Ops among Jiangsu rebar mills fall on power-use curbs

ABSTRACT

Bar-mill capacity utilization among steel producers in East China’s Jiangsu, the country’s second largest steel producing province after Hebei, is seen falling by over one-third this month as more steelmakers in the province halt operations to conduct “intensive” maintenance, according to Mysteel’s latest survey. The mills are responding to government directives to tame energy consumption.
