China reassures public of ‘balanced’ coal supply for winter as provinces cut back power to factories | South China Morning Post

A lot of places are out of electricity right now, people are suffering. Is it the backfire of the ban of Australian coal? Or is it just the regularity of power capacity? Idk.

A list of summary info:

1. Domestic coal industry price is soaring, while the global industry is declining. Some Australian coal cargo ships are floating on the sea.
2. Some places in Zhejiang and Hunan are shot of power, some kind of usage curbs are imposed. There are even places out of Nature Gas.
3. Govt says it's a regularity of electricity quota limitation, plus a tighter control of environment protection.
