en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 3, the Energy Bureau of Guizhou Province, China, released the "Public Notice on the Proposed Allocation of Subsidy Funds for the First Batch of 2026 Coal Mine Intelligent Construction Projects," planning to disburse subsidies in batches for eligible projects such as intelligent coal mining faces, intelligent tunneling faces, advanced intelligent coal mines, and intelligent gas drilling construction systems. According to the "Notice on Several Subsidy Policies to Support the High-Quality Development of the Modern Energy Industry" (Qian Neng Yuan Fa [2026] No. 2) and the "Management Measures for Special Funds for Energy Safety Production and Supply Guarantee in Guizhou Province" (Qian Cai Gong [2026] No. 1), each intelligent coal mining face will receive a subsidy of 2 million yuan, each intelligent tunneling face achieving remote centralized control will receive a subsidy of 1 million yuan, each advanced intelligent coal mine will be rewarded with 3 million yuan, and intelligent gas drilling construction systems will be subsidized at up to 30% of the total project investment, with a maximum of 2 million yuan. The public notice period is from June 3 to June 5, 2026.

The Energy Bureau of Guizhou Province is a government functional department responsible for the management of the energy industry within the province, including coal, electricity, oil, and natural gas. Its main responsibilities include energy development planning, industrial policy formulation, safety production supervision, and special fund management. In 2025, the production capacity of coal mines in production and joint trial operation across the province reached 216 million tons per year, an increase of 33.3% compared to 2020; dispatched raw coal output exceeded 183 million tons, an increase of 48% compared to 2020. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Intelligent Construction of Coal Mines in Guizhou Province (2024-2026)," by 2026, all production coal mines in the province will achieve the routine operation and maintenance of intelligent auxiliary systems.

Guizhou Province ranks among the top in southern China in terms of coal resource reserves, with a large number of coal mines of varying scales. In recent years, the province has actively promoted the "Rich Ore Precision Mining" strategy, with intelligent transformation as one of the core paths for industrial upgrading. The Qinglong Coal Mine in Qianxi City has established the first "5G+" intelligent coal mine demonstration base in Guizhou Province, covering the entire production area with a 10,000-megabit industrial ring network and over 30 5G base stations, forming an "intelligent high-speed" network above and below ground, saving over 16 million yuan in production costs annually. Raw coal output in Jinsha County rose from 16.76 million tons in 2021 to 31.6 million tons in 2025, with an average annual growth rate exceeding 20%. The aforementioned subsidy funds come from the "Special Funds for Energy Safety Production and Supply Guarantee" arranged in the provincial fiscal budget, managed by the Provincial Energy Bureau in conjunction with the Provincial Department of Finance, primarily used to guide enterprises to increase investment in safety production, enhance coal mine safety assurance capabilities, and promote the high-quality development of the energy industry.

The public notice of these subsidy funds represents a specific measure by Guizhou Province to implement the strategic adjustment of the coal industry structure and promote large-scale intelligent development. It aims to leverage the guiding role of fiscal funds to encourage coal mining enterprises to accelerate the deployment of intelligent mining and tunneling systems and the construction of advanced intelligent coal mines, steadily improving coal mine safety assurance and production supply capabilities.
