Regarding the "Emergency Notice on Accelerating the Release of Part of Coal Mine Production Capacity" (referred to as the "Notice") circulating on the Internet, a relevant person from the Inner Mongolia Energy Administration told reporters that the above-mentioned "Notice" was indeed issued, but it was only released to coal sales companies public.

According to the requirements of the "Notice", a total of 72 coal mines in Inner Mongolia have been included in the "National List of Nuclear Increase Potentials", and a total nuclear increase of 98.35 million tons/year is planned. Among them, non-central enterprise coal mines need to complete the relevant procedures for nuclear increase in production capacity before the end of October. The nuclear increase is 55.11% of the original annual production capacity of the 72 coal mines.

Industry insiders predict that since this part of the production capacity will be produced immediately and the nuclear increase process is required to be completed by the end of October, it is expected that this part of coal mines will soon begin to contribute to the increase in coal production in the future, which will alleviate the current coal supply shortage.

The above-mentioned relevant person from the Inner Mongolia Energy Bureau revealed that the current production increase measures are temporary, and the relevant coal mines can organize production according to the monthly average distribution of the annual production capacity after the nuclear increase. However, relevant coal mines can apply in accordance with the verification procedures, and after approval, they will be converted to permanent production capacity.

The reporter learned that as the peak of coal consumption for heating in winter in the north approaches, the peak of coal consumption is coming. For this reason, Inner Mongolia is making every effort to promote the release of coal production capacity. In order to stabilize the coal market, Ordos actively promotes qualified coal companies to handle the start-up filing and joint trial operation, and accelerate the progress of the construction of high-quality production coal mines. As of the beginning of October, the city of Ordos had a normal production of 225 coal mines with a production capacity of 640 million tons per year; the city's average daily output exceeded 2.1 million tons, reaching its peak this year.

On October 6, Liaoning Province held a special meeting on the work of ensuring coal power supply, emphasizing that all relevant departments and related enterprises must proceed from the overall situation of protecting the people's livelihood and ensure the continued funding of coal power enterprises. The relevant person in charge of the Liaoning Provincial Development and Reform Commission said that the next step will be to strengthen the province's coal mine scheduling and implement a weekly production report system. Comprehensively investigate potential safety hazards to prevent production shutdowns due to safety issues from affecting coal supply.
