China polysilicon and solar manufacturing sector (unnamed producers): Restructuring
China's new mandatory energy consumption standards (effective Jan 1, 2027) impose stricter limits on polysilicon production. The trichlorosilane process Grade 3 limit tightened from 6.4 to 6.3 kgce/kg; silane fluidized-bed limits also significantly reduced. Industry estimates suggest ~55% of existing rod silicon capacity cannot comply, potentially removing 1.5+ million tonnes from compliant capacity pool.
