Hi, Benny! I want to know what does “五小” means? Take a look at the follwing paragraph:

由于持续干旱,广西的水力发电已经为零。秋旱提早露头的广西从10月14日开始,已开始拉闸限电。广西电力部门要求所有有能力发电的企业必须自备机组发电运行。暂停供电“五小”企业,一些规模小、效益差的高耗能企业实施“开五停二”用电原则。

What are those 五小 industries? I didn’t know, so I googled 五小 and found some information about it as following:

近日,内蒙古自治区政府明令各地加快结构调整,加大淘汰落后产能力度,对一批达不到国家准入标准的小电厂、小钢铁、小水泥、小炼焦、小有色等“五小”企业坚决予以关闭淘汰。

But I still don’t understand what is 五小, are they five industries that produce steel, cement and so on. Why do they have 小 before words such as 电厂, 钢铁, 水泥, 炼焦 and 有色, what does it mean?

Hi Lee Kong, this is a very old word for companies which are not apply for the standard of the certain government law. I don’t know the details because “五小” almost don’t exist any more.

I asked my dad, his opinion is "company with very old technology, wasted too much resource, unsafe condition, bad quality and big pollution
