Lending tool for carbon reduction debuts
央行推出碳減排支持工具

The People's Bank of China, the nation's central bank, said on Monday it has rolled out a supporting tool for carbon reduction. The bank will provide low-cost loans to financial institutions through the carbon reduction supporting tool, and will guide those institutions to provide loans to firms in key carbon-reduction fields on the premise of independent decision-making and risk-taking. The interest rates provided by financial institutions should be basically in line with the benchmark lending rates, or the loan prime rates, it said. 
中國人民銀行11月8日宣布，推出碳減排支持工具。人民銀行將通過碳減排支持工具向金融機(jī)構(gòu)提供低成本資金，引導(dǎo)金融機(jī)構(gòu)在自主決策、自擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的前提下，向碳減排重點(diǎn)領(lǐng)域內(nèi)的各類企業(yè)提供碳減排貸款。貸款利率應(yīng)與同期限檔次貸款市場報(bào)價(jià)利率(LPR)大致持平。

The PBOC will adopt a "system for direct funds," which means financial institutions could apply for low-cost funding from the central bank after loans for carbon reductions are made. The PBOC will provide 60 percent of the loan principal made by financial institutions for carbon emission cuts, with a one-year lending rate of 1.75 percent. The central bank also requires those financial institutions to publicly disclose information on carbon-reduction loans and the emission cuts financed by such loans.
碳減排支持工具向金融機(jī)構(gòu)提供資金采取"先貸后借"的直達(dá)機(jī)制。人民銀行按貸款本金的60%向金融機(jī)構(gòu)提供碳減排貸款資金支持，利率為1.75%，期限1年。金融機(jī)構(gòu)向人民銀行申請?zhí)紲p排支持工具時(shí)，需提供碳減排項(xiàng)目相關(guān)貸款的碳減排數(shù)據(jù)，并承諾對(duì)公眾披露相關(guān)信息。

China's power supply back to normal
國家電網(wǎng)保供電取得階段性成效

The State Grid Corporation of China on Sunday said the supply and demand of power in areas operated by the company have returned to normal. The thermal coal inventory in the company's operating area has rebounded to 99.32 million tons, while the available days of consumption have risen to 20, the company said. The scale of power curbs and the electricity gap have been significantly reduced, it said, adding as of Saturday, the power supply to some factories with high energy consumption and high pollution in certain provinces was still limited. 
國家電網(wǎng)11月7日表示，截至11月6日，除個(gè)別省份、局部時(shí)段對(duì)高耗能、高污染企業(yè)采取有序用電措施外，其經(jīng)營區(qū)域電力供需形勢恢復(fù)常態(tài)。公司經(jīng)營區(qū)電煤庫存回升至9932萬噸，電煤可用天數(shù)回升至20天。有序用電規(guī)模明顯減少，電力缺口明顯縮小。

The grid will face an "overall tight balance of power with gaps in partial areas" this winter and coming spring as the country faces a power consumption peak and a drought season for hydroelectric power. State Grid will increase and stabilize the power supply by tapping the potential of all kinds of resources while closely tracking thermal coal and gas supply and coordinating power transmission across different regions to ensure safety of the grid, said Meng Haijun, spokesperson with the State Grid. The company will strive to ensure power supply for households, public services and key customers, Meng said.
