"A key indicator of coal power capacity growth — new construction starts —
looks set to decline outside of China for the second year in a row, according
to new quarterly data from Global Energy Monitor (GEM).
As of October 2023, data in the Global Coal Plant Tracker show that
construction starts for the year are under 2 GW, excluding China, well below
the nearly 16 GW annual average for the same set of countries in the last eight
years (2015 to 2022).
Coal power capacity beginning construction outside of China is on track for
2023 to reach a record annual low since GEM began its yearly data collection in
2015.
With the UN’s COP28 kicking off this week in the Emirates, the collapse in new
coal breaking ground provides momentum for world leaders seeking to reign in
the remaining 131 coal projects (110 GW) outside of China still under
consideration — projects that have either been announced or are in the
pre-permit and permitted stages."
