SHANGHAI, Sep 9 (SMM) - SMM data showed that the installed aluminium capacity in Yunnan Province stood at 5.61 million mt as of early September, while the operating capacity was 5.22 million mt, accounting for 12.8% of China’s total operating capacity. The province produced 442,000 mt of aluminium last month, a new record high and taking up 12.7% of China’s total.
Given the low water level at some reservoirs in Yunnan recently, the province may impose power rationing. Some local smelters said that the specific power rationing measures will be implemented after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
