In the peak summer, my country's thermal coal inventory is sufficient

　　He Yang, director of the Electric Power Department of the National Energy Administration, said on the 27th that the current national thermal coal inventory is sufficient, reaching the best level in the same period in history, and the foundation for power supply guarantee has been further consolidated
.

　　This is what He Yang introduced at the press conference of the State Council Information Office that day
.
He Yang said that since July this year, under the influence of economic growth and high temperature, China's electricity consumption and electricity load have also increased rapidly
.
With the advent of the peak electricity load from late July to early August, it is expected that the national electricity load will continue to rise
.

　　In response to the above situation, the National Energy Administration started in advance and formulated a number of measures to ensure various guarantees for the peak summer
.

　　He Yang said, first of all, in terms of power security, continue to strengthen the monitoring and analysis of power supply and demand, study and judge the national power supply and demand situation, timely, comprehensively and accurately grasp the power supply and demand situation in each province, and at the same time guide localities and enterprises to do a careful and practical response to power supply guarantee.

.
The second is to promote the construction and commissioning of major power projects.
In the first half of this year, a total of 70 million kilowatts of new power sources were put into operation nationwide
.
The new inter-provincial power transmission channels from northern Shaanxi to Wuhan and Baihetan to Jiangsu have been put into operation
.

　　Coal power is the backbone of the power supply guarantee.
The National Energy Administration has taken various measures to ensure the supply of thermal coal: First, the responsibility for increasing coal production and ensuring supply is compacted.
coal production tasks
.
The second is to stabilize the coal supply guarantee policy, and extend the coal supply guarantee policy last winter and this spring until March 2023 to fully release advanced production capacity
.
The third is to adhere to the national coal production scheduling, to achieve daily scheduling of the output and operation of coal-producing provinces and regions, to grasp the national coal production dynamics at the first time, and to help localities and enterprises solve practical problems encountered in the coal production process in a timely manner
.
The fourth is to speed up the commissioning of advanced production capacity.
Since the beginning of this year, the advanced production capacity of coal mines has been approved to be 37.
7 million tons/year, the production capacity will be adjusted to 9 million tons/year, and the trial production capacity will be promoted to 60 million tons/year
.
Fifth, strengthen the supervision of the performance of medium and long-term thermal coal contracts, urge the performance of medium and long-term contracts, and ensure the normal supply of thermal coal
.

　　He Yang said that through the above measures, despite the recent record high power load, the national electricity supply and demand is still stable and orderly
