China continues to lead the world in the amount of
coal power capacity under development, despite tightening restrictions on new coal plant projects by the Chinese authorities.
Not exact matches
Under capacity markets, utilities can bid for payments to keep their gas and
coal - fired
power plants available, instead of decommissioning them.
At a plausible GHG emissions price of $ 50 / t CO2eq
under a future US carbon mitigation policy, such co-production systems competing as
power suppliers would be able to provide low - GHG - emitting synthetic fuels at the same unit cost as for
coal synfuels characterized by ten times the GHG emission rate that are produced in plants having three times the synfuel output
capacity and requiring twice the total capital investment.
Since 2000,
coal - fired
power generation
capacity has grown by nearly 900 gigawatts (GW), but net additions from today to 2040 are only 400 GW and many of these are plants already
under construction.

The Indian government's December 2016 draft National Energy Plan says that «no further
coal power capacity beyond that currently
under construction will be needed until at least 2027.»
He managed to find a note of optimism in the more efficient
coal power fleet that will remain after 68,000 MW of old
capacity retires by 2020,
under pressure from various regulations and competition from natural gas.
But while India's
power demand will double over the next decade, its draft National Electricity Plan (NEP) calls for rising demand to be met with 275 gigawatts (GW) total renewable energy
capacity by 2027, without requiring new
coal plants beyond those already
under construction.
