Move likely to hit output of lithium, used in electric car batteries, from factories in Sichuan where temperatures sit above 40 degrees
Chinese lithium hub Sichuan province will ration electricity supply to factories until Saturday, state media reported, as a heatwave sends power demands soaring and dries up reservoirs.
But the local government has decided to prioritise residential power supply, ordering industrial users in 19 out of 21 cities in the province to suspend production until Saturday, according to a notice issued Sunday. Some companies will be permitted to operate at a limited capacity, depending on their production needs.
