Summary
This report by Global Energy Monitor and partners analyzes the global status of coal-fired power plants as of April 2022. It highlights a stark divergence between China, which continues to expand its coal capacity, and the rest of the world, where many countries are committing to 'No New Coal' and accelerating plant closures following COP26.
Key insights
- Global coal capacity increased by 18.2 GW in 2021, primarily because China's new capacity additions (25.2 GW) nearly offset the closures in the rest of the world (25.6 GW).
- Following COP26, the number of coal plants with effectively determined closure dates nearly doubled to 750 plants (550 GW).
