CHINA STATE PLANNER and the National Energy Administration issued the Coal Industry 15th Five-Year Plan, directing stronger measures to stabilise coal production and supply, optimise production organisation and orderly release advanced capacity. The plan calls for studying a coordinated-production mechanism among key coal provinces to smooth market functioning, strengthening supply-demand monitoring and production dispatch, and enforcing signing and performance of mid-to-long-term power-coal contracts. It mandates enhanced regional mutual aid and multi-energy complementarity to raise peak summer and winter supply capacity, stabilise supply in the Two Lakes and One River region, the Northeast and the Southwest, deepen supply‑demand linkages and strategic cooperation between producing and consuming areas, optimise coal reserve-base layout, lift power-plant coal stocks and prioritise household coal needs.
