Beijing authorities have released a plan for energy development from 2021 to 2025, emphasizing replacing coal with clean energy.

The growth rate was 3.1 percentage points higher than that of December 2021, the bureau said.

More heavy-haul freight trains will be put into operation to step up the country's capacity to transport coal from north to south, the company said.

In 2021, major coal enterprises in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, China, produced 672.831 million tons of raw coal.

Yulin's coal output exceeded 0.55 billion tons in 2021 for the first time to 0.552 billion tons, up 6.2% YoY.

In 2021, Datong, as a major energy production city in Shanxi Province, made contributions to the national energy supply and price stability, and the city's energy production increased rapidly.

"I was told that these projects can generate a combined annual output value of 13.2 billion yuan, once they are operational," Wu said.

China's top economic planner has called for further improving the price-formation mechanism in the coal market to guide price movements within a reasonable range.
