The Persistent Problem of Coal Power Finance

16 SEP 2021

On 16 Sept 2021 16:00 - 17:00 CET, SEforALL and CPI will launch a new knowledge brief on Coal Power Finance in High-Impact Countries.

Although the overall trend is to diminish the global investment in coal fired power plants, high-impact countries in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa still receive funding for additional coal capacity.

This new research identifies which high-impact countries are receiving finance for coal fired power, the sources of this investment, its key drivers and the risks attached. The research also offers a series of recommendations to accelerate coal phase-out in favor of more cost-effective renewable energy solutions that support both increased energy access and the transition.
