Tianqi's Australian Lithium Plant Costs Double
China's Tianqi Lithium is encountering expense overruns and delays at its Kwinana refinery in Australia besides struggling to repay financial obligation. Tianqi's financial investment per lots of lithium hydroxide ($/ tLiOH) for Kwinana is 10 times greater than a comparable converter Ganfeng created in China. On December 8, Tianqi announced a $1.4 billion manage IGO Ltd. The bargain will certainly supply $200 million to finish Kwinana Phase I by 2022, 4 years behind schedule. Initially revealed in 2016, Phase I (24,000 t LiOH) was to set you back $299 million as well as compensation by 2018. In 2019, Tianqi increased financial investment to $525 million as well as postponed it to 2020. By August 2020, Tianqi had to put Phase I on hold. For contrast, Ganfeng's lithium hydroxide converters in China were much cheaper. Stage I of Mahong (20,000 t LiOH) was revealed in 2016 at $45 million (302 million yuan) and was appointed on schedule in 2018. Ganfeng then spent $72 million (500 million yuan) for Phase II (25,000 t LiOH), which was later raised to $113 million (766 million yuan) for 50,000 t LiOH.

China’s polysilicon leaders form acquisition vehicle to tackle oversupply
China’s biggest polysilicon players have set up Beijing Guanghe Qiancheng Technology, a 3-billion-yuan acquisition company designed to explore partnerships and potentially tidy up a market drowning in surplus capacity. Tongwei’s unit holds roughly 30% of the new firm, with GCL Technology and other state-linked and private backers filling out the shareholder list. Analysts say the entity could pursue consolidation or efficiency upgrades—though shuttering excess capacity will be politically delicate in provinces reliant on factory jobs. Reuters Polysilicon is the keystone of solar manufacturing, and China’s build-out overshot demand, crushing prices and margins across the chain. An OPEC-style cut was floated this year, but crafting a mechanism that satisfies local governments, lenders, and corporate strategies is complex. An acquisition vehicle offers a more flexible tool: pick off distressed assets, standardize processes, and reduce the least efficient volumes without blunt caps.   If executed, consolidation could stabilize pricing, improve quality, and reduce wastage—benefits that would ripple to wafer, cell, and module makers worldwide. For downstream developers, healthier manufacturers mean steadier delivery schedules and warranties with real teeth.
