Inner Mongolia coal production expected to exceed 1.2 Bt in 2022 www.sxcoal.com
Inner Mongolia, one of China's major energy bases, is expected to produce 1.2 billion tonnes of coal in 2022, according to an official with the local energy bureau.
The region is the second largest coal producing base in China only after neighboring Shanxi. National statistics showed that Inner Mongolia's coal output totaled 1.07 billion tonnes in the first 11 months, up 12.1% from the year earlier, accounting for 26% of the country's total over the period.
The region's full-year production is likely to account for one fourth of China's total, and more than 60% of production would be delivered outside to 25 provinces. Both production and outbound deliveries would maintain double-digit growths and hit new highs of all time, said Wang Jinbao, leader of the region's energy bureau.
In 2022, the region has undertaken to deliver 945 million tonnes of coal to power plants via medium- and long-term contracts, accounting for 36% of the national contract supplies, Wang said. The quantity topped the country and made Inner Mongolia as the key supporter for the country's energy security.
Meanwhile, Inner Mongolia is the key power producer in China. As of the end of 2022, the region had 173 GW of installed power generation capacity, including 107.84 GW of coal-based capacity and 65 GW of renewables.
After integrating 9.64 GW of capacity into the grid this year, Inner Mongolia has become the fourth in China to have coal-based capacity exceeding 100 GW, after Shandong, Guangdong and Jiangsu.
The region's power generation rose 7.8% on the year to 646.5 TWh in 2022. In the case of its own supply tension and surged fuel cost, it still managed to maintain a 7% rise in outbound transmissions to 264 TWh, which the highest in the country for 18 years in a row. The power is delivered to the north and east of China and as well as neighboring Mongolia.
The region also pays high attention to development of the renewable sector. It has poured 130 billion yuan to the sector in 2022, more than five times the size of 2021. Its renewable capacity, 65 GW, accounted for 38.3% of the region's power mix, with the proportion up by 3 percentage points from the year ago.
The region's wind capacity ranks second in the country and is on track to get the first place soon as the nation has planned to build four wind & solar bases in the region over the 14th Five-Year period.
