The output of central coal enterprises has reached a record high and exceeded the 1 billion ton mark for the first time

　　Zhongxin Finance, January 19. On January 19, at the press conference on the economic operation of central enterprises in 2021 held by the State Council Information Office, in response to the issue of ensuring energy supply, Peng Huagang, secretary-general and spokesperson of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, said. , the output of central coal enterprises has reached a record high, and the output in 2021 will exceed the 1 billion ton mark for the first time.

The output of the central

　　According to Peng Huagang, by the end of 2021, 42 coal mines of central enterprises will be included in the emergency supply guarantee list, and it is expected to increase their production capacity by 94.1 million tons per year.

In the fourth quarter, the average daily coal production capacity reached 2.95 million tons, an increase of more than 17% over the first three quarters.

In 2021, the output of central coal enterprises exceeded the 1 billion ton mark for the first time.

　　In addition, the power generation output level of central power generation enterprises also exceeded the level of the same period in 2020.

By the end of 2021, the thermal coal inventory of central power generation enterprises reached 95.69 million tons, an increase of 29.2% year-on-year, and the available days of thermal coal inventory reached 20.1 days, an increase of 5.1 days year-on-year.

The annual power generation reached 4.95 trillion kWh, a year-on-year increase of 10.2%, accounting for 64.6% of the national power generation, 2.5 percentage points higher than the installed capacity.

　　Peng Huagang said that the central power grid companies effectively ensure that the orderly electricity consumption continues to be cleared.

Since the end of September 2021, State Grid and China Southern Power Grid have given full play to their advantages in resource allocation of large power grids, and have organized 732 cross-regional and cross-provincial supports, generating 5.3 billion kWh of electricity.

Guarantee the safe and stable supply of coal

　　Peng Huagang pointed out that the current international environment and global energy structure are undergoing profound changes, and my country's energy security and stable supply is also facing many challenges.

Faced with this situation, in the next step, the SASAC will unswervingly do a good job in ensuring energy security, effectively play the role of "stabilizer" and "ballast stone" for energy supply, and make greater contributions to national energy security and economic growth. Provide strong support for quality development.

　　Central coal enterprises will further implement the requirements of supply-side structural reform. On the one hand, they will focus on expanding increments and improving the concentration and control of high-quality coal resources; Improve the emergency supply guarantee plan, accelerate the release of high-quality coal production capacity, and make every effort to ensure the safe and stable supply of coal.

At the same time, continue to play the role of large enterprises in stabilizing the market, strictly implement the medium and long-term coal contract system, actively guide the market price to return to a reasonable range, and promote the stable operation of the coal market and the high-quality development of the industry.

Increase investment in clean energy construction

　　In terms of clean energy, central power generation enterprises will actively implement the national goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality", increase investment in clean energy construction, increase the proportion of clean energy installed capacity of central enterprises, and continue to play the main role of coal-fired power generation units. Rationally plan the scale of newly installed coal-fired power units, increase the efficient and clean transformation of existing coal-fired power units, and improve the safety and environmental protection level of coal-fired power units.

Increase the construction of coal reserve bases, increase coal storage efforts, and ensure that thermal coal stocks are at a reasonable level.

　　Central petroleum and petrochemical enterprises will continue to increase domestic natural gas production, strengthen key technological innovation, increase investment and development of shale gas fields, diversify natural gas import sources, and effectively fill the gap between supply and demand.

Accelerate the improvement of natural gas storage capacity, arrange the planning of gas storage in advance, strengthen the investment construction and operation management of gas storage, improve the natural gas industry chain, and ensure the safety of natural gas supply.

　　Peng Huagang said that the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission will also continue to promote the central enterprises to do their best to supply coal, power, heating and gas, resolutely fight to win the battle to ensure supply, and actively contribute to the strength of state-owned central enterprises to ensure the people's warm winter and maintain the stable operation of the national economy.
