Coal power purchase agreements play a critical role in determining the economics, utilisation and fuel requirements of India’s 228.6 GW coal-fired fleet. With coal still providing approximately 69% of national electricity generation, potential reforms to these long-term contracts could affect plant dispatch, capacity payments and ultimately India’s demand for thermal coal. Why we selected this report: This is another report […]
Saskatchewan coal plants could remain operational until 2050 under a provincial strategy intended to protect energy security, system reliability and electricity supply as demand grows. The proposed extension of seven generating units totalling 1.61 GW has nevertheless intensified debate over refurbishment costs, regulatory exposure and whether alternative technologies can fully replace the fleet’s energy and reliability contribution. Why we selected […]
China coal-fired generation will remain a significant component of the country’s energy system for the foreseeable future, even as renewable power expands at an unprecedented pace. China installed more than 1,300 GW of renewable capacity over the past five years, but also added approximately 180 GW of thermal coal capacity, demonstrating that a declining percentage share does not necessarily translate […]
Global coal prices strengthened further as European utilities stepped up winter restocking and supply disruptions tightened availability across several major origins. South African coal reached a five-month high, while Russian Black Sea and Azov Sea loadings remained near a standstill following drone attacks. Indonesian coal also moved higher as delayed RKAB quota approvals restricted spot availability and drought conditions on […]
Chile coal generation continues to play an important role in the country’s electricity system despite the rapid expansion of wind and solar capacity. Coal still supplied 18% of electricity in 2025 and helped compensate for lower hydropower output, while transmission constraints, renewable curtailment and insufficient system flexibility complicate the next stage of the country’s energy transition. Why we selected this […]
Coal remains the foundation of Indonesia’s rapidly expanding electricity system, accounting for approximately 68% of national generation. Although falling renewable costs and ambitious solar targets are increasing pressure on coal, electricity demand is projected to grow by more than 60% by 2034, making the pace and scale of any displacement highly consequential for both Indonesia and the wider global coal […]
Australian coal-fired generation will continue to play a critical role in electricity supply as demand rises and the country works to deliver sufficient replacement capacity. Replacing coal is far more complicated than installing an equivalent volume of renewable capacity, as retiring plants provide not only dispatchable power but also large volumes of dependable electricity throughout the year. Why we selected […]
India coal imports and coke shipments fell to 20.141 MMT in July 2026, down 8.54% year on year and 9.90% month on month. Thermal coal imports declined to 11.433 MMT, while petcoke imports plunged to a 53-month low of 0.551 MMT. Coking coal moved differently, rising 14.65% month on month to 6.073 MMT even though volumes were 1.28% lower than […]
The global coal mine pipeline expanded by 11% in 2025 despite slowing demand growth, according to a report written from a perspective that openly advocates an accelerated transition away from coal. Its findings nevertheless provide important market intelligence for anyone assessing the industry’s future—which is precisely why the Coal Hub includes analysis from sources representing different perspectives on coal. Why […]
