The 2019 report by Global Energy Monitor, Sierra Club, and Greenpeace indicates a three-year decline in major growth indicators for coal-fired power generation. While global project pipelines and new licenses in China and India have dropped significantly, China remains a critical factor due to its financing of international projects and potential policy shifts regarding its domestic capacity ceiling. The United States led the world in coal plant retirements in 2018, despite political efforts to maintain aging plants. The report emphasizes that current operational coal capacity exceeds the limits required to meet IPCC climate goals of 1.5°C or 2°C warming.

  • 2018 marked the third consecutive year of decline across major growth indicators for coal-fired electricity, including construction starts, pre-construction activities, and project completions.
  • Global coal plant retirements reached near-record levels in 2018, with the United States leading the trend by retiring 17.6 GW of capacity, despite the Trump administration's efforts to keep aging plants operational.
  • There has been a massive reduction in planned coal capacity in China and India since 2015; China's planned capacity fell from 515 GW to 70 GW (an 86% drop), and India's fell from 218 GW to 36 GW (an 83% drop).
  • China is the dominant global financier of coal, providing funding for over 50% of all coal-fired power capacity currently under development worldwide, including a quarter of all such projects outside its own borders.
  • A proposal by the China Electricity Council in March 2019 to set a 2030 coal capacity ceiling at 1,300 GW suggests a potential policy shift from the previous 1,100 GW limit, which could allow for an additional 290 GW of capacity.
  • In India, new solar and wind capacity has exceeded new coal capacity for two consecutive years as of 2018, driven by falling renewable costs and financial pressures on coal projects.
  • Turkey's coal capacity grew by 6.5 GW over five years to reach 19 GW by 2018, though many projects remain in early stages and some have been cancelled due to financing issues and public opposition.
  • According to IPCC analysis, current operational coal plants with average lifespans will produce emissions that exceed the limits necessary to restrict global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C.
