The 2019 Global Coal Plant Tracker report reveals a contradictory trend: while the global pipeline for new coal plants has shrunk by two-thirds since 2015 and generation fell by 3% in 2019, net global capacity actually increased by 34.1 GW due to a surge of new plants in China. Western commercial banks have largely ceased direct financing for coal, but Chinese state banks and Indian state-owned finance corporations continue to provide significant funding. The report emphasizes that current trends are insufficient to meet the IPCC's goal of an 80% reduction in coal use by 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

• Global coal power capacity saw a net increase of 34.1 GW in 2019, marking the first net increase since 2015. This growth was driven primarily by China, which accounted for approximately two-thirds (64%) of new capacity at 43.8 GW, while capacity outside China decreased for the second consecutive year.
• The global pipeline for new coal plants has contracted for four consecutive years. Total capacity in the planning and construction phases dropped from 1,468 GW in 2015 to 499.2 GW in 2019. Specifically, capacity in the pre-construction phase fell by 82% from 1,152.5 GW in 2015 to 299.6 GW in 2019.
• Coal power generation decreased by 3% globally in 2019 compared to 2018, with significant drops in the European Union (24%) and the United States (16%). The average global capacity factor for coal plants reached a record low of 51%.
• In the United States, coal plant retirements reached 16.5 GW in 2019, the second-highest annual total since 2000. The average annual retirement rate during Donald Trump's term (2017-2019) was 13.7 GW, a 67% increase over the average during Barack Obama's term (2009-2016), which was 8.2 GW.
• Japan remains a major driver of coal power within the OECD, developing 11.9 GW of domestic capacity and supporting 24.7 GW of projects outside its borders. This is more than the total coal capacity in Australia (24.4 GW).
• China's coal sector faces significant overcapacity; in 2019, the central government designated 40% of the electricity from new coal plants (approximately 48.3 GW) as emergency reserve power and restricted their operating hours.
• Financial support for new coal is shifting away from Western commercial banks. No commercial banks from Australia, Europe, or the US provided direct financing for new coal projects in 2019. However, Chinese state financial institutions remain active, with the Export-Import Bank of China supporting 15% (2.8 GW) of new coal construction outside China.
• In India, new coal construction increased in 2019 to 8.8 GW, heavily supported by state-owned entities like the Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and Rural Electrification Corporation (REC), despite a trend of private Indian financial institutions moving away from the sector.
