On the 29th, the China Coal Association and the China Coal Transportation and Marketing Association issued a proposal calling on medium-sized and large-scale coal companies to actively increase their potential production, and in particular to take strong measures to increase the effective supply of coal resources.
It is reported that the six major power generation groups recently wrote to the relevant departments of the state and demanded the lifting of the bundled sales policies of the four major mines(China Coal, Tongcoal, Yitai, and Li Guozheng). The NDRC proposed two alternative paths for the coal mine:
The first is to reduce the annual long-term agreement price, that is, from 535 yuan/ton to 520 yuan/ton;
The second is to reduce the monthly price of thermal coal to the yellow range, that is, the price of 5500 kcal thermal coal in the Bohai Sea port to below 600 yuan/ton.
Sources say the NDRC is not just trying to reduce annual and monthly longagreement prices to the yellow range, but is hoping for a decline in the overall price of thermal coal, including spot prices.
Why do we need to reduce the price of thermal coal as soon as possible?
Yide futures coal researcher Guandali said in an interview with the Shanghai Stock Exchange that it is mainly related to the government's request for another price reduction. In accordance with the requirements of deepening the market-oriented reform of electricity, it is necessary to clean up the additional charges for electricity prices, reduce the cost of electricity consumption in the manufacturing industry, and reduce the average industrial and commercial electricity price by another 10 %.
In fact, last year, electricity grid charges and transmission and distribution prices have been reduced, and some provinces to complete the task, adopted the removal of desulfurization and denitrification subsidies, which in fact reduced the price of access to the Internet. If you want to push the electricity price down through bidding, so that power generation companies can obtain power generation targets through reducing the feed-in price, the final cost of coal combustion can not be too high.
The China Coal Association and the China Coal Transportation and Marketing Association also stated this time that they are highly concerned about the supply and demand situation in the coal market and will adjust the flow of resources in accordance with market changes in a timely manner to maintain the smooth operation of the coal market. The large state-owned coal enterprises will take the initiative to adhere to the medium-and long-term contract system and the pricing mechanism of "benchmark price + floating price", and actively guide the coal market prices to be at a reasonable level.
鈥淭he fundamental solution to the problem of high coal prices will depend on increasing the efficient supply of the market. At present, in the face of many uncertainties in the international market, there is still a need to increase domestic power coal production, so that the power coal price has room to decline. "Guandali thinks.
