Nine counties (cities and districts) including Yaodu District, Hongdong County, Huozhou City, Yicheng County, Fushan County, Guxian County, Fenxi County, Puxian County and Xiangning County, which have completed the transformation of clean heating and met the normal use conditions, will be designated as prohibited coal zones according to law to crack down on illegal sales of bulk coal, consolidate the effectiveness of bulk coal control, and strictly prevent users who have completed the transformation of clean heating from re-burning. Combining with the actual situation, we should expand the scope of high-pollution fuel no-combustion zones, increase the supply of clean coal in "no-combustion zones", strengthen the sampling inspection of coal quality, dispose of unqualified coal products according to law, and strengthen the supervision of civil bulk coal quality in areas not covered by clean heating. Promote Yicheng County, Fushan County, Guxian County, Fenxi County, Puxian County, Xiangning County, Anze County, Xixian County, Jixian County, Daning County, Yonghe County and other counties to speed up the construction of clean heating power infrastructure, and lay a good foundation for further promoting "coal to electricity" and bulk coal clearance. Complete the construction of green energy transmission and distribution project pipeline network and heat exchange station on schedule, eliminate coal-fired boilers and bulk coal within the coverage of the pipeline network in accordance with relevant national and provincial regulations, and realize clean heating for residents along the line. Strictly control the total coal consumption, and complete the annual total coal consumption control target by the end of December. Strengthen the supply of gas and electricity for residential heating to ensure the use of residential heating. We will continue to promote clean energy substitution for bulk coal in agricultural production, such as tobacco baking, agricultural greenhouse planting, edible fungi processing, drying of traditional Chinese medicines, livestock and poultry breeding, and so on.
