It was learned from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) on October 31 that the national coal supply and demand situation has improved significantly, and the coal output has increased significantly as well. According to the recent coal supply level, the coal storage of the power plant is expected to exceed 110 million tons in three days and the available days will reach 20 days, laying a good foundation for ensuring the safe supply of power and the people's warm winter.

Recently, NDRC and relevant departments have taken many measures to tap the potential and increase production of coal mines. All parties involved in production and transportation need to work together to increase market supply. Phased results have been achieved in ensuring coal supply and stabilizing coal prices. The data show that since the middle and late October, the national average daily coal output has remained above 11.5 million tons for several consecutive days, an increase of nearly 1.1 million tons over the end of September, up to 11.72 million tons, setting a peak daily output in recent years. The spot price of coal fell rapidly. The main contract of thermal coal fell for 8 consecutive days, with a cumulative decline of 50.9%. It closed at 970 yuan / ton on October 29. The closing price of 5500k thermal coal at the port has been reduced to less than 1500 yuan / ton, and the price of 5500k thermal coal at the pit mouth has been reduced to less than 1200 yuan / ton, down nearly 1000 yuan in a week. The coal storage in Qinhuangdao Port exceeded 5 million tons. The storage capacity in Qinhuangdao Port coal yard has increased steadily, especially after the maintenance of Daqin line, the coal input has increased significantly.

With the gradual improvement of supply and demand situation, the coal storage level of national unified dispatching power plants has increased rapidly. NDRC expressed that since October 5, the coal supply of the national unified dispatching power plant has exceeded the coal consumption for 25 consecutive days. Since October 19, the coal supply of the power plant has exceeded the coal consumption by more than 1 million tons. In recent consecutive days, the coal supply has exceeded 8 million tons, reaching a historical peak of 8.32 million tons, 2 million tons more than the coal consumption, and the coal storage level has reached 106 million tons, an increase of more than 28 million tons over the end of September, which can be used for 19 days. Among them, the coal storage of power plants in the three Northeastern provinces has exceeded 12.7 million tons, nearly doubled compared with the end of September, and the available days have increased to 32 days.
