Coal is about industrial production, and it is more about heating the people.

However, in recent times, coal prices have risen rapidly, hitting record highs in succession. The National Development and Reform Commission called it "completely divorced from the fundamentals of supply and demand" and "still showing a trend of further irrational increases."

Just this week, multiple departments worked together to take a variety of intervention measures in accordance with the law to promote the return of coal prices to a reasonable range.

　　The reporter learned from China Southern Power Grid on October 22 that the five provinces and autonomous regions of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Hainan will realize that all coal-fired electricity will be traded in the electricity market starting from November, and market-based electricity prices will fluctuate up and down.

　　Lu Yong, deputy general manager of the Planning and Finance Department of China Southern Power Grid: Promoting all coal-fired power and all industrial and commercial power to enter the market for market transactions is conducive to straightening out the price mechanism of coal power and alleviating the current power supply shortage.

Consolidate local responsibilities and ensure that the prices of civil gas and heating are basically stable.

We will do a good job in the pre-plan for "suppressing non-residents", reasonably control the lighting of the city's night scenes, and promote energy conservation.
