12月6日，Issued by the National Development and Reform CommissionImplementation Opinions on the Establishment of Coal Mine Capacity Reserve System (Draft for Comment), hereinafter referred to as the Draft。

Proposed therein，By 2027, a coal mine capacity reserve system will be initially established, a number of coal mine capacity reserve projects will be approved in an orderly manner, and a certain scale of dispatchable coal capacity reserve will be formed；The coal mine declared for the construction of reserve capacity should be a new coal mine project under construction approved by the state, with a design capacity of not less than 3 million tons/year, and the scale of coal mine reserve capacity is divided into 20%, 25% and 30% according to the proportion of coal mine design capacity。

The "draft" clearly states that coal mines with capacity reserves must strictly fulfill the responsibility of ensuring coal supply and stable prices, sign long-term contracts for power coal in accordance with relevant requirements, and implement the relevant state price policies。The commodity coal produced by the release of reserve production capacity in coal mines has priority to accept unified national dispatch, and will no longer undertake the task of local medium - and long-term contract signing。

The draft requires that for coal mines with capacity reserves, where new coal mines build reserve capacity according to 20%, 25%, and 30% of their designed capacity, 60%, 80%, and 100% of their new capacity (including conventional capacity and reserve capacity) are exempt from capacity replacement。The capacity replacement plan that has been reviewed and confirmed (including coal mines under construction), 60%, 80% and 100% of the total capacity replacement index can be used separately, and the index is no longer converted。

The "draft opinions" proposed that the implementation of new coal production capacity indicators listed separately。For coal mines with capacity reserves, the scale of capacity reserves does not occupy the new capacity indicators of the provinces and regions where the national coal development plan determines。

Implementation Opinions on the Establishment of Coal Mine Capacity Reserve System (Draft for Comment)

In order to thoroughly implement the CPC Central Committee,The State CouncilRegarding the decision-making and deployment of promoting the supply guarantee of primary products and price stability, establishing and improving the coal mine capacity reserve system, ensuring the stable supply of coal, and consolidating the foundation of energy security, the following implementation opinions are hereby formulated。

I. General requirements

Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era，We will fully implement the guiding principles of the Party's 20th National Congress，Adhere to the general principle of seeking progress while maintaining stability，Implement the new development concept in a complete, accurate and comprehensive manner，We will accelerate the building of a new pattern of development，We will strive to promote high-quality development，Balance development and security，We will deepen structural reform of the coal supply side，We will innovate the coal capacity reserve management mechanism，Establish and improve the coal mine production capacity reserve system，We will promote the coal production capacity to maintain a reasonable margin and sufficient flexibility，We will enhance our ability to ensure supply，We will give better play to the role of coal in ensuring energy supply，It will provide strong support for comprehensively promoting China's development and national rejuvenation through Chinese-style modernization。

By 2027, a coal mine capacity reserve system will be initially established, a number of coal mine capacity reserve projects will be approved in an orderly manner, and a certain scale of dispatchable coal capacity reserve will be formed。By 2030, the production capacity reserve system will be more sound, the production capacity management system will be more perfect, and we will strive to form 300 million tons/year of schedulable production capacity reserve, the national coal supply security capacity will be significantly enhanced, and the supply elasticity and resilience will continue to improve。

Second, production capacity reserve coal mine construction work rules

The design capacity of coal mine is composed of two parts: conventional capacity and reserve capacity。Conventional production capacity refers to the normal production capacity of coal mines under non-emergency conditions, which is independently organized by enterprises according to market conditions and is not included in the unified national scheduling scope。Reserve capacity refers to the capacity reserved on the basis of conventional production capacity of a moderate scale for peak regulation. Under emergency conditions, it is released synchronously according to national unified scheduling and conventional production capacity to achieve "upward flexible production" in coal mines.。The sum of conventional capacity and reserve capacity of coal mine is designed capacity。In the construction process of capacity reserve coal mine, it shall be organized and implemented in accordance with the following requirements:

