Power sector rebounds in early trading, AI electricity consumption + energy anxiety opens up power demand! High-purity Power ETF (561560) sees active trading volume

Today’s early trading saw the power sector open lower and then rise throughout the session. With multiple positive factors resonating, the sector’s investment value may further emerge and continue to attract market attention.

From an industry demand perspective, the 2026 Government Work Report first included “computing and electricity collaboration.” Coupled with the accelerated overseas expansion of tokens, domestic electricity consumption continues to grow steadily, making electricity a core “hard currency” in the AI era. Meanwhile, geopolitical risks such as conflicts between the US and Iran are intensifying global energy anxiety. In an environment of high oil prices, electricity as an alternative energy source benefits significantly on the demand side. From a defensive standpoint, electricity assets, with their HALO asset characteristics, are expected to hedge against uncertainties from AI technological disruptions and geopolitical conflicts.

On the policy front, the 2026 “Notice on Improving Capacity Electricity Price Mechanisms” was issued, further clarifying capacity electricity pricing mechanisms for coal, gas, pumped storage, and independent energy storage on the grid side. Against the backdrop of ongoing disruptions from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Middle Eastern tensions affecting energy supply, the deepening of electricity market reforms is driving energy prices upward, transmitting higher electricity prices and raising the central price level. This is expected to enhance the profitability of electricity assets.

Capital flows confirm the rising popularity of the sector. Data shows that the electricity ETF (561560) has grown to a scale of 2.774 billion yuan and 19.94 million units, with year-to-date increases of over 289% and 239%, respectively. Since last week, it has attracted a total of 1.377 billion yuan in funds, making it the only ETF in the entire market with net inflows exceeding 1.3 billion yuan in the power sector. Last week’s average daily trading volume significantly increased to 431 million yuan, up 217% week-over-week, indicating active trading.
