Zhongrun's 500,000-mt Phase II Electrolytic Aluminum Project: Striving to commence construction within the year!

The Phase II project of Chalco China Resources Power is a core project in Xingxian County, Lvliang City, Shanxi Province, aimed at building a "10 million-mt, 100 billion-yuan aluminum-magnesium industrial cluster." It is planned to add 500,000 mt of electrolytic aluminum capacity, which, combined with Phase I, will form a total annual capacity of 1 million mt. The project is invested in and constructed by Shanxi Chalco China Resources Power Co., Ltd. (40% owned by Chalco, and 20% each by China Resources Power, Xishan Coal and Electricity Power, and Jinneng Electric Power). It adopts internationally advanced electrolysis technology and is planned to be supported by a 3×660MW captive power plant, aiming to achieve integrated "coal-electricity-aluminum" operations. As of July 2025, site leveling for the project has been completed, but construction has not yet commenced due to issues related to the replacement of electrolytic aluminum capacity indicators.

The project leverages the 160 million-mt bauxite resources already allocated in Lvliang and the advantages of the regional power grid. Upon completion, it will collaborate with the upstream Huaxing Alumina's 1.8 million-mt alumina capacity and drive downstream aluminum processing enterprises, building an "uninterrupted liquid aluminum" industry chain. The Lvliang Municipal Government's special working group is coord
