The May 2026 report 'Boom and Bust' by Global Energy Monitor analyzes the global coal power portfolio, highlighting a growing divergence between the installation of new coal capacity and actual electricity generation. While global capacity increased by 3.5% in 2025, generation fell by 0.6%, with coal increasingly serving as a backup rather than a primary energy source. The report details regional trends, noting that new construction is heavily concentrated in China and India, while other regions face stagnation or decline due to financing constraints and energy transitions.

  • In 2025, there was a widening gap between global coal capacity and actual generation; while installed capacity grew by 3.5%, actual output decreased by 0.6%.
  • China and India experienced the sharpest declines in coal generation despite record-breaking additions of new capacity, as wind and solar energy met most or all of the increased demand.
  • The geographical concentration of new coal projects is increasing, with only 32 countries proposing or building new plants in 2025, compared to 38 in 2024 and 75 in 2014. Only 5% of global construction occurs outside of China and India.
  • A significant number of planned coal plant retirements were delayed in 2025, with nearly 70% of scheduled closures globally not occurring, including 69% in the EU and 59% in the US, often cited as necessary for energy security.
  • Russia's new coal capacity proposals dropped sharply to 65 MW in 2025, representing only 0.04% of global new proposals, driven by sanctions, high transport costs, and weakening global demand.
  • Kazakhstan is pursuing a strategy of expanding coal capacity to support energy security while aiming for carbon neutrality by 2060, planning to invest over $17 billion in coal generation by 2030.
  • Mongolia saw the highest number of cancelled coal projects globally in 2025, accounting for 24% of all world cancellations, primarily due to the collapse of the 5.28 GW Shivee-Ovoo export project.
  • Coal projects in Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan have largely frozen due to a tighter international financing environment, specifically following China's 2021 commitment to stop funding new overseas coal plants.
