Many cities in the north have not benefited from the reduction of coal heating fees

Recently, data show that this year's coal price fell by 54.
63%
compared with the high point of coal price in 2011.
However, many urban residents have not enjoyed the benefits
of the sharp fall in coal prices, which should lead to lower heating bills.

Some cities should fine-tune the price of heating fees, such as Harbin and Dalian, which plan to reduce the price by 2 yuan per square meter; Some cities explicitly do not adjust the price of heating fees, such as Lanzhou, Yinchuan, Anyang and other cities; In some cities, the price of heating charges is first implemented according to last year, and if it is transferred later, it will be more refunded and less subsidized, such as Changchun Weifang and other cities
.
In this regard, industry insiders analyzed that coal and oil are commodities, and heating costs should be linked with coal prices like oil prices, and adjusted accordingly with coal prices
.
Some insiders also revealed that the relevant departments of the National Development and Reform Commission also felt that the coal power price linkage mechanism should have been implemented a long time ago, but it has not been implemented due to various restrictions
