Power rationing policies are in effect in many provinces in order to limit activities of energy-intensive industrial enterprises. There are two issues behind this one is that the government is trying to achieve lower energy consumption the other reason is that there is a shortage of electricity production capacity across the country.<\/p>\n
Measures to limit electricity use in factories are currently being enforced in 10 provincial regions including the economic centres of Jiangsu, Guangdong and Zhejiang Provinces.<\/p>\n
Many companies and factories in Guangdong province have been required to operate on a staggered schedule in which production lines are allowed to run for two to three days a week. Household power use is not limited.<\/p>\n
Wood processing enterprises are facing challenges in terms of environmental impact assessment and the power issue will further affect processing and production will decline further.<\/p>\n
