wind and solar power farms in the coming future.

Further upside from moving into distributed PV projects
Distributed generation refers to electricity generated at or near the point where it is used. We
highlight the main differences between distributed PV and traditional utility-scale projects below:
Figure 20 Comparison between Distributed PV and utility scale projects
Locations

Investment
costs
Operation
Tariffs

Distributed PV projects
near or at the point of usage such as cities/towns, can leverage
existing assets to lower start-up costs
Low voltage connection and short term tranmission, much less power
loss
Independence from utility grid, low or no curtailment
Low lump sum costs initially. Around Rmb9-12/watt
Low maintainence / no need of professional knowledge to maintain
Rmb0.9-1.0/kWh FiT (if choose to sell all the generated power to the
grid)
Standard subsidy is Rmb0.42/kWh. Individual provinces/cities could
have extra subsidies, such as Shandong suggest extra Rmb0.05/kWh,
Guangzhou city suggest extra Rmb0.1/watt
Utility scale projects
Remote areas, hill tops, far from cities/towns
Need to connect to UHV for long distance transmission and
could suffer power loss
Could suffer from grid curtailment on peak generating
periods
High lump sum costs with much larger scale. Around Rmb 89/watt
Need to team of profesionals to maintain on day to day basis
Rmb0.9-1.0/kWh FiT
Individual provinces might provide subsidies
Source: NEA, Guosen Securities(HK) Research
CWP could benefit from
more EPC or investment
opportunities in distributed
PV projects amid related
favorable policy that was
announced on Sept 2014.
On Sept 2014, NEA announced the latest policy regarding distributed PV projects. Some of the key
areas are highlighted below:
Able to choose different modes: Developers can choose to sell all the power to the grid at FiT
which is equivalent to utility scale projects (Rmb0.9-1.0/kWh), or stick to the original mode, which
is self-use and sell remaining power to the grid (which enjoys Rmb0.42/kW of subsidy, with extra
subsidies possible in certain provinces/cities). Developers can also choose to switch from “self-use
mode” to “sell all power mode” if self-use power declines substantially.
Broaden definition of distributed PV: Solar projects in greenhouses, wasteland, lakes etc that are
under 20MW in scale can also be qualified as distributed PV.
Encourage government participation: Local governments are recommended to promote
distributed PV projects through looking for suitable rooftop resources and coordinating
infrastructure investments. Local governments are also encouraged to provide extra subsidies if
possible.
External support: Grid companies are required to be accommodative ensuring smooth
connections to the grid and providing upgrades if needed. In addition, banks and other financial
institutions are encouraged to provide low cost financing for developers and investors.
We believe investments in distributed PV would be getting more attention from going forward, as
government policies are getting more favorable to developers and investors. Investors still need
to consider issues such as the load capacity of the rooftop of the properties, potential leakage
problems and security issues, but we believe returns for distributed PV projects (IRR generally
around 10-15%) are attractive enough to lure investments in this segment.
Out of the 3.3GW of solar power installed in China in 1H14, around 1GW were distributed PV
projects. We believe 2H14 could see a boom in new installations and expect 5-6GW of distributed
PV projects could be added during the period.
Currently, CWP has an oversea distributed PV project under construction in United States with
11.1MW in capacity. The company also reached an agreement with Shanghai Municipal
Commission of Economy and Information Commission on March 2014 to invest, develop and
operate 500MW of distributed solar and LED lighting in Shanghai and the surrounding areas for
properties not limited to government office buildings, infrastructures, industrial workshops, roofs
of large shopping centers, exhibition centers, etc. We believe with the latest policy regarding
distributed PV projects recently announced, CWP could benefit from more EPC or investment
opportunities in the distributed PV segment in the future.

