In mid-September, more than 100 ceramic production lines in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan suddenly stopped production. (☚Click on the blue font to read details) Among them, the Guangxi production area suffered from power cuts throughout the region, causing local ceramic factories to be forced to temporarily suspend production.
Recently, good news came that Guangxi Simone Lisa has resumed production on 5 of the 7 production lines, and Guangxi Oceano has also resumed 4 previously suspended production lines.
Guangxi Ceramics Factory has resumed production, but the power rationing in Guangdong has further intensified. In addition to the "on, two, and five" power rationing measures, there are also "on, one, and six" power rationing measures.
Guangzhou Simone Lisa and Oceano resume production
Release daily production capacity of approximately 225,000 square meters
On September 22, Mona Lisa issued the "Announcement on the Resumption of Production of Some Production Lines of its Holding Subsidiaries", pointing out that its subsidiary Guangxi Mona Lisa's production has gradually resumed "with the orderly dispatch of power in Guangxi."
In the announcement, Mona Lisa revealed that the specific resumption time of the Guangxi production base is September 21, 2021, by "implementing 5 production lines and stopping 2 production lines" to carry out peak-staggered production.
In other words, five production lines of Guangzhou Simone Lisa have resumed production, releasing a total daily production capacity of approximately 125,000 square meters. The remaining two production lines will be restored based on local power improvement and dispatch conditions.
On September 22, Oceano also issued the "Announcement on the Resumption of Production of the Controlled Sun Company", stating that "As of 11:00 on September 22, 2021, the four production lines of Guangxi Oceano that were temporarily suspended in the early stage have been All back up and running". According to the previous announcement, the total annual production capacity of these four production lines is about 30 million square meters. After the resumption of production, the total daily production capacity released by Guangxi Oceano is about 100,000 square meters.
According to insiders of Guangxi Oceano, Guangxi Oceano’s production capacity mainly supplies engineering channels. In mid-September, it had a backlog of engineering orders due to power rationing and production shutdowns. Many of these orders had to be supplied long ago. Now, All have become "urgent orders." After production resumed this time, although the schedule of these engineering orders was very full, they were finally able to be supplied, which solved the urgent need.
In addition, "Ceramic Information" also learned that some upstream manufacturers of ceramic raw materials in Guangxi production areas have also resumed production in an orderly manner, but the production equipment has not been fully opened."Half" way of resuming production.
Although there has been good news recently about the resumption of production at the Tengxian production base in Guangxi, represented by listed companies Mona Lisa and Oceano, many people in the industry still expressed concerns because this year’s power cuts are nationwide. Although the resumption of production in Guangxi production areas is gratifying, the future is still full of uncertainties.
The situation of power rationing is still severe
"Open one, stop six" has appeared in Guangdong
In the Guangdong production area, power restrictions continue to escalate.
Starting from September 7, 7 ceramic factories in Qingyuan, Guangdong, with a total of 23 production lines, have been required to suspend production due to power cuts and other factors; since September 15, due to upgraded power cuts in Foshan and Zhaoqing, Guangdong, some ceramic factories have been shut down. It is required to "open three times and stop four", and some directly stop production for half a month...
Recently, some companies in Dongguan City, Foshan City, and Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province have received notices from the Power Supply Bureau, stating that they will implement "stopping industrial electricity for the entire period" and "open for two, stop for five" or even "on for one, stop for six" power curtailment measures.
Among them, some companies in Dongguan received electricity notifications that "please shut down power consumption for industrial production loads at all times from September 22 to 26, 2021."
In this regard, a manufacturing company in Dongguan said that after experiencing multiple tests such as raw material price increases, purchase restrictions, and power rationing this year, "the mood cannot be expressed in words."
In Dali, Foshan, some companies received a notice stating that "from September 16, a five-level orderly power consumption plan of 'on, two, and five' off every week will be implemented." Companies should consciously abide by staggered peak power consumption. regulations, otherwise they will face forced power outages with a "10-day seizure period".
Foshan Lunjiao is also implementing a power rationing plan of "open for two days and stop for five days", and its notice points out that "on off-peak days, people must take turns to take off directly, and production and office work cannot be done. If there is a special load of electricity, you must prepare your own power supply. , otherwise the start-stop six-peak peak level will be implemented.”
In response to the above-mentioned power rationing measures of "open for two days and stop for five days", some companies said that their production has been greatly affected, because "according to this calculation, the manufacturing industry can only work eight days a month" and there is nothing that customers can do to rush for goods.
If the "open two days off and five days off" means working an eight-day shift, then the "open one day off six days off" means working a four-day shift only. Recently, the electricity usage notice received by some enterprises in Daliang, Foshan stated: "During the period from September 22 to September 27, your unit is requested to use the electricity on the morning of September 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27. From 8:30 to 23:00 in the evening, we will strictly implement the work requirements of the city government's orderly power consumption plan," which means that the next week will implement a power restriction plan of "on and off for six days."
Some enterprises in Zhongshan City have also received a power consumption notice of "on one day, six days off". The specific arrangements are as follows: "on one day, six days off" for users under the regulation, and "one day on, two days off, five days off" for enterprises above the regulation.
In addition, some streets in Qingyuan City, Zhongshan City and Shunde District of Foshan City have also recently issued "Notices on Orderly Use of Electricity and Conservation of Electricity", fully demonstrating the seriousness of the electricity consumption situation.
Among them, the "Notice to the City's Electric Power Users on Orderly Use of Electricity and Conservation of Electricity" issued by the Qingyuan Municipal Development and Reform Bureau and the Qingyuan Power Supply Bureau of the Guangdong Power Grid Company on September 22 shows that the city's industrial users must strictly implement the "2021 The "Orderly Electricity Use Plan (Revised) in Qingyuan Area" (Qingfa Gai [2021] No. 132) requires that after receiving the notice of orderly electricity use from the power supply department, production arrangements should be adjusted in a timely manner during the peak hours of electricity consumption (8:00-23 :00 hours) stop production and use of electricity. For enterprises that do not implement the orderly power consumption plan and use grid power for production without authorization on off-peak days, once verified, the power-consuming enterprise will be subject to mandatory power rationing for three consecutive days in accordance with regulations; for enterprises that do not implement emergency peak avoidance as required Electricity users should immediately implement a short-term power outage on the spot. If an enterprise closes the power grid without authorization and uses power from the grid, it will be regarded as illegal use of electricity and will be strictly dealt with according to electricity regulations.
