China is building six times more new coal plants than other countries, report finds
March 2, 2023
China permitted more coal power plants last year than any time in the last seven years, according to a new report released this week. It's the equivalent of about two new coal power plants per week. The report by energy data organizations Global Energy Monitor and the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air finds the country quadrupled the amount of new coal power approvals in 2022 compared to 2021.
That's despite the fact that much of the world is getting off coal, says Flora Champenois, coal research analyst at Global Energy Monitor and one of the co-authors of the report.
"Everybody else is moving away from coal and China seems to be stepping on the gas," she says. "We saw that China has six times as much plants starting construction as the rest of the world combined."

They are anxious because Germany is on the edge of winter, during an unprecedented European energy crisis. Russia’s war with Ukraine

Europe energy crisis: Italians told to turn thermostats down
Central heating will be restricted in Italy this winter, as it becomes the latest country to take action on European gas supply shortages sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Under a new government decree, buildings will face an extra fifteen days without central heating.
Italians will also be told to turn their heating down by one degree, and off for an extra hour a day.
