Global coal power plant development has declined for the fourth consecutive year in 2019, while construction of a total of 13 gigawatts (GW) of capacity has been delayed
so far this year due to the coronavirus, according to a joint study by multiple environmental groups around the world.

An annual survey of coal-fired power plant pipeline projects around the world by Global Energy Monitor, Greenpeace International, Sierra Club and the Energy and Clean Air Research Center showed a 16 percent
drop in capacity under construction and development last year.

This year, construction of 15 coal plants with a total capacity of 13 GW has been delayed
so far due to labor or supply chain issues related to the coronavirus outbreak.

Even with an overall decline in coal-fired power plant development in 2019, the world is still on track with the drastic cuts in coal-fired power generation needed to limit global warming
, the report said.

Scientists say coal use needs to be reduced by 80 percent by 2030 to keep global warming below
1.
5 degrees Celsius.

Globally, coal power generation fell 3% in 2019 compared to 2018, the biggest decline since 1990
.

New coal-fired power plant developers will face increasingly tough conditions
due to investment restrictions by banks and insurance companies and government commitments to phase out coal.
