Global coal power grew 2% last year, the most since 2016, GEM survey says

China's coal expansion contradicts President Xi's pledge to limit new coal power, according to Flora Champenois, GEM coal programme director.
This surge in coal power threatens the Chinese Communist Party's goal to shut down 30GW of coal power by 2025, with only 9GW retired recently.
Champenois highlighted the continued construction of new coal plants and lack of retirement, expressing concern about China's failure to control coal use.
