Shuozhou Targets Stable Coal Output of Around 200 Million Tonnes in 2026

As a typical resource-based city, the coal and power sector remains the
cornerstone of Shuozhou’s economy. In 2026, the city will maintain annual coal
production at around 200 million tonnes, while accelerating the shift toward
intelligent, green, and safe mining. Plans are in place to complete smart
upgrades for six coal mines.
A landmark project underpinning this transition—the China Coal Pingshuo coal-
based olefin new materials and downstream deep-processing integrated project,
with a total investment of nearly RMB 30 billion—is set to enter the full-
scale construction phase. The project will establish a comprehensive modern
coal chemical value chain in Shuozhou, extending from raw coal to high-value
materials, and is expected to drive the sector’s dual upgrade from low-end to
high-end products and from fuel to advanced materials.
At the same time, Shuozhou is seizing opportunities in renewable energy
development to build a new-type power system. In 2026, the city will accelerate
construction of the Huaneng Shuozhou integrated coal-power and renewable energy
base, including the Shanyin 2×1 GW coal-fired power project. It will also
expand green power capacity, advancing the launch of 24 new energy projects
such as the China Coal Pingshuo 600 MW off-grid hydrogen production project and
the Shuozhou Economic Development Zone green power industrial park, while
ensuring the completion and grid connection of 13 projects, including the 100
MW Phase IV Gaojiayan wind power project in Pinglu.
