Recently, coal prices have risen sharply, and all aspects of society have responded strongly. In accordance with the “Price Law” and the prohibition of profiteering and other relevant laws and regulations, the National Development and Reform Commission is studying the establishment of a standardized coal market price formation mechanism to guide the long-term stability of coal prices in a reasonable range.
Coal is an important basic energy source, which has a great impact on economic and social development, is closely related to the lives of residents, and basically depends on domestic production and is concentrated in the main producing areas. In accordance with the current relevant laws and regulations, the National Development and Reform Commission is studying the inclusion of coal in the scope of products to stop profiteering. It has organized a cost-benefit survey of the coal industry to calculate and determine the average coal market price, average price difference, average profit rate and Its reasonable range, etc.
On this basis, the coal industry will consider the reasonable costs, normal profits and market changes in the coal industry, and will study the establishment of a long-term coal market price mechanism of “base price + fluctuations” And strengthen the connection with the market-oriented electricity price mechanism for coal-fired power generation. At the same time, it will improve supporting measures and focus on strengthening supervision. Any behavior that does not strictly implement the market price mechanism will be strictly investigated and dealt with in accordance with laws and regulations to guide the coal market to return to rationality and guide the return of coal prices. Reasonable range to promote the continuous, coordinated and healthy development of the coal and power industries.