Investment risks
Potential tariff cuts
Market is expecting wind power FiT could be cut by the end of this year or early next year.
However, we believe this would only affect new built wind farms and the tariff cut probably would
not be very significant. In addition, wind power only forms part of the company’s revenue. We
expect solar power tariff would remain stable for a long period of time, since the latest FiT revision
(range from Rmb0.9-1.0/kWh) was just revised recently in August 2013, It is expected the
execution period would be as long as 20 years.
Slowdown in capacity addition from Huadian Fuxin
If Huadian Fuxin, the strategic partner and shareholder of CWP, decides to slow down its capacity
addition in the coming years, it would negatively affect CWP’s EPC revenue, as a majority of its EPC
revenue would be coming from Huadian Fuxin.
Delays in CWP’s wind or solar projects
We expect CWP to add 300MW/150MW of solar/wind power capacity each year in FY15 and FY16.
Delays due to any reasons might result in less than expected earnings in these years.
Wind resources continue to be weak
Wind speed was low in the first nine months this year, leading to weak share prices YTD for the
whole wind power sector. Since wind speed is unpredictable, any further decline in wind
resources could result in de-rating of the wind sector, which would also affect the valuation of
CWP.
Potential selling of shares from Vice Chairman Mr. Johnson Ko
Vice Chairman Mr. Johnson Ko is currently holding 22.5% stake of CWP. Any reduction in his stake
in the company could be an overhang to share price.
Potential equity raising
Annual capex is around HKD4bn from FY14 to FY16 to accommodate the capacity expansion plan
for both wind and solar power projects. Net gearing would increase from 10% in FY13 to 67% in
FY14 and 117% in FY15. Equity raising is possible in the future.

Revenue from EPC segment would still be the major contributor of total revenue in FY14-16,
although the proportion is expected to decline from 89.4% in FY14 to 74.7% in FY16, as more solar
power projects would commence operation in the next few years. Wind power would also have
rising contribution to the bottom line via profits from JV/associates as most of their wind projects

in the pipeline have less than 50% stake and would not be consolidated into CWP’s reported
revenue.
We forecast total revenue to grow 205.6% in 2014 to HK$5,753mn, 29.6% in 2015 to HK$7,453mn,
and 7.8% in 2016 to HK$8,035mn. The growth is due to 1) rapid growth in the EPC segment in
FY14-15, and 2) contribution from new solar plants in FY14-16
EBIT margin forecast
In FY13, EBIT margin declined by 1.6 percentage points to 16.4%, as EPC segment, with lower
margin, contributed more to the total revenue. We estimate CWP’s EBIT margin will bottom in
FY14 at 11.1% as EPC sales to total revenue peak in FY14, and would gradually expand to 15.2%
and 18.0% in FY15 and FY16 respectively, on the back of higher margins from the growing
wind/solar power generation segment.

We believe CDEP’s capex would be HK$3,750mn, HK$4,050mn and HK$4,050mn in FY14, FY15 and
FY16 respectively, as the company is aggressively adding more wind and solar capacity in the
coming years. We forecast that finance expenses for the company will increase 60.7% to
HK$166mn in FY14, 120.1% to HK$366mn in FY15 and 48.3% to HK$543mn in FY16, on rising loans
to fund new capital expenditure each year.

On the back of strong revenue growth and higher contributions from JV/associates (wind power
generations), we estimate net profit will grow 193.9% in FY14 to HK$444mn, 56.9% in FY15 to
HK$697mn and 16.6% in FY16 to HK$812mn. Accordingly, net margin will expand from 7.7% in
FY14 to 9.3% and 10.1% in FY15 and FY16 respectively.

Valuation
Initiate coverage with BUY rating & target price of $0.9
CWP is currently trading at 7.7x 15PE, around 40% discount compared to Hong Kong listed
wind/solar farm operators peers. We believe CWP’s core EPC business will continue to benefit
from the aggressive expansion of wind/solar power plants in China backed by favorable renewable
energy policies. With rapidly rising proportions of revenue from wind/solar power generation
going forward, we believe CWP could be re-rated to have a PE valuation similar to peers. Our
target price of HK$0.9 is based on 11.5x 15PE, which is a 10% discount to the average 15PE of its
peers group (12.8x 15PE) due to CWP’s smaller market cap and higher proportion of EPC revenue
compare to peers. We initiate coverage on CWP with a BUY rating.
