China’s coal output is expected to increase 36 million metric tons, or 0.8%, to about 4.7 billion tonnes in 2024, a Chinese coal industry group said on Wednesday, slower than last year’s 2.9% growth.

Feng pointed to government orders to suspend infrastructure projects in some heavily indebted provinces as one of the key reasons for the pressure on prices. “A large portion of forecasting institutions believe that hydropower generation will see clear improvement this year,” Feng said, adding that higher solar and wind installations could help address about 70% of the expected growth in power demand.
