Sichuan Coal Industry Group, the province's largest coal miner, has more than doubled its thermal coal production to nearly 15,000 tonnes per day since mid-August, according to government-owned Sichuan Daily earlier this week.
Sichuan Guang'an Power Generation, the region's biggest coal-fired power plant, has also boosted its electricity generation by 170% this month, compared with the same period last year, according to an article posted Tuesday on the Sichuan government website. The power plant expects August's electricity output to jump 313% from a year earlier.
On Friday, the province also opened its first national coal reserve in Guang'an city. When full, it will be able to supply six million metric tons per year.
