Zhengzhou's municipal development and reform commission has issued a notice implementing tiered electricity pricing for the city's electrolytic aluminum, cement, and steel enterprises, effective retroactively from June 1, 2026.

Nine cement companies have met energy consumption standards and will be subject to the first-tier electricity price. These companies include Dengfeng Hongchang Cement Co., Ltd., Dengfeng Songji Cement Co., Ltd., Tianrui Xindeng Zhengzhou Cement Co., Ltd., Dengfeng Zhonglian Dengdian Cement Co., Ltd., Tianrui Group Zhengzhou Cement Co., Ltd., Henan Yong'an Cement Co., Ltd., Henan Shuanglong Building Materials Co., Ltd., Xinzheng Hengfa Cement Plant, and Zhengzhou Shunbao Cement Co., Ltd..

In the electrolytic aluminum sector, Henan Zhongfu Aluminum Co., Ltd. has met the required energy consumption standards and will also be charged at the first-tier electricity price. However, the Environmental Protection New Materials Plant of China Great Wall Aluminum Co., Ltd. has exceeded its energy consumption limits and will incur an additional surcharge of 0.35 yuan per kWh on top of the first-tier price.

Three steel enterprises—Henan Fuhua Iron and Steel Group Co., Ltd., Zhengzhou Yongtong Special Steel Co., Ltd., and Henan Changtai Stainless Steel Sheet Co., Ltd.—were in a state of complete suspension throughout 2025.

All production enterprises subject to the differentiated electricity pricing must strictly comply with the electricity surcharges. For those who refuse to pay the additional charges under various pretexts, all levels of power supply entities are required to handle the matter in accordance with laws and regulations.
