Core Viewpoint - A significant industry reshuffle is occurring in the polysilicon sector, driven by new energy consumption standards that favor technologically advanced companies while pushing outdated capacities out of the market [2][8]. Group 1: New Energy Consumption Standards - The National Standardization Administration has released draft standards for polysilicon and silicon products, establishing strict energy consumption limits [2]. - The new standards set the energy consumption limits for polysilicon at 6.4 kgce/kg, with a requirement to reduce to 5.5 kgce/kg for compliance, significantly tightening previous limits [2][4]. - The new standards will lead to the closure of companies that fail to meet the revised energy consumption benchmarks within a specified timeframe [4][6]. Group 2: Impact on Industry Capacity - Following the implementation of the new standards, the effective domestic polysilicon production capacity is expected to decrease to approximately 2.4 million tons per year, a reduction of 16.4% compared to the end of 2024 [4]. - The new standards could result in the shutdown of over 30% of the industry’s capacity, significantly alleviating the current overcapacity situation [4][7]. - Despite the reduction, the remaining capacity will still exceed the projected demand of 1.5 million tons by 2026 by about 60% [4]. Group 3: Competitive Landscape - Leading companies like GCL-Poly and Tongwei are expected to maintain a competitive edge due to their compliance with the new energy standards [5][8]. - GCL-Poly's granular silicon energy consumption meets the new first-level standard, while Tongwei's energy consumption is close to the second-level standard, positioning them favorably in the market [5][8]. - The new standards are anticipated to enhance the "head effect" in the photovoltaic industry, favoring companies that can adapt and innovate [5][7]. Group 4: Industry Challenges and Opportunities - The new energy standards represent a significant challenge for many polysilicon producers, necessitating substantial investments in technology upgrades to remain competitive [6][8]. - The industry is experiencing a shift towards higher quality requirements, which may lead to increased costs for companies unable to adapt quickly [6][7]. - The implementation of these standards is part of a broader strategy to improve profitability across the photovoltaic supply chain, with various measures being taken to stabilize the market [7].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Copper: Short - term copper prices are under slight pressure due to macro factors, supply tightness, and weak terminal consumption. The cross - market long - position arbitrage should be continued, and options should be on hold [4][11]. - Alumina: Alumina prices are expected to run weakly. The domestic and international spot prices are falling in resonance, and the fundamentals are in a weak trend [13][14]. - Aluminum: Aluminum prices are expected to remain weak in the short term until there is a significant improvement in consumption. Arbitrage and options should be on hold for now [19][22]. - Cast Aluminum Alloy: The price of cast aluminum alloy futures is expected to run weakly following the aluminum price. Arbitrage and options should be on hold [26][29]. - Zinc: Short - term zinc prices may fluctuate within a range. Overseas de - stocking may support zinc prices, but there is a risk of further decline if LME stocks increase significantly [32]. - Lead: Lead prices are expected to fluctuate at a high level. The supply may increase, and downstream enterprises may stock up before the holiday, resulting in a combination of long and short factors [37]. - Nickel: Nickel prices are expected to have a wide - range shock. Although demand is in the peak season, supply is growing faster, and the net import in September is expected to decline [42]. - Stainless Steel: Stainless steel prices are expected to maintain a volatile trend. Production has increased in September, but demand has not shown seasonal strength, and there is both supply pressure and cost support [49][51]. - Tin: Tin prices are expected to remain high and volatile. The supply of tin ore is still tight, and demand is sluggish, but there are signs of short - term supply improvement [55]. - Industrial Silicon: Industrial silicon prices may continue to correct in the short term. The inventory structure is "low at both ends and high in the middle", and the production of polysilicon in October and market sentiment have a greater impact on prices [63]. - Polysilicon: Polysilicon prices are expected to rise after a sufficient correction. Although there is a risk of demand decline in October, the spot price is firm under the restricted sales background [67]. - Lithium Carbonate: Lithium carbonate prices are expected to have a wide - range shock. The supply and demand are both strong, but there is hedging pressure and a slight increase in the customer - supplied ratio next month [70][72]. 3.
