Melacak Rangkaian Proyek Baru Pembangkit Listrik Batu Bara Global
Summary
The report finds that global coal capacity reached a historic high in 2023, increasing by 48.4 GW to a total of 2,130 GW. While new construction starts reached a nine-year low outside of China, China saw an eight-year high in new starts. Only 15% of global operating coal capacity has commitments to close in line with the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goal. In Indonesia, the report highlights a surge in 'captive' coal plants supporting nickel smelting, noting that 27.5% of Indonesia's operating coal capacity is captive. Despite the US$20 billion Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), Indonesia's early retirement targets for coal plants shrank from 5.5 GW to 1.7 GW in late 2023.
Key insights
- New coal construction starts in 2023 reached their lowest annual level since 2015 outside of China, whereas China experienced its highest level of new construction starts in eight years.
- Only 15% (317 GW) of the world's currently operating coal capacity is covered by commitments to close in alignment with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C warming limit.
- In 2023, new coal proposals outside China were led by India (11.4 GW), Kazakhstan (4.6 GW), and Indonesia (2.5 GW).
- Captive coal plants, which operate independently of the power grid for industrial use, are becoming a primary driver for new proposals, specifically for nickel smelting in Indonesia and chrome smelters in Zimbabwe.
- Indonesia's energy transition is hindered by a reliance on captive coal plants for metal processing; 27.5% of its operating coal capacity is captive, and these plants are often affiliated with China.
- The Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) in Indonesia has been criticized for its funding structure, where grants represent less than 1% of the US$20 billion commitment, and its early retirement target for coal plants was reduced from 5.5 GW to 1.7 GW in November 2023.
- The Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK) updated its financial taxonomy to classify captive coal plants as 'transition' activities, which the report describes as a step backward.
