In 2022, the overall balance of power supply and demand will increase, and coal power will provide auxiliary services for new energy.

In the first quarter of this year, due to the global geopolitical tension, energy prices continued to increase, which continuously pushed up the prices of commodities and end-use energy in China.

According to the estimate of the China Electricity Council, the electricity consumption of the whole society in 2022 will be 8.

In order to ensure the stable operation and coal supply of coal power and other enterprises, the National Development and Reform Commission recently required that the number of medium and long-term contracts signed by coal companies should reach more than 80% of their own resources, and each medium and long-term coal contract must be within a reasonable range.

The China Electricity Council suggested that in order to ensure energy security, the development of coal power during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period should adhere to strict control of increments, optimize the stock, appropriately arrange the scale of new coal power, and at the same time increase the income of coal power providing auxiliary services for new energy.
