Planned coal-fired power generation dips 14%, says study
Oslo
THE amount of coal-fired power generation under development worldwide has shrunk by 14 per cent this year, driven down by China as it struggles with oversupply and tries to promote cleaner energy, a study showed on Wednesday.
India also introduced policies in the first half of 2016 curbing plans for coal-fired plants, partly due to under-utilisation of existing plants, according to a Global Coal Plant Tracker run by non-government and anti-coal group CoalSwarm.
