This was the result of growing renewable power generation, switches from coal to natural gas, improvements in energy efficiency, as well as structural changes in the global economy. The decline was driven by a surge in shale gas supplies and more attractive renewable power that displaced coal. Fatih Birol, the IEA’s executive director.

Avoiding new coal-fired power plants and accelerated phasing out of existing plants—while ensuring careful handling of issues such as employment, investor interests and grid stability—would help the emissions picture. In early 2017, an additional 273 GW of coal-fired capacity was under construction and 570 GW in pre-construction.

Ember’s analysis also finds that solar capacity additions in 2024 will likely surpass the entire global increase – 540 GW – in coal power capacity since 2010. Solar’s better-than-expected growth has led to forecast revisions – for example, SolarPower Europe increased its 2024 global forecast from 401 GW in June 2023 to 544 GW in June 2024.
