繁荣与衰落

In 2018, global coal-fired power capacity growth continued a three-year decline, with new construction and commissioning falling significantly. While the US led a high rate of retirements, China saw a paradoxical trend: a sharp drop in new approvals but a rise in under-construction capacity as previously halted projects resumed. India also saw a historic low in new approvals as solar and wind power became more cost-competitive. The report emphasizes that current operating coal plants are incompatible with IPCC goals to limit warming to 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius.

• Global coal-fired power capacity growth indicators declined sharply in 2018, marking the third consecutive year of decrease. New construction of coal plants fell by 39% year-on-year and 84% compared to 2015, while new commissions dropped 20% year-on-year and 53% compared to 2015.
• Coal plant retirements remained high in 2018, the third-highest year globally and the second-highest for the United States, which retired 17.6 GW despite government efforts to extend the life of older plants.
• China's coal power landscape is contradictory; while new approvals in 2018 fell to less than 5 GW, total under-construction capacity increased by 12% because the central government allowed the resumption of approximately 50 GW of previously halted projects. Furthermore, a March 2019 report by the China Electricity Council suggests a capacity ceiling of 1,300 GW by 2030, which would add 290 GW to current levels.
