The report finds a general global decline in coal power growth, with significant drops in approvals and planning since 2015. While the US leads in record retirements, China shows a contradictory trend: despite a drop in new approvals, it has resumed construction on previously delayed projects and proposed increasing its national coal capacity ceiling to 1,300 GW by 2030. India is also seeing a decline in coal approvals as solar and wind energy become more cost-competitive. The report emphasizes that current coal capacity exceeds IPCC limits for 1.5°C and 2°C warming targets.

  • Global indicators for coal power growth declined across almost all metrics in 2018, including the start of construction, planning phases, and completions.
  • The capacity of coal plants in the pre-construction phase has dropped by nearly 70% since 2015, falling from 1,090 GW to 339 GW in 2018.
  • Coal plant retirements reached a record high in 2018, with the United States leading the trend by retiring 17.6 GW of capacity.
  • India's coal approvals have hit record lows, with less than 3 GW approved in 2018, as the country increasingly prioritizes wind and solar energy over coal.
  • Current global coal power capacity, if operated at average rates for their full lifespan, exceeds the IPCC's estimated limits for keeping global temperature rises below 1.5°C or 2°C.
