CCTV News: As the weather and temperature rise, the demand for coal increases. In June, the coal supply index rose to its highest level since August 2020, as coal companies accelerated the release of advanced coal production capacity and increased electricity coal production.
At an open-pit coal mine located in Pinglu District, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province, the reporter saw workers operating various large mechanical equipment, busy inside the mine. Despite the hot weather, production here is uninterrupted 24 hours a day, with a maximum daily output of over 110000 tons.
In order to stabilize coal and electricity prices and reduce the impact of coal price fluctuations on electricity prices, some state-owned coal companies have also signed long-term supply agreements with power enterprises at a certain price level. This main mine with a production capacity of over 20 million tons has a supply guarantee ratio of over 60%. In order to successfully complete the supply guarantee task, despite facing the pressure of rising mining costs, the company urgently purchased a batch of equipment such as online monitoring systems for mining pressure, main ventilation fans, and self moving trains.
According to statistics, in June, coal supply increased by 6.2% compared to the previous month, with a growth rate of 0.3 percentage points faster than the previous month, accelerating for two consecutive months. Most coal mines maintain normal production, and the overall coal supply is stable with an increase.
From the situation of major production areas, most coal mines in Inner Mongolia region maintain normal production, and the overall coal supply is basically stable. State owned large mines in the Shanxi region still focus on fulfilling long-term agreements to ensure coal supply, and transportation turnover is basically normal. Most coal mines in the Shaanxi region maintain normal production.
Overall, the effect of energy supply guarantee is significant, and it is expected that coal supply will continue to remain stable with an upward trend in July.
