Coal is the main energy source for thermal power generation enterprises, and the stability of its supply chain and cost management directly affect the production efficiency and profit level of enterprises. This paper studies the cost optimization and risk management in the coal supply chain of thermal power generation enterprises, and proposes a refined management scheme based on each link of the supply chain. By analyzing the procurement, transportation, storage and other links in the coal supply chain, this paper discusses how to achieve cost optimization by means of improving supply chain transparency, reducing procurement costs, optimizing transportation modes, and enhancing inventory management efficiency. The study also combines factors such as coal price fluctuations and policy risks to propose strategies for addressing supply chain risks. The implementation of systematic supply chain cost optimization and risk management helps to enhance the market competitiveness of thermal power generation enterprises.
