Under the mechanism, power plant sells power to power grid company at 0.15 yuan/kwh when aluminum prices in Shanghai spot market are 11,500 yuan/tonne. Power grid company charges aluminum smelter 0.1 yuan/kwh fees. That is to say, aluminum smelter needs to pay 0.25 yuan/kwh power tariffs. Power prices sold by power plant, fees charged by power grid company and power tariffs paid by aluminum smelter will be hiked by a certain percentage when aluminum prices rise.
