[SMM Aluminum Express News] Tsingshan Holding Group has reportedly asked some nickel pig iron (NPI) producers at Indonesia’s Weda Bay industrial park to cut output by June in order to redirect electricity supply toward aluminum production. The move highlights growing power constraints as Tsingshan expands into aluminum smelting in Indonesia, where stronger aluminum prices and Middle East-related supply disruptions have improved margins for the metal.
