Der Kohlestrom geht in China und Indien zum ersten Mal seit Jahrzehnten zurück

Coal-fired power generation fell in both China and India in 2025 for the first time in more than five decades, as non-fossil energy sources grew fast enough in both countries to meet rising electricity demand.

Electricity generated by coal plants fell by 1.6 per cent in China and by 3 per cent in India last year, marking “a historic moment” since the early 1970s that coal power has dropped in both countries in the same year.

Coal use declined in both countries even as electricity demand continued to rise, according to analysts at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), which examined electricity generation and capacity data for 2025.
