Beijing winter coal savings promotion debut

Yesterday, 36 coal sales outlets in Beijing started to cut prices to promote winter storage of coal. Although the price reduction period has been shortened by a week, the number of coal-burning residents in urban areas has decreased a lot this year. The coal shop was slightly deserted yesterday.

Yesterday was the first day of winter storage coal price reductions. Early in the morning, the reporter came to the Bifeng Temple coal shop near the Drum Tower, but did not see the hot buying scene. The operating window of the coal shop started operating at 8 o'clock. It was not until 9 o'clock in the morning that residents had come to buy coal, and many people were not in a hurry to send the coal workers to their homes.

In the Gulou area last year, there are still 1,000 residents who burn coal from coal mines. This year, with the change of “coal to gas” and “coal to electricity,” there may be only more than 600 households, and the amount of coal consumed is indeed much lower. In addition to the declining demand of local residents, with the demolition of the urban-rural fringe, there are fewer and fewer people who buy coal in the urban areas. The interaction between the two has made the winter storage coal sales seem to be deserted.

In addition, this year, a coal truck is still charged according to different fares. The labor price has not changed since last year. Coupled with the decline in the demand for civil coal, the number of coal feeders in coal yards has also decreased year by year. "Last five or six coal workers were left in the coal yard last year. This year's personnel have not yet reached the end of the line and it is estimated that it will be less than last year." The duty officer of Bifeng Temple Coal Shop introduced. Yesterday, on the 15th of this month, during the pre-sale of winter coal, the price of civilian briquette was reduced from 1.2 yuan to 1.15 yuan each, while the price of briquette in each of the same period last year dropped from 0.95 yuan to 0.9 yuan, compared to a rise in each piece of honeycomb coal. 0.25 yuan.
