Report summary
In the past, power shortages in China have seldom affected domestic nickel operations; yet a recent wave of forced power cuts in certain heavy industry-centred regions has changed this. The impact of the latest power crisis on Chinese industries – particularly affecting power-intensive businesses such as aluminium smelting, steel and cement-making – is extensive. The crunch was first felt in other industries in July before impacting the nickel market in the first half of September.
