The maximum electricity price increased by 25%, the "power restriction" affected hundreds of ceramic factories in China

At present, the world is deeply mired in an energy crisis, and many countries such as Spain, United States, India, Brazil, Japan and South Korea are experiencing an "electricity shortage".

China's ceramic industry is also facing the challenges. Due to the continuous rise in coal prices and the tight electricity supply, many provinces and cities have raised the price of non-residential electricity. Among them, the peak electricity price in Guangdong has been raised by 25%, and the cost of electricity in the ceramic industry will further increase.

Hundreds of ceramic factories have suffered from direct shutdown, capacity reduction (ranging from 20% to 70%), staggered peak production, power restriction in different periods, etc.
