SMM survey: Power Supply Bottleneck Prevents Aluminum Capacity in Sichuan from Fully Recovering 

SHANGHAI, Feb 24 (SMM) - According to SMM data, the installed aluminum capacity in Sichuan stands at 1.2 million mt, and the operating capacity was 1 million mt prior to the power rationing in July-August. So far, the operating capacity has recovered to 800,000 mt, while the rest depends on when the power supply will be fully restored. Sichuan Guangyuan Zhongfu and Sichuan Aostar Aluminum plan to put their new projects, which have an annual capacity of 70,000 mt and 130,000 mt respectively, into operation after the power supply situation improves.
