It is necessary to strengthen daily monitoring and dispatching, and coordinate and solve outstanding problems in coal production and supply in a timely manner. It is necessary to strengthen the signing and performance of medium- and long-term contracts for the guaranteed supply of electricity and coal, and strive to improve the contract fulfillment rate. It is necessary to tap the province's potential to increase production and ensure supply, study and identify a number of emergency coal mines to ensure supply, and accelerate the release of advanced coal production capacity. It is necessary to further consolidate the responsibility of ensuring coal supply, give full play to the role of the main coal producing area, and make every effort to ensure the safe and stable supply of energy.
