In January, the company announced that the 2012 production was 890,217 tonnes, which is an increase of 8,907 tonnes on 2011 figures. CHINA: In January Chalco announced it purchased a 23.66% stake in Ningxia Electric Power Group in what the company considers to be a milestone in its cost-cutting efforts. Chalco completed the purchase from Huadian Power International Corp. at the end of 2012, becoming Ningxia Electric’s biggest shareholder. At present, Ningxia has a thermal power generation capacity of 3,874 MW, wind electricity capacity of 1,039 MW and photovoltaic power generation capacity of 103 MW. Ningxia Electric also has a coal reserve of 2.38bn tonnes and a production capacity of 16m tpy. In January the country’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and ten other ministries set out guidelines for the future structure of nine industries, including aluminium, rare earths and steel. According to the guidelines, China aims to have a few aluminium business conglomerates with core competitiveness and international influence by 2015, and have the top 10 smelters accounting for 90% of the country’s total production capacity. Other likely players in consolidating China’s aluminium industry are smelters in Henan province, where combined output of aluminium would be higher than Chalco’s. To meet the top 10 / 90% target, major smelters in Henan province may have to be merged into one, 22 <strong><strong>ALU</strong>MINIUM</strong> · 9/2013
