China's power coal stockpiles have stopped shrinking and started
to rally steadily as a result of heightened output and rush railway
transport, Xinhua learned Tuesday from the State Electricity
Regulatory Commission.
Domestic power coal reserve has reached 24.06 million tons by
Sunday, a rise of 2.99 million tons from the lowest record on
January 28, said Tan Rongyao, supervisor with the State Electricity
Regulatory Commission.
Forty of 50 cities and counties in southwestern Guizhou Province
that have been cut off power for days have fully or partly regained
access to electricity.
Transmission wires paralyzed by blizzard and accompanying freeze
in the worst-hit Hunan and Jiangxi provinces have restored 53
percent and 60 percent of their normal electrical load, he
said.
