In order to speed up development of coal-electricity-aluminum industry, the government of Yunnan decided to cut power tariffs for Yunnan Aluminum Co.

SHANGHAI, Jun. 7 (SMM) - In order to speed up development of coal-electricity-aluminum industry, the government of Yunnan decided to cut power tariffs for Yunnan Aluminum Co.

The preferential power tariffs are set at 0.2785 yuan/kwh, effective from June 1, 2016 till May 31, 2017. The move will save the company’s aluminum costs by 940 yuan/tonne, SMM estimates.

Yunnan Aluminum Co., whose full cost is estimated at less than 11,000 yuan/tonne, has restarted 50,000-tpy aluminum capacity idled at the end of last year, and plans to bring the rest 150,000-tpy capacity back online, due to rally of aluminum prices compared with late last year and recent power tariff cuts.

【SMM Flash News】 Indonesia’s ESDM to Revise Nickel HPM Formula in April to Reflect Market Premiums

Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) is finalizing a review of the Nickel Mineral Benchmark Price (HPM) formula, aiming for implementation within April 2026. Director General of Minerals and Coal, Tri Winarno, stated that the current HPM no longer reflects actual transaction values, as it fails to account for the "market premiums" currently paid by smelters. The upcoming revision intends to incorporate these premiums as variables in royalty calculations, ensuring that state revenue accurately captures the full value of nickel sales and shifting the HPM from a mere "floor price" to a more representative market benchmark.
