China’s coal shortage eases after Beijing steps in, report says
China’s coal shortage is easing thanks to new government policies, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia said in a note Tuesday. According to the report, the number of Chinese provinces with significant power shortages fell to two in mid-October — down from 18 at the start of the month. The bank said that’s based on a shortfall in supply versus demand of more than 10%. “The number of coal power plants with dangerously low coal stockpiles (less than 7 days) has also decreased by 90% in the same time frame,” the analysts said.
