Increasing importing
There are about 46 fired coal power plants with total consumption annually about 77mil MTs. In which,
1 about 25 plants use domestic coal with total demand is 29mil MTs, 21 plants have to import with total

Coal import will increase very fast
Domestic source is too small for supplying for demand as demand for coal will increase very fast for
2 next years
Price of coal for electronic will be higher
