Shanxi will unswervingly cut overcapacity, develop advanced production capacity, take the road of green, low-carbon, clean and efficient development, and push forward the reform of coal mining and utilization, said Wang Qirui, secretary of the Party Committee and director general of Shanxi Energy Bureau. While closing down backward production capacity, we will vigorously develop high-quality production capacity. Solid progress was made in the capacity expansion of 26 high-yielding and high-efficiency mines, and China has approved 14 mines, with an expansion capacity of 28.9 million tons. So far, the advanced coal production capacity in Shanxi Province has accounted for 68%.
In terms of supply, from 2016 to 2018, 88 coal mines (excluding state-owned enterprises) were closed in Shanxi Province, with 88.41 million tons of production capacity cut, ranking first in the country. This year, the province weeded out 23.25 million tons of production capacity, one year ahead of 13th Five-Year Plan's schedule of cutting overcapacity. The proportion of advanced coal production capacity in the province reaches two thirds in advance in 2020.
