LiPF6 production down month - on - month

》View SMM Nickel Prices, Data, and Market Analysis

In February 2025, LiPF6 production continued to fall. On the demand side, electrolyte demand declined due to the Spring Festival, and most electrolyte plants had restocked LiPF6 in January, so their demand weakened. On the supply side, manufacturers generally arrange production based on orders. With lithium carbonate prices falling, many are hesitant and reluctant to build up inventory. On the cost side, lithium carbonate prices have been declining, but lithium fluoride prices remained firm or even rose in December - January. Most LiPF6 manufacturers don't produce lithium fluoride themselves and rely on external procurement, so raw material costs haven't dropped significantly.

Baota Mountain Converter Station's AC System Energized, Marking Key Milestone in UHV Project

On February 5, the AC system of the Baota Mountain Converter Station, the sending - end station of the ±800 kV North Shaanxi - Anhui UHV DC power transmission project, was successfully energized for the first time. This marks that the AC system of the converter station has entered the startup commissioning stage, and the entire AC system of the project is expected to be put into operation before the Spring Festival. It is reported that the rated voltage of the North Shaanxi - Anhui UHV project is ±800 kV, with a rated capacity of 8 million kilowatts, and a dynamic investment of 20.5 billion yuan. The project starts from the Baota Mountain Converter Station in Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, and ends at the Hezhou Converter Station in Hefei City, Anhui Province. It passes through three provi

World's First Multi-Source DC Project in Jiangsu Completes Phase II, Boosts Cross-River Power Transmission

On February 12, the second - phase project of the ±200 kV DC power transmission project from Yangzhou to Zhenjiang in Jiangsu, which is the world's first multi - source commutated DC power transmission project and China's first AC - DC hybrid cross - river project, was completed and put into operation. The project's transmission line is about 228 kilometers long, with a transmission capacity of 1.2 million kilowatts. It passes through three cities (Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Zhenjiang) and seven counties. Among them, a 47 - kilometer new - built DC transmission line is erected on the same tower as the 500 kV AC line, and two new converter stations are built. Without adding a new cross - Yangtze - River power transmission channel, the original cross - river power transmission capacity has been
