Küresel Kömürlü Termik Santral Takibi

The 'Boom and Bust 2026' report by Global Energy Monitor analyzes global coal power trends in 2025, highlighting a divergence where new capacity continues to be added—primarily in China and India—despite a decline in actual electricity generation. The report notes that coal is increasingly serving as backup capacity for system security rather than a primary source, while the number of countries planning new coal projects has decreased to 32. A significant portion of the document focuses on Turkey, detailing the tension between strong social demand for energy transition and government policies that continue to support coal through guaranteed purchase mechanisms.

• In 2025, global coal capacity increased by 3.5%, while electricity generated from coal decreased by 0.6%, indicating a growing gap between installed capacity and actual production.
• China and India showed a marked divergence in 2025; China's coal capacity grew by 6% while production fell by 1.2%, and India's capacity grew by 3.8% while production dropped by 2.9%.
• China reached a historical peak in 2025 with 161.7 GW of new and reopened coal plant projects, with over 500 GW currently in the planning stage.
• The number of countries planning or constructing new coal plants has declined from 75 in 2014 to 32 in 2025. Latin America announced a commitment to no new coal projects in 2025.
• Approximately 70% of coal plants planned for closure globally in 2025 remained operational, with failure rates of 69% in the EU and 59% in the US.
• In Turkey, planned coal capacity has dropped drastically from 57.5 GW in 2015 to only 0.7 GW by 2025, making Turkey the second highest globally for plant plan cancellations.
• Despite the decline in planned projects, the Turkish government announced a guaranteed purchase mechanism for coal plants valid until 2030 in September 2025, and is considering long-term guarantees until 2045.
• The Afşin-Elbistan A Thermal Power Plant expansion is the only planned coal project remaining in Turkey as of 2025, though it has faced legal challenges and expert reports stating it lacks public benefit.
