KÜRESEL KÖMÜRLÜ TERMIK SANTRAL TAKIBI

Global coal-fired power capacity reached a record 2,130 GW in 2023, driven largely by China, despite a general global trend toward reducing new coal construction. While the EU and UK are accelerating retirements, China's new construction capacity reached an eight-year high. Turkey continues to develop coal capacity, ranking eighth globally in capacity under development, despite significant local opposition and the cancellation of numerous projects.

• Global coal-fired power capacity reached its highest level in history in 2023, totaling 2,130 GW after a 2% (48.4 GW) increase.
• China's coal plant construction trends diverge sharply from the rest of the world; while non-Chinese countries saw the lowest level of new construction since 2015, China's new capacity reached its highest level in eight years in 2023.
• Only 15% (317 GW) of the global operating coal capacity has retirement commitments aligned with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C goal. To reach zero coal capacity by 2040, an average of 126 GW must be retired annually over the next 17 years.
• Turkey ranks eighth globally for coal capacity under development (4.8 GW) and remains the highest in this category among OECD countries and neighbors in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, despite not starting new construction in 2023.
• In the EU and UK, coal-fired electricity generation fell by 26% in 2023, and for the first time, renewable energy accounted for more than 40% of total electricity production in the EU.
• The G20 countries control the vast majority of coal infrastructure, holding 92% of operating capacity (1,968 GW) and 88% of pre-construction capacity (336 GW).
