On November 2, China Shenhua’s Xinjiang Energy fully launched its winter relief coal donation program. A total of 10,751 tonnes of high-quality coal was delivered in batches to 95 paired assistance villages in southern Xinjiang, providing a concrete livelihood safeguard for residents’ winter heating.
As an energy company deeply engaged in frontline assistance in southern Xinjiang, Xinjiang Energy has, since launching village-stationed assistance in 2014, consistently treated winter heating for people of all ethnic groups as a key livelihood assistance task. It has taken on social responsibilities in energy supply security, rural assistance, and people’s wellbeing services.
In response to persistently low temperatures, weak self-supply capacity among some farming households, and heavy pressure on winter heating, the Company acted quickly and planned ahead. Together with 10 units that dispatched village-based cadres, it conducted door-to-door visits to fully assess the heating situation and coal shortages in 95 key paired-up assistance villages. It established a demand ledger featuring village-specific files and household-tailored support plans, refined distribution plans, and implemented need-based allocation and volume-based delivery to ensure targeted assistance reached those in need. At the same time, the Company coordinated internal high-quality coal resources and worked with the Kashgar coal storage base and professional transport teams to open a green channle for winter heating supply security. This connected the entire process of coal allocation, transportation, and delivery, enabling high-quality raw coal to be delivered directly from storage yards to rural households. It effectively addressed grassroots residents’ difficulties purchasing coal, long-distance coal transport and household heating. By maintaining a steady supply of heating coal to keep people of all ethnic groups warm through the winter, the Company fulfilled its social responsibilities through concrete action.
