Reducing the total coal consumption is an important part of the battle to win the blue sky defense and pollution prevention, and a powerful means to optimize the industrial structure and energy structure. In order to support the completion of the "13th five year plan" coal reduction target task issued by the state, recently, Jiangsu Provincial Department of finance, together with the provincial development and Reform Commission, issued a coal reduction award and a supplementary fund of 400 million yuan to further promote the coal reduction work. It is reported that in 2017-2018, the coal reduction of the whole province exceeded the target set by the province. In order to ensure the completion of the "13th five year plan" coal reduction target task issued by the state, the provincial finance, together with the provincial development and Reform Commission, has studied and issued the "Jiangsu Province coal consumption reduction total amount award and supplement method", which will be awarded and supplemented in combination with the completion of coal reduction target tasks in various regions.
