The two provinces issued a notice of cement peak staggering and stopped production for at least 50 days in the first quarter.

Recently, Sichuan Cement Association issued the Notice on Staggered Peak Production in the First Quarter of 2025. In the

first quarter of 2025, the number of days of peak shifting and kiln shutdown for each clinker production line shall be 60 days. Among them, the number of off-peak shutdown days in January was 17 days, the number of off-peak shutdown days in February was 28 days, and the number of off-peak shutdown days in March was 15 days. Enterprises are encouraged to stop as far as possible when carrying out the monthly off-peak production tasks. The off-peak production task of regional enterprises

in Liangshan Prefecture is studied and implemented by the Liangshan Cement Industry Association itself, and the plan is submitted to the Provincial Cement Association for the record. Enterprises are required to actively respond to heavy pollution weather, encourage early peak staggering and multiple peak staggering, and actively contribute to the industry and society.

At the same time, Jiangxi Cement Association issued the Notice on the Requirements for Peak Staggering Production in the First Quarter of 2025. In the first quarter of 2025 (from January 1 to March 31), 48 rotary kiln production lines in the province are planned to stagger the peak for no less than 50 days, including no less than 40 days from January to February. In principle, no replacement is allowed between different factories.

The notice requires that the inspection teams should pay close attention to the development of peak-staggering production in enterprises in the region, timely communicate and supervise those who fail to carry out peak-staggering production according to the plan or whose peak-staggering is not in place, report the unsatisfactory communication effect to the Provincial Cement Association for coordination at the first time, and take the implementation of peak-staggering production in enterprises as the annual peak-staggering production. Ensure the effective landing of peak staggering production as planned.
