According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in April, the production of raw coal, natural gas and electricity in China's above-scale industries accelerated, crude oil production remained stable, and crude oil processing volume increased rapidly. Natural gas imports have maintained rapid growth.

Raw coal production accelerated, coal imports fell significantly, prices fell

In April, raw coal production increased by 4.1% year-on-year, 2.8 percentage points faster than last month. From January to April, the output of raw coal was 1.10 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.8%.

In April, thermal power increased by 7.3%, the growth rate accelerated by 5.9 percentage points compared with the previous month; hydropower decreased by 2.6%, the decline narrowed by 2.7 percentage points; nuclear power increased by 6.5%, accelerated by 4.8 percentage points; wind power and solar power generation maintained double-digit growth. , increased by 22.6% and 26.4% respectively.

From the structure point of view, the proportion of thermal power and hydropower decreased, and the proportion of new energy power generation such as nuclear power, wind power and solar power generation increased. From January to April, the proportion of thermal power and hydropower decreased by 0.5 and 0.8 percentage points respectively over the same period of last year, and the proportion of new energy power generation increased by 1.3 percentage points.
