The supply situation of thermal coal continues to improve, effectively ensuring the demand for coal for power generation and heating

The National Energy Administration released the energy situation and the operation of renewable energy grid-connected in the first three quarters of
2022 on the 14th.
Since September, the coal storage of power plants has remained above 170 million tons, and the supply situation of thermal coal has continued to improve, effectively ensuring the demand
for coal for power generation and heating.

In the first three quarters, the coal output of enterprises above designated size in the country was 3.
32 billion tons, an increase of 11.
2%
year-on-year.
From the perspective of key coal-producing areas, Jin-Shaanxi-Mengxin coal production accounted for 80.
9% of the country, contributing 90.
5%
to output growth.

"The construction of advanced coal mine production capacity has been accelerated, a total of 14 coal mine projects have been approved, with a new production capacity of more than 62 million tons per year, and the joint trial operation of coal mines with a capacity of about 90 million tons per year has been promoted, further consolidating the production capacity foundation
for increasing coal production and ensuring supply.
" Liu Tao, deputy director of the Coal Department of the National Energy Administration, said coal prices had remained stable
overall.
In October, the annual long-term price of 5500 kcal thermal coal in Qinhuangdao was 719 yuan / ton, down 6 yuan / ton from the beginning of the year, and 51 yuan / ton lower than the maximum limit price of 770 yuan / ton, stabilizing the basic plate of thermal coal supply
.

In addition, Wang Dapeng, deputy director of the Department of New and Renewable Energy of the National Energy Administration, introduced that in the first three quarters, China's renewable energy installed capacity was 90.
36 million kilowatts, accounting for 78.
8%
of the country's new power generation capacity.
Among them, hydropower added 15.
9 million kilowatts, wind power added 19.
24 million kilowatts, photovoltaic power generation added 52.
6 million kilowatts, and biomass power generation added 2.
62 million kilowatts
.

As of the end of September 2022, China's installed renewable energy power generation capacity reached 1.
146 billion kilowatts, and the national renewable energy power generation reached 1.
94 trillion kilowatt hours
.
