In the recent past, the country's multi-land temperature has fallen and the regions of the north have begun to heat up and are entering a critical phase of winter energy conservation. All kinds of energy, such as coal, gas, electricity, etc., have been put in place to provide a guaranteed “package box” to ensure an adequate supply of energy for the winter and to ensure that the population warms the winter。
Recently, the national development and reform commission organized a videoconference on energy conservation for the heating season 2025-2026. The meeting called for the stabilization of energy production and supply, securing compliance with medium- and long-term contracts for energy, making every effort to secure energy during peak periods, with a focus on securing heating energy for people, raising the level of response to disasters such as low-temperature snow and ice, and ensuring safe production。
Coal is a “barrel stone” for securing a secure and stable supply of energy, and its critical role has become more prominent in the peaking winter “takers”. As things stand, the coal supply base is solid this year during the peak winter.” according to the relevant head of the national energy agency, the national production of 3. 57 billion tons of coal was scheduled for january-september, an increase of 2 per cent over the same period. Since october, the national average daily coal production has remained at a high level of more than 12 million tons. On 29 october, 220 million tons of coal were stored at the national power plant, which could be used for 35 days。
As the main source of electricity generation, coal power plays a bottom-preservation role during peaking winters, with multiple coal enterprises continuously optimizing production, accelerating the trans-shipment of coal and ensuring that coal production is steady and sufficient。
In shaanxi elm, on the large screen of a production command centre of a coal mine company, data on the environment of the mine, the state of operation of the equipment and the location of the coal machine are updated in real time; in the mine area, the coal miner is circumcised with precision and instructions, and intelligent robots travel through and out, and the safety of the equipment is accurately checked. “it took about half an hour to extract one piece of coal in the past, and after a digital transformation, automatic coal mining could take up to 10 metres per minute, and one cut could take only 40 and 50 minutes.” according to the responsible officials, the digital transformation has significantly increased the efficiency of coal production, achieving 60,000 tons of japanese coal. The enterprise is currently stepping up its deployment of steady production for the task of securing a peaking winter coal supply。
While coal production is adequate and transportable efficiently, oil and gas companies are increasing their production and supply levels, increasing their natural gas reserves and peaks and preparing for peak winters。
In tianjin, a receiving station for a petrochemical gas company completed the unloading of two lng (liquefied natural gas) transport vessels, two of which together carried 166,000 tons of lng, to meet the one-month heating needs of more than 16 million families in the kyinzu region. It is understood that since november, the receiving station has accumulated more than 100 million cubic metres of external gas and has transported about 1,500 vehicles outside the trough, creating a “two-way supply” pattern of pipelines and liquid transport to ensure safe and smooth transport of the lng required for heating。
“this year's heating season, the total supply of natural gas and peak gas are generally guaranteed.” according to the relevant head of the national energy agency, domestic production will be more than 100 billion more for nine years in a steady increase in production, a steady increase in gas from the land-based import pipeline, a steady increase in the supply capacity of gas reserves and peaks, and improvements in the production and distribution system。
Traditional energy supplies are secure, and clean energy also injects more green kinetic energy into winter energy conservation。
In shandong, clean energy heating promotion has been carried out in a number of areas, with the gradual use of electricity as an alternative to dispersed coal heating. In penang county, penyi city, a community has installed air-borne heat pump electric heating equipment to replace traditional local firewood and coal heating. “electro-heating is now used, the home is very warm, and the electricity sector regularly comes to the house for maintenance and repair of heating equipment. Ms. Lee, resident. More than 22,000 clean heating users of “electrical coal” are known to have been promoted in penang county, involving 539 transformers, leading to a significant increase in heating loads during winter。
The federation expects an overall balance of electricity supply and demand throughout the country during the peak winter year, a tight supply of and demand for electricity at peaks in local areas and a tight balance between north and east china grid regions。
“strengthen the synergy of the chain of the supply network, with determination to maintain safety of the large grid and the bottom lines of the population.” the relevant head of the national energy agency indicated that the national energy agency would focus on such risk challenges as extreme cold tides and snow and ice freezes, assess in advance the difficulties that might be encountered in peaking winter energy and electricity conservation, focus on organizing winter situation studies in priority areas, and “one-size-fits-all” would guide energy and electricity conservation efforts in priority areas.
