从历史Q1二产与居民用电双低年份看今年夏季煤价？

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Positive" investment rating for the coal industry [9]. Core Insights - Historical analysis indicates that years with low industrial and residential electricity consumption, such as 2013 and 2015, resulted in a low power elasticity coefficient in Q1. The main reasons for this were weak industrial electricity demand and warmer weather. However, both years saw a recovery in electricity growth rates throughout the year, likely due to a significant recovery in residential electricity consumption [2][7]. - The report forecasts that while high coal inventories at ports will take time to deplete, short-term coal prices may still be in a bottoming process. However, with the backdrop of power plant restocking and increased daily consumption from late May to late June, coal prices are expected to stabilize or even rebound [2][7].
