This report by Global Energy Monitor and partners tracks global coal-fired power plant plans as of 2019. It highlights a general decline in new coal plans and construction globally, though China remains a significant outlier due to the completion of projects permitted years prior. The report details the shift in financing away from commercial banks toward public funding and examines regional trends across the OECD, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

  • Global coal-fired power capacity saw a net increase of 34.1 GW in 2019, the first such increase since 2015. This was primarily driven by China, which accounted for nearly two-thirds (64%) of the 68.3 GW of new capacity that began operation. Excluding China, global coal capacity has decreased for two consecutive years because closures exceeded new operations.
  • Global coal generation decreased by 3% in 2019 compared to 2018, with significant drops in the EU (-24%) and the US (-16%). This led to a record low global average capacity factor of 51%.
