Projections by industry group the China Electricity Council showing that 80GW of coal could be commissioned for the full year would make 2025 the biggest year for new coal power capacity additions in a decade, the CREA report said.
New approvals of coal power projects in the first half of the year, however, fell slightly from recent years, to 25GW.
"The core tension of 2025 is increasingly evident: coal's share in power generation has fallen to record lows, yet new coal power capacity additions are on track to reach decade highs," the researchers wrote.