(1) Planning stage。In the coal mining area general planning preparation (revision) work，The general planning department of coal mining area shall organize the careful study of the planned new and under construction coal mine projects in the coal mining area，Demonstrate whether the project has the conditions for the construction of reserve capacity，Where conditions exist, the reserve capacity should be defined to specific projects，Scientifically and reasonably determine the scale of planning and construction of individual coal mines。In principle, coal mines with capacity reserve shall be built and put into operation at one time according to the designed capacity。The project unit shall conduct an in-depth study on the feasibility of the construction of the capacity reserve coal mine to ensure that the economy is reasonable, safe and controllable。Mining area transport infrastructure should fully consider the release of reserve capacity。

(2) Approval stage。The new coal mine project to be built with reserve capacity shall handle the land pre-examination and planning site selection opinion, social stability risk assessment report according to the design capacity。When preparing the project application report, the production plan of reserve capacity construction should be deeply analyzed。Coal mine projects under construction can build reserve capacity on the basis of existing approved capacity, or can apply for the construction of reserve capacity after adjusting the construction scale according to relevant policy requirements, and shall go through the approval and change procedures in accordance with relevant provisions。

(3) Construction phase。Production capacity reserve coal mines shall, on the premise of meeting the requirements of the overall planning of the mining area and the planning environmental assessment, handle various procedures such as mining, land use, forest use, grass use, environmental assessment, water intake permit, soil and water conservation, and safety production in accordance with the designed production capacity in accordance with the law and regulations, so as to create conditions for the legal release of the reserve production capacity。Coal mine production, transportation, ventilation, drainage, mechanical and electrical systems and related equipment should be built and equipped in accordance with the design capacity, to ensure that the emergency state can effectively release the reserve capacity。Capacity reserve coal mine mainly through enhancing mining (stripping) capacity, improve the degree of advance of the working face to form a reserve capacity, not by increasing the way of working face。

(4) Acceptance stage。After the project enters the joint trial operation, trial production shall be organized according to the designed capacity and the conventional capacity respectively. Within the specified joint trial operation period, the project unit may independently determine the time of trial production according to the actual conditions of the coal mine。When the project unit organizes the completion acceptance, it is necessary to clarify the construction of capacity reserve in the completion acceptance report, the provincial coal industry management department should strengthen the supervision of project completion acceptance activities, and the reserve capacity construction does not meet the approval requirements, shall order the project unit to make rectification, and can be completed and put into operation after meeting the requirements。

(5) Production stage。Production capacity reserve Coal mines should improve the "leveling and urgent conversion" mechanism, study and formulate work plans for organizing production according to conventional production capacity and designed production capacity, rationally arrange production organization, maintain stable production order, and give full play to the role of production capacity reserve。Daily personnel should be reasonably equipped and scientific arrangements for mining (stripping) continuation, and emergency production preparations should be made in advance。In the emergency state, resolutely obey the unified national dispatch, quickly release the reserve capacity, and ensure that the production is available, quickly adjusted, and useful。

Iii. Management procedures for capacity reserve coal mines

(1) Declaration conditions。The coal mine declared for the construction of reserve capacity should be a new coal mine project under construction approved by the state, with a design capacity of not less than 3 million tons/year, and the scale of coal mine reserve capacity is divided into 20%, 25% and 30% according to the proportion of coal mine design capacity。The mining area where the declared reserve production capacity coal mine is located has convenient transport conditions and sufficient transport capacity configuration, and is a large-scale modern open-pit coal mine or a mining mine with a high degree of safety guarantee in the five major coal supply guarantee bases, and coal products are mainly used to ensure power generation and heating and people's energy needs。

(2) Declaration process。National Energy AdministrationThe relevant administrative departments of the coal industry in coal-producing provinces and regions shall, together with the development and reform departments at the same level (or the competent coal investment departments designated by the provincial governments), organize the coal enterprises in the provinces and regions (including central enterprises) to declare。Coal enterprises in combination with resource conditions, mining technology, external transportation conditions and other actual conditions to prepare capacity reserve construction plans and submit applications, the relevant coal-producing provinces and regions of the coal industry management department together with the development and reform department at the same level (or the provincial government designated coal investment authorities) for preliminary examination, will meet the conditions of the coal mine reportNational Energy Administration。

