On August 5th, the General Administration of Market Supervision issued news to implement the spirit of the national telephone conference call for the country's peak summer energy guarantee, and to effectively help the energy guarantee and stable price work. The survey team went to Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Shaanxi to conduct investigations, further strengthen the supervision of electric coal prices, clarify the legal red line, and standardize the order of electric coal prices.

With the peak period of power load, the country's electricity load continued to rise. Coal power is the "top beam column" that guarantees the safe and stable supply of power, and it is of great significance to do a good job in the supply and stability of electricity. At present, the price of coal is high, and the cost of coal power enterprises has increased and operating pressure. It is hoped that the government will increase supervision.

The survey highlights three key points. The first is to highlight the key issues and carry out key investigations for the clues of suspected prices and prices of prices and prices. The second is to highlight the key links and firmly twist the key "pit price" of coal production enterprises. The third is to highlight key areas and focus on investigating coal companies in the main producing areas of electric coal. Through the investigation, 18 coal companies were initially identified as suspected of coaling coal prices, and 3 trading centers were suspected of not performing government pricing.

From the perspective of illegal form, the main manifestations of the prices are the following three. The first is to greatly increase the price of sales prices, and coal production enterprises have greatly increased sales prices without significantly changes in costs. The second is to increase the trading link, and the price increases the price. Coal production enterprises will sell coal to related trading companies to increase the price of price increases through affiliated trading companies to increase the price. The third is to sell power coal in the name of chemical coal. The enterprise signed a confirmation letter in the name of "chemical coal", but the actual sales of power coal will push the price by avoiding the long -term price limit. The main manifestation of government pricing is that individual coal trading centers have self -established projects and self -filed standards to increase coal transaction costs.

The State Administration of Market Supervision will further implement the relevant deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, continue to strengthen coal price supervision in accordance with the requirements of energy insurance supply stability, and concentrate the exposure of typical cases, form a strong deterrent, and guide coal prices to operate in a reasonable range. Guide market supervision departments at all levels to conduct special surveys of coal prices, better give play to the social effects of regulatory law enforcement, go all out to do a good job of stabilizing and stabilizing the price of energy guarantee for the peak summer, and better serve the overall macroeconomic situation.
