There is no substantial shortage of coal supply in my country

According to news from the National Development and Reform Commission, after the peak of coal consumption in early August, national coal consumption has gradually declined
.
On August 23, the coal consumption of power plants nationwide was 6.

Zhou Dadi said: "The coal mine's production capacity is highly adjustable.
Although there are requirements in various aspects of safety, such as the operating rate cannot exceed the quota in all aspects, the quota of the mine is indeed flexible, continuous production capacity or working surface In terms of usage, arrangement, new mining ratio, etc.

Many other experts also said that there is no shortage of coal in China as a whole
.
However, since the beginning of this year, coal prices have indeed risen sharply.
Taking 5,500 kcal thermal coal as an example, the current port price is still around 1,000 yuan per ton, which is more than 400 yuan higher than the February low

He pointed out that coal prices mainly depend on two factors
.
"One is when the economy is good, the price of coal will go up; the other is the climate, which is also seasonal, and this will happen in summer and winter

Experts also pointed out that this round of coal price increase is too high, obviously exceeding the level of previous years, does not rule out the possibility of man-made manipulation
.
At the same time that the National Development and Reform Commission released the thermal coal data, Yulin, a major coal producer, announced that in response to the recent release of the coal price increase information by the Yulin Coal Trading Center, it decided to conduct a city-wide special investigation to verify the contents of the relevant official accounts.
And investigate and deal with according to relevant regulations, conduct interviews with the main person in charge of the agency, and deal with them according to relevant regulations

He said: "In the past, there were more than 60,000 mines, but now there are only 4,000 to 5,000 mines in total.
To some extent, the concentration of coal is relatively high

It is worth noting that institutional data show that a total of 54,000 coal-related companies were newly added in the first half of the year, a year-on-year increase of 24%
.
Zhou Dadi believes that many new companies are concentrated in the coal sales link, which is the so-called "middleman", which may also affect the coal market trend
