Küresel Kömürlü Termik Santral Takibi

In 2025, global coal capacity increased by 3.5% while coal-generated electricity decreased by 0.6%, reflecting a shift where coal serves as backup capacity rather than a primary source. This trend is most prominent in China and India, where record capacity additions coexist with falling production due to the rise of renewables. While the number of countries planning new coal projects fell to 32 in 2025, some nations like the US and EU delayed plant closures for energy security. In Turkey, planned coal capacity has plummeted from 57.5 GW in 2015 to 0.7 GW by 2025, though tensions remain between social demand for transition and government policies such as guaranteed purchase mechanisms for coal plants through 2030.

• There is a growing gap between coal plant capacity and actual electricity production globally; in 2025, global installed capacity rose by 3.5% while coal-generated electricity fell by 0.6%.
• China and India are leading the trend of adding coal capacity as backup for system security while simultaneously seeing a decline in coal-based generation as renewables meet increasing demand.
• China reached a historical peak in 2025 with 161.7 GW of new and reopened coal plant projects, and has over 500 GW in the planning stage, risking a 'lock-in' of coal capacity through 2030.
• The number of countries planning or constructing new coal plants continues to decline, dropping from 75 in 2014 to 32 in 2025, with Latin America reporting no new coal projects in 2025.
• Approximately 70% of coal plants scheduled for closure globally in 2025 were not closed as planned, with failure rates of 69% in the EU and 59% in the US due to energy security and federal interventions.
• Turkey has seen a massive reduction in planned coal capacity, falling from 57.5 GW in 2015 to 0.7 GW in 2025, leaving only one active project: the expansion of the Afşin-Elbistan A Thermal Power Plant.
• 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.
