#0183;#32;Government officials and stateowned energy enterprises in China are currently debating another wave of coal power investment, despite a severely diminished business case for the technology. These companies that own and operate Chinas coal fleet are already facing financial losses, thanks to increasing competition from renewables, market reforms and overcapacity in the sector.
#0183;#32;China will also close obsolete coalfired power capacity that has reached the end of its design life, as well as larger coal plants of up to 100,000 kW in areas covered by large power grids
China plans to add coal storage facilities across its power plants in 2020 to ensure stockpiles at or above 15 days normal supply for coaldriven power plants. A coal worker watches as a conveyor loads coal onto a trailer truck at a coal mine near Ordos in northern Chinas
In its review of the governments fiveyearplan, China Electricity Council (CEC) the influential industry body representing Chinas power industry recommended adopting a cap for coal power capacity by 2030 but the 1300GW limit proposed is 290GW higher than current capacity.
China built more than half of the world''s new coalfired power plants this year and accounted for 90% of new planned capacity, a study showed on Monday, with Beijing still commissioning new

China Electric Power Planning and Engineering Institute (EPPEI), the authoritative consultancy that has designed most of Chinas coal power units and grid infrastructure, warned in June 2019 that 16 provinces in the country should increase new capacity and start working on a new batch of thermal power plants to avoid the possibility of shortages in the next two to three years.

#0183;#32;Chinas growing appetite for new coalfired power stations has outstripped plant closures in the rest of the world since the start of last year, data shows.

China also said it would cap total coalfired power capacity at 1,100 GW in 2020, but that would still allow it to build an estimated 60 GW of new plants this year.
#0183;#32;China, though it has canceled some planned thermal power plants over the past several years, has as much as 200 GW of coalfired facilities in its development pipeline, according to
pulverizer/mill system One of the critical power plant components that is relied upon to convert the energy stored in coal into electricity is the coal pulverizer or mill. The coal flow is controlled by the feeder, allowing coal to flow into the pulverizer mill. The pulverized coal and air mixture is then transport to the boiler burner panels.
