Low coal reserves

CHINA yesterday said coal reserves at some power plants had fallen to danger levels, and pledged to increase coal shipments to power plants to ensure adequate electricity supply during winter.

"Although coal shipments to power plants have increased since early this month, reserves in the key 349 power plants have dropped to less than 35 million tons now from 38 million tons in mid-November," the Ministry of Railway said in a statement.

"Reserves in some plants have dropped to the danger mark or even below it," it said.

The ministry vowed to put 2,614 more trains to use, bringing the total daily loading to 43,100 trains for the rest this month, and at least 45,000 trains on average for December.
