Flexible coal power could play a larger role in Asia’s energy transition

Bar chart: Germany's 2026 electricity cost (EUR/MWh) by source with stacked components (CAPEX, fuel, O&M, etc.), showing totals 374, 214, 120, 143, 133 EUR/MWh for Solar, Wind onshore, Gas CCGT, Hard coal, Lignite, Nuclear, with capture rates noted.

Power generation costs may favour coal more than widely believed

Multi-line time-series chart (2004–2026) showing each marginal fuel category's share: Gas, Wind, Coal, Oil, Uranium, Municipal Waste, Landfill Gas, Interface, Emergency DR, Other. Coal starts high and declines over time while Gas rises, Wind increases later, and the remaining categories stay small with minor fluctuations.
