Shanxi's coal-fired power generation enterprises have suffered huge losses for three consecutive years. They have no money to buy coal while sitting on a coal pile. In response, the Shanxi Electric Supervisory Office (formerly known as Taiyuan Electric Supervisory Office, changed its name in August 2010) has submitted numerous reports to the State Electricity Regulatory Commission and Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government since 2008, which has aroused great concern from all parties. Recently, in order to promote the solution of the problem as soon as possible, the Shanxi Electric Supervisory Office and this website have joined hands to penetrate into a number of power generation companies and conducted on-site in-depth investigations.
There are three general managers sitting across from three different power plants.
This is a situation we did not expect at all. What we expected was to see only one of them, or his deputy.
Their power plants belong to different investment entities. Their construction years and installed capacity are different. However, they are in Shanxi and are in the southeast of Shanxi and suffer the same pain.
Without exception, their faces were filled with sorrow, words eagerly expressed their appeals, and it seemed that they wished to dump all the circumstances into our minds within a limited time.
“Help us to appeal for appeal.†In a short period of time, they expressed the simplest wishes again and again.
As businesses, their “zero profit†demands are incredible, but how true and remote they are. The huge losses for three consecutive years have already made it difficult for them to continue. The hope now is to balance revenues and losses and allow companies to continue to survive in order to fulfill their corporate social responsibilities.
Shanxi is a coal-producing province in China, and its coal production ranks first in all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities). Even though Inner Mongolia has experienced a rapid increase in production capacity since 2009, its status as a big coal province has not changed. According to official data, Shanxi's coal production in 2010 reached 740 million tons.
It can be said that the coal-fired power plant in Shanxi Province sits on a coal pile and there is a chance that it will get near the water. However, recent coal-fired shutdowns have caused frequent power cuts.
In response to this, many power generation companies that the reporter has contacted have a simple and straightforward explanation: “We are not able to buy coal, but we have no money to buy coal.†A word that cannot be simpler yet has deep meanings and deep hints. Levels of conflict.
This has caused the provincial government of Shanxi Province to attach great importance to it. On March 4, the newly appointed Vice Governor of Shanxi Province, Ren Runhou, convened a meeting with Shanxi Electric Supervisory Office, eight power companies, and four coal companies to find a solution to the dilemma of thermal power companies.