(3) Confirmation procedures。National Energy AdministrationThe relevant evaluation institutions will be entrusted to organize experts to select the coal mine projects declared to build reserve capacity, and determine the list of qualified coal mines and the scale of capacity reserve construction together with relevant departments。New coal mines and coal mines under construction are required to go through project approval or approval change procedures。

(4) Trigger mechanism。When the coal supply and demand situation is generally balanced, the production capacity reserve coal mine will be organized according to the conventional production capacity after being put into operation。When the supply and demand situation shifts from general equilibrium to tension,National Development and Reform Commission、National Energy AdministrationAccording to whether the spot price of coal market exceeds the reasonable range，According to different situations, we will implement unified scheduling of reserve capacity，Determine the emergency release area of the reserve capacity, production scheduling scale, supply guarantee objectives, etc，Guide the coal mines included in the reserve capacity to "upward flexible production" according to the design capacity in stages under the premise of ensuring safety。

(5) Signing of medium and long-term contracts。Coal mines with capacity reserves shall strictly fulfill the responsibility of ensuring supply and stable price of coal, sign medium - and long-term contracts for thermal coal in accordance with relevant requirements, and implement the relevant pricing policies of the State。The commodity coal produced by the release of reserve production capacity in coal mines has priority to accept unified national dispatch, and will no longer undertake the task of local medium - and long-term contract signing。

4. Supporting policies

(1) Preferential policies for capacity replacement。For coal mines with capacity reserves, where new coal mines build reserve capacity according to 20%, 25% and 30% of their designed capacity, 60%, 80% and 100% of their new capacity (including conventional capacity and reserve capacity) are exempt from capacity replacement。The capacity replacement plan that has been reviewed and confirmed (including coal mines under construction), 60%, 80% and 100% of the total capacity replacement index can be used separately, and the index is no longer converted。

(2) Optimize and adjust the overall planning of mining areas and planning environmental assessment requirements。Production capacity reserve coal mines shall go through the relevant procedures for approval in strict accordance with the approved mining area master plan and planning environmental assessment。When the reserves of resources and mining conditions change greatly，On the premise of meeting the requirements of service life，The design capacity can float 1~3 design differences on the basis of the overall planning of coal mining areas，In principle, the maximum increase should be less than 30% of the planned construction scale，And there will be no major adjustment of the planning as stipulated in the Environmental Impact Assessment (2020) 63 document。The above optimization adjustment is not a major adjustment of the overall planning of coal mining areas, and a local adjustment plan can be prepared and submitted to the original planning examination and approval authority for approval。

(3) Implementing a separate list of targets for new coal production capacity。For coal mines with capacity reserves, the scale of capacity reserves does not occupy the new capacity indicators of the provinces and regions where the national coal development plan determines。

V. Safeguard measures

1. Strengthen organizational leadership。Establish a working mechanism for coal mine production capacity reserve management, further clarify the division of functions, refine work measures, do a solid job in the national coal mine production capacity reserve management, and dynamically adjust the policy according to the implementation situation in the later stage。The relevant administrative departments of the coal industry in coal-producing provinces and regions shall, together with the development and reform departments at the same level (or the competent coal investment departments designated by the provincial governments), guide the enterprises under their jurisdiction to do a good job in the declaration of capacity reserves。

(2) Responsibility for compaction work。The provincial coal industry management department should fulfill the responsibility of supervision and management, strengthen the daily supervision of the capacity reserve coal mine in the jurisdiction, establish a working account by mine, schedule and grasp the production situation of the capacity reserve coal mine in the non-emergency and emergency two states, and ensure that the relevant information is true and accurate。Provincial coal industry management departments dispatch and grasp the production capacity reserve coal mine account information, submitted to monthlyNational Development and Reform Commission、National Energy Administration汇总。Provincial coal industry management, coal mine safety supervision and other departments in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the state, strengthen the supervision of super ability organization production。

3. Strengthen oversight and inspection。National Energy AdministrationIt will work with relevant departments to supervise and inspect the national coal mine production capacity reserves in a timely manner, and promptly interview coal mine enterprises that do not obey the unified dispatch and order rectification within a time limit。Illegal acts such as non-compliance with the requirements of construction and production organization with super capacity shall be punished in accordance with relevant laws and regulations。
