The world’s top coal producer churned out 333.35 million tonnes of coal in June, up 6.7% from May and up 10.4% year-on-year, data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed. Summer is typically a high season for electricity demand in China due to increasing use of air conditioners in hot weather. China generated 583.4 billion kilowatt-hours of power in June, up 2.8% year-on-year, the data showed, with coal-fired power generation rising 0.1% from a year ago after two months of year-on-year declines.
