Zhongxin Finance, May 19. According to the WeChat public account of the National Development and Reform Commission, recently, the National Development and Reform Commission's announcement on clarifying the price-gouging behavior of operators in the coal field (No. 4, 2022) proposed specific behaviors for price-gouging.
When a coal production and operation enterprise signs a contract with the buyer, it shall not increase the coal sales price in a disguised form by unreasonably increasing transportation costs or unreasonably charging other fees.
For example, the upper limit of the reasonable range for the medium and long-term transaction price of Mengxi coal (5,500 kcal, the same below) is 460 yuan/ton. And the power plant is required to bear the circulation cost of 150 yuan/ton for loading from the coal mine to the upper station. For example, the reasonable circulation cost for loading from the coal mine to the upper station is actually only 50 yuan/ton. Suspected of price gouging.
