Aluminum smelters in Henan province, China's top producer of the metal, face electricity supply cuts that could hit output at a time of high domestic prices if summer power demand continues to surge, industry sources said on Friday.
Power-hungry aluminum smelters in the central province have received notices from local governments to prepare for power cuts, Heng Kun, chief analyst at Essence Securities said.
Such a cut could reduce production by between 50,000 tonnes to 100,000 tonnes, based on the province's total aluminum smelting capacity of near 6 million tonnes a year, near a third of China's capacity, Heng estimated.
