In a move that reflects Beijing's balancing act between energy security and the green transition, China unveiled its five-year energy plan that does not restrict coal power growth and targets a 30% share of clean energy in electricity generation by 2031, according to reports. Authorities aim to ensure grid stability amid the expansion of intermittent renewables, cementing coal's role as a bottom-line guarantee.
The plan reinforces coal's role as a bottom-line guarantee, supporting expectations of steady demand. Shares of Chinese coal companies closed cautiously higher, with China Shenhua Energy (1088.HK) at HK$40.62 on June 26, 2026, and Yankuang Energy (1171.HK) at HK$11.68 on June 25, 2026, per market data. The policy follows stable loan prime rates in China at 3%, providing a stable economic backdrop for implementation.
