Urgent! Sudden power outage in a major chemical province! Discontinuation notice!

ECHEMI 2021-09-22

Recently, the “red light” of dual energy consumption control has been lit in many places in China. In less than four months before the year-end “big test”, the areas “named” by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology have taken measures to improve energy consumption as soon as possible. Major chemical provinces such as Jiangsu, Guangdong, and Zhejiang are even more aggressive, taking measures such as suspension of production and power outages on thousands of companies, making local companies caught off guard.

 


Zhejiang: a power outage notice issued by a major textile town, covering 161 companies

 

People familiar with the matter said that Shaoxing Keqiao issued a power outage notice, “According to the spirit of the emergency meeting of the province on September 20 and the spirit of instructions from the main leaders of the provincial government, the province is required to immediately reduce the power consumption of key energy-consuming enterprises. All localities. Under the premise of ensuring safety, high-energy-consuming key energy-consuming enterprises must suspend production until the end of the month. The high-energy-consuming key energy-consuming enterprises that have not shut down before 11 o'clock on September 21 will be taken by the power department. A total of 161 enterprises in our district will be involved. , All enterprises in the printing and dyeing and chemical fiber industries. All towns (streets) are requested to notify the enterprises to implement the requirements. Ma'an Street will immediately reduce the heating load through the thermal power enterprises, and arrange the heating enterprises to stop production in an orderly manner in order to reduce the heating load."


The printing and dyeing capacity of Keqiao District, Shaoxing, Zhejiang accounts for more than half of that of Zhejiang Province and one-third of that of the country. Every move here will play a vital role in the entire printing and dyeing industry in China, and it can be said to affect the whole body.

 

An environmentally friendly thermal power company in Zhejiang issued a notice saying that the current coal price for thermal power plants has risen to about 1,450 CNY/ton, and there is no market, and the supply of goods cannot be guaranteed. The long-term inventory of coal (2-4 days) seriously threatens heating production The continuity and stability of the company, although the company does everything possible to find sources of goods from all over the country at any cost, it is still full of difficulties and cannot guarantee an effective increase in inventory.

 


A thermal power company in Shaoxing said that the market coal tensions will continue. The current coal inventory of the company has broken the historical low for seven days, which has put tremendous pressure on normal production and operation. The existing inventory is no longer sufficient for normal and stable production. Please all users to reduce the burden. , Production preparation for stopping steam.

 

Jiangsu: Printing and Dyeing Concentration District issued a production suspension notice, over 1,000 companies "opened two and stopped two"


An enterprise in Jiangsu revealed that it had received the "September 19, 2021 Energy Consumption Double Reduction Control Plan", which requires the enterprise to limit production according to different levels. Category A shall not consume more electricity than the same period last year; Category B shall be reduced by 10%; all 1096 Category C enterprises shall restrict production in accordance with the measures of “opening two and stopping two”. They are divided into two batches with rotation production; 143 category D plots The production of all 28 printing and dyeing enterprises shall be suspended; all 28 printing and dyeing enterprises shall restrict production in accordance with the measures of “opening two and stopping two”. They are divided into two batches and production is rotated. (The measures of "open two and stop two" will be implemented from 17:00 on September 19, 2021, and will be divided into two batches.)

 

An enterprise in the Wujiang area of Suzhou revealed that the local printing and dyeing company was scheduled to stop production in September, from September 19 to October 1, divided into four groups, involving dozens of companies.

 

A textile printing and dyeing company in Nantong issued a holiday notice, combined with the requirements of relevant departments to resolutely curb the blind development of high energy-consuming and high-polluting projects, to orderly regulate the energy consumption of steel wire rope, printing and dyeing and other industries, and decided to have a holiday from September 22 to October 8. 17 days.

 


Guangdong Province: Start two stops five, only keep 15% of the total load

 

According to the results of dual control of energy consumption in the first half of the first half of the Guangdong Provincial Development and Reform Commission, Qingyuan, the main production area for building ceramics, was listed as a first-level warning. Including ceramics, high-energy-consuming enterprises such as chemical and non-ferrous metals have all been listed as key energy-consuming doubles. In the control plan. Guangdong Power Grid stated that it will implement the “on-two-stop-five” power consumption plan from September 16 and implement peak shifts on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Only the security power load will be reserved during peak shift days. Below 15% of the total load.

 

Some regions have notified that the production and use of electricity should be stopped during shifts, and electricity for life, dormitories, dining halls, lighting, security, heat preservation, emergency, etc. should be retained (not more than 20% of the capacity). For customers who do not consciously participate in the overall peak shift, mandatory power outages and additional power outages for 48 hours will be taken as required. 


Suspension of production and production restrictions have brought tightening on the supply side, and the severe situation will continue!

 

In addition to the above-mentioned Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, many regions have also imposed restrictions on the production and operation of high-energy-consuming industries and enterprises based on local conditions.

 

Yunnan: The average monthly output of industrial silicon companies from September to December is not higher than 10% of the output in August (ie a 90% reduction in output); the average monthly output of the yellow phosphorus production line from September to December shall not exceed 10% of the output in August 2021 ( That is to reduce production by 90%).

 

Inner Mongolia: From 2021, Inner Mongolia will no longer approve coke (blue charcoal), calcium carbide, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), synthetic ammonia (urea), methanol, ethylene glycol, caustic soda, soda ash, ammonium phosphate, yellow phosphorus... no downstream Converted polysilicon, monocrystalline silicon and other new capacity projects.

 

Shaanxi: It is required that from September to December, the newly built "two highs" projects shall not be put into production. The new "two highs" projects that have been put into production this year will have a maximum output of 60% of the previous month's production base. Other "two highs" enterprises will reduce the operating load of their production lines. , Suspension of submerged arc furnaces to limit production and other measures to ensure a 50% reduction in production in September.


...
Although there have been restrictions on power consumption during peak power consumption in previous years, the situation of "opening two and stopping five", "limiting 90% of production", and "stopping production of thousands of enterprises" is unprecedented. If the electricity is long-term, the production capacity will definitely not keep up with the demand, and the order can only be further reduced, making the demand side supply more tight. For the chemical industry with high energy consumption, the traditional peak season of "Golden Nine and Silver Ten" is already in short supply. The superimposed double control of energy consumption will lead to a reduction in the supply of high energy consumption chemicals, as well as the continuous increase in raw material coal and natural gas prices. , It is expected that the overall chemical product prices in the fourth quarter will continue to rise and hit high points. Enterprises will also face the dual pressure of price increases and shortages, and the severe situation will continue!
