　　To this end, the relevant departments have issued a series of policies. July 7th, the national development and Reform Commission held a meeting to resolve excess capacity, stressed the need to pay close attention to refine and organize the implementation of programs to ensure the completion of this year's target task. By the end of July, Premier Li Keqiang held a meeting of the State Council, to ensure that the goal of resolving the backward production capacity of iron and steel. Then, the coal industry to resolve overcapacity on the supervision and inspection program for the special inspection work of the State Council, the 10 inspection teams will focus on supervision capacity to implement the relevant policies, such as the implementation of the task decomposition and schedule. It is reported that around to the production capacity, the State Council issued the document No. 6 and No. 7, the relevant departments to develop a 8 supporting documents, the provinces have also developed a corresponding policy.

　　To speed up production capacity

　　Since August, the coal industry to accelerate the speed of production capacity. According to the national development and Reform Commission, deputy director of the Economic Operations Bureau Lu Junling September 8th morning introduction, as of the end of August, the national coal production capacity to complete the task of 60% this year, the cumulative exit capacity of 1.5 tons.

It is worth noting that, in the first half of this year to complete only 72 million 270 thousand tons of coal to the production capacity, only 29% of the annual target.

　　This means that, just over the past two months, the coal industry to the country to complete the annual task of 30%. According to the above data can be calculated, only one month in August, to complete the task of production capacity of 55 million tons. According to the plan, in 2016 the country's coal industry will exit the excess capacity of 2.5 tons. According to estimates, the domestic coal production capacity of 55 tons this year, legitimate, but the effective demand is about 3 billion 600 million -37 tons, the compression space is still large, it is not because of the current coal prices slowed to production pace.

　　According to the China Coal Industry Association estimates that in the first half of this year, the national coal consumption fell 2.9% in 2015, on the basis of 3.7% in 2014 fell 18.1, down to tons, down 88 million tons, down 4.6%. Coal demand has declined, but prices have rebounded, mainly because we have achieved success in production capacity, control of production, coal production fell more than demand." Lian Weiliang, deputy director of the national development and Reform Commission, said.

　　The reporter learned that the first half of the development and Reform Commission, established the inter ministerial joint meeting mechanism to resolve overcapacity and turnaround development work of 23 departments and associations to participate in the establishment of a day consultation, weekly meeting system.

In September 7th, the Bohai thermal coal price index of 5500 kcal coal average price at 515 yuan / ton, compared with the previous period rose 21 yuan / ton, and this is the 11 consecutive period of rising power prices.

　　The industry worried, coal prices all the way up, whether it will shake the coal enterprises to capacity determination. In this regard, the national development and Reform Commission spokesman Zhao Chenxin stressed that the completion of the production capacity is the first task, the price rise is also subject to the capacity to go.

Means that some of the advanced production capacity will be allowed to be properly released, but the adjusted annual output still can not exceed 276 working days approved production capacity.

　　In this regard, China's Energy Policy Research Institute of Xiamen University Lin Boqiang believes that the implementation of 276 days to control the production needs of a process.
