In August 28th, the national development and Reform Commission "on the establishment of the lowest and the highest coal inventory inventory system guidance (Trial)" (hereinafter referred to as "guidance") and "the lowest and the highest coal inventory inventory system assessment methods (Trial)" (hereinafter referred to as "the evaluation method"), to the public for comments, time is August 28, 2017 to September 10th.
The "guiding opinions" pointed out that when the coal prices fell, pile up in excess of requirement, through the establishment of minimum inventory, guide coal production coal supply and demand parties, is conducive to promoting the balance of supply and demand; when the coal is in short supply, prices rise, through the establishment of the highest inventory, to prevent production for the parties especially the intermediate link of hoarding, exacerbated the market imbalance that caused the price fluctuations. Further play the role of good reservoirs and regulators will help promote the stability of coal prices in a reasonable range.
This requires the establishment and improvement of coal minimum inventory and maximum inventory system of enterprises, including coal production, operation and consumption enterprises. Among them, the coal storage capacity of coal mine surface production system in coal production enterprises should reach 3? 7 days of mine design production; engaged in coal washing, coal processing, coal blending and product distribution and other activities of the coal enterprises, the minimum stock principle of not less than 3 days a year on the daily sales volume, the highest inventory principle more than a year average monthly sales volume; related enterprise electric power, building materials, metallurgy, chemical industry and other key industries of coal consumption, the process of production of coal in principle should not be less than the minimum inventory of nearly three years of coal enterprise average, the highest inventory should not exceed twice the minimum inventory.
For the lowest inventory and the highest inventory has three kinds: when the market demand, prices rose sharply to the red zone, strengthen the coal production, management, consumption enterprises the highest inventory of the supervision and inspection, to prevent hoarding, exacerbated the tight supply situation. In the meantime, can not check the production and operation of enterprises in the lowest inventory, to encourage the parties to increase the allocation of resources to meet the market demand; when market prices fell sharply to pile up in excess of requirement, the Red areas, strengthen the coal production, management, consumption enterprises minimum inventory of the supervision and inspection, to prevent enterprises less coal even coal, affecting the safety of stable production. During the period, we can not check the highest inventory, encourage enterprises to save more coal, to promote market supply and demand balance; other cases are the lowest inventory and maximum inventory assessment.
In order to strengthen the supervision and assessment of the implementation of the minimum and maximum inventory of coal inventory system, "the evaluation method" mentioned, assessment work in accordance with clear objectives, responsibilities, measures in place of the general requirements, adhere to the guidance of the central and local, the implementation of classification, the principle of punishment.
"The evaluation method" in particular, abnormal fluctuations in the supply and demand of summer winter period or other key market, the national development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Bureau, China Federation of electric power enterprises, Chinese Coal Industry Association and other relevant departments and industry associations will organize inspections of coal inventory point area.
In the aspect of discipline, "the evaluation method" pointed out that within a year of inventory once the assessment of non-compliance, into the enterprise credit "grey list", focus on credit monitoring, the relevant departments should be responsible for the enterprises to conduct interviews; two times of non-compliance, for criticism; three times above the standard, into the enterprise credit "blacklist", related to the implementation of differential power prices of coal enterprises, and implement the reduction production according to the proportion, the power generation enterprise reduction plan, and give a certain limit in power trading.
