REUTERS/Stringer/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Another month, another new record for China's primary aluminium production sector.
Power availability is proving to be as effective a cap on China's aluminium production as any government mandate.
Some of that production capacity has only just been powered up after a previous round of restrictions was lifted in June.
And an increasingly significant one as ever more Chinese aluminium capacity migrates from north to south to lower the carbon footprint.
Rainfall in Yunnan is now the key determinant of China's primary aluminium production capacity.
