Recently, by the national large-scale high-temperature weather, local grid load continues to increase. National Power Control Center data show that in July 24-25 record for generation capacity twice. Among them, 25 July generating capacity of 16.867 billion kwh; national grid electricity load on the 25th record high, reaching 627 million kilowatts. 

Including the North, East, Central three regional power grid and Hebei, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and other seven provincial power grid load a record high. 

Climbed over the grid load, making the daily coal consumption in power generation companies are also increasing rapidly. According to the Coal Transportation and Marketing Association data show that as of August 4, the national focus on generating business day coal supply 3.84 million tons, 3.92 million tons on coal, power plant coal stocks at 67.96 million tons, the available number of days is 17 days. 

Coal industry analysts Xufeng that the recent Southern coal consumption up, the number of days available coal power plants are also "come down some." 

Recently, the reservoir water level is low, southern provinces contribute to a decrease in the majority of Hydro power plant capacity utilization rate has increased dramatically. A Case Study of Hunan Province, July 24 largest electricity load has reached 20.54 million kilowatts day amounted to 429 million kilowatts of electricity, both reaching record highs. 

According to data provided by the main thermal power plants currently average operation rate reached 96.6 percent, an increase of 1.3 percentage points, a corresponding reduction in coal stocks, the chain fell about 3%. 

It is noteworthy that, although the hot weather across the country continue to emerge, led to the growth of electricity consumption, but the decline in domestic coal prices are still difficult to stop. The latest one published Bohai thermal coal price index shows 5500 kcal heat thermal coal combined average price of 565 yuan / ton, compared with the previous reporting period decreased by 5 yuan / ton.
