Datong Coal Mine Group Company, formerly known as Datong Mining Bureau, was established on August 30, 1949, and was restructured into Datong Coal Mine Group Co., Ltd. in July 2000. In December 2003, the Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government reorganized the coal production and marketing enterprises in the north of Shanxi Province according to the requirements of the modern enterprise system, and established the new Datong Coal Mine Group Limited Liability Company. After the implementation of debt-to-equity swap in December 2005, Datong Coal Mine Group Co., Ltd., which was jointly funded by seven shareholders, initially formed a group company spanning Datong, Shuozhou and Xinzhou, covering 39 counties and districts, with a coalfield area of 6,157 square kilometers and a total reserve of 89.2 billion tons. The company has total assets of 203 billion yuan, 73 pairs of mines and 800,000 employees' families. In 2012, the coal production and sales volume was 170 million tons, exceeding 100 million tons for eight consecutive years. At present, it has formed a super-large comprehensive energy group with coal as the main industry and electric power, chemical industry, metallurgy, machinery manufacturing and other industries simultaneously. The Jinbei coal base under construction is one of the 13 large coal bases planned by the state.
On December 28th, 2012, Shanxi Zhangze Electric Power and Tongmei Group made a major asset reorganization, and Tongmei Group became its controlling shareholder [9], actively implementing the reform of "coal-electricity integration" and the in-depth integration of coal and electricity. [1]
