Grist: According to a new report from CoalSwarms Global Coal Plant Tracker, the total amount of coal-fired generating capacity in pre-construction planning dropped from 1,090 gigawatts (GW) in January 2016 to 932 GW in July. Thats a reduction approximately the size of the entire coal-generating capacity of the E.U. The largest decreases come from from India and China, whose governments announced they would be (slowly) moving away from coal in the aftermath of last Decembers climate talks in Paris. In...

Coal-fired power stations face closure to meet emissions target, says government agency

Guardian: Australias coal-fired power stations will face early closure to meet 2030 emissions reduction commitments, according to assumptions made by a government agency that runs the national electricity grid. The Australian Energy Market Operator (Aemo) also found such closures would push wholesale energy prices up, but that would be offset by reduced energy consumption and greater energy efficiency, leaving consumers energy bills relatively unaffected. The findings come from the Aemos annual 20-year...
