Reducing the efficiency of electrolytic aluminum

 [China aluminum net] cut coal fired power generation tariff 2 cents / kWh, down industrial electricity price 1.8 cents / kwh. Li Keqiang, premier of the State Council on April 8, chaired a State Council executive meeting, decided to nationwide clean-up standardize charges related enterprises, down coal-fired electricity price and industrial and commercial electricity prices, specific cuts: one is according to the coal price linkage mechanism, down the coal-fired power tariff average per kilowatt hour (KWH) of about 2 cents. Second, the implementation of commercial and industrial electricity price, national industry and commerce with electricity prices average per kilowatt down about 1.8 cents, reduce enterprise burden of charge of electricity.
Aluminum industry in the non-ferrous metals industry is the most benefit, direct purchase electricity, the proportion of low power to bring the benefits of the most obvious, but the future increase in the proportion of direct power purchase is still industry trends. The power generation and sale of electricity prices at the same time to adjust, but only the sale of electricity prices down to help non-ferrous metals companies to reduce production costs. Currently in the industry, the sale of electricity prices down the most sensitive is the electrolytic aluminum industry, electricity costs accounted for about 40% of its total production costs, other industries, electrolytic zinc and electrolytic lead will also be affected, but the sensitivity is not high, the aluminum industry. It is worth mentioning that the adjustment is only related to the price adjustment of the network, direct purchase electricity (a house of a discussion) and the higher the ratio of electricity companies to obtain a higher profit but less. However, Premier Li Keqiang also stressed that the high energy consuming industries to take different tariffs, increase the implementation of punitive tariffs, so the future can be expected to expand the proportion of high energy consuming industries is still a trend.
