The power plant is full of stock, still looking around for coal

Times November 11 (reporter Liu Biao) winter coming, heating power to use coal, Jinan major power plants are declared, coal inventory sufficient.　　However, the reporter recently learned that the plant is still going all out to purchase coal, which is the coal price soaring, Shanxi coal prices to a record high, according to the Convention, to the Spring Festival before and after the peak of coal, coal prices have to rise 20%-30%. According to common sense, the price of goods, more because of its shortage, but the winter of coal is an exception. Jinan Yellow Taiwan Power Plant Fuel Supply department Responsible Mr. Gao told reporters that in previous years, 9, October is the traditional low season of coal, until November or even December winter to attack, the coal market began to rise, but this year is somewhat special, from the beginning of October, coal prices have soared, at present,　　Their factory procurement of coal equivalent TCE close to 1000 yuan/ton, compared with the same period last year nearly 200 yuan/ton, of which half of the October rose up. Qinhuangdao Coal Trading Market recently released data show that within one months (September 27 October 27), calorific value of 5500 kcal of power coal from 720 yuan/ton up to 760 yuan/ton, the current price compared with the same period last year rose 130 yuan per ton, or more than 20%.　　From Jinan Coal source ——— Shanxi Province Electric Power Industry association data shows that the current Shanxi electric coal prices have reached the highest point, of which the Changzhi area Tce 795 yuan/ton, higher than the historical maximum value of 45 yuan/ton. On the one hand is soaring coal prices, but on the other hand, the power plant inventory sufficient. According to the data from Jinan, the main power plant in Jinan coal inventory, as of November 4, Huang Tai Power Plant inventory of 180,000 tons, can maintain the use of 25 days, Zhangqiu power Plant inventory 150,000 tons, can maintain the use of 21 days or so. The country is the same situation, the National Development and Reform Commission data show that as of October 31, Qinhuangdao port 7.1 million tons of coal storage, compared with the end of September increase of 600,000 tons, the National Key power plant storage 62.76 million tons, compared to the end of September 2.17 million tons, available days 21 days. "There is no shortage of coal now, and it does not mean the future is not short of coal. Mr. Gao said that at present, all the personnel except him were sent to Shanxi and other coal-producing areas, regardless of the cost of the purchase of coals, how much to buy, as long as can be transported to Jinan. The responsible person of Jinan thermoelectric company also said that although the coal price continues to rise, transport costs are increasing, the difficulty of raw coal procurement is increasing, capital turnover is also more and more slow, but they still send personnel into Shanxi, especially to Changzhi, Taiyuan and other low sulfur source of coal to visit, negotiate, develop customer resources,　　To meet this winter spring power supply heating coal demand. According to Shandong Province, the deputy Director of the letter Wang Wanliang introduced, from the perennial situation, the highest electricity load in Shandong year is in the winter, is expected this winter peak load will be more than 45 million-kilowatt, electric coal daily consumption will be more than 320,000 tons, peak time will be about 360,000 tons. On the other hand, Shandong's dependence on foreign coal is high, especially near the end of the year, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other key productionCoal mines tend to increase the strength of coal mine safety regulation, will affect the coal production, and then affect the coal supply of our province; At the same time, forecasts that the extreme weather may be frequent this year, it is bound to affect the long-distance coal transport, the formation of coal can not be transported to Shandong's embarrassing situation, so early preparation is still necessary. "Coal prices are high this year, but in previous years, the peak of coal use before and after the Spring festival will be higher than the winter Shansheng." "The power plant now has to save more coal," said Jinan, the head of the Commission. But high coal prices have overwhelmed the power plants, Huang Taiwan power plant in charge of Ms. Xu told reporters, coal prices have climbed, their internet price is slow, the middle profit is getting smaller, "if this year the trend of coal prices will not be controlled, this year the enterprise is very likely to lose money." "In fact, the power plant losses are not uncommon," China Electric Power Enterprise Federation October 29 released the report showed that as of the end of August, China's coal-fired enterprises net profit fell nearly 20%, the central six provinces, Shandong Thermal Power continue to lose all losses, and new Northeast thermal power loss. "The reason or the coal-electricity linkage mechanism has not been put into place." "Mr. Gao said that since 2004, China has implemented coal-electricity price linkage mechanism, a total of four coal-electricity price linkage, but there is a larger gap."　　China's coal prices have continued to rise since 2003, with 5500 kcal of coal in Qinhuangdao rising by more than 150% per cent, while sales prices rose only 32%, according to a report by the CLP Union. "Because of the rise in coal prices, in October this year, the industry rumors that the country will increase the power plant electricity prices, but later on." Mr. Gao said. However, the National Development and Reform Commission has considered the use of electricity in the residential areas of the implementation of stepped electricity prices, and conducted a public consultation online, some people think that this is a disguised price increases, some analysts believe that if the end of electricity prices in disguise, the power grid prices may also be raised.
