Fossil fuels, mainly coal, account for roughly 70% of China’s power generation mix. Electricity consumption for January to August grew 14% from a year earlier. But coal production climbed only 4%.
Due to the tight demand-supply balance, the price of thermal coal has apparently jumped more than 70% in the last three months.
And more than 60% of the 26 listed fossil fuel power companies have seen first-half profits fall short of year-earlier numbers. Nearly a fifth have reportedly slipped into the red.
China is home to more than 3,000 fossil fuel power plants with capacities of 100,000 kW or more. Earnings at most have deteriorated, and it appears that utilization rates have fallen.
