India's renewables to contribute 13% of power generation mix in five years, double the amount today

• 15 10月 2018

India’s renewables target of 175 GW capacity (100 GW of solar and 75 GW of wind) by 2022 is an ambitious endeavour. Even with significant cost declines, Wood Mackenzie expects about 76% of the target to be met by 2022 and this would still be a noteworthy achievement. Wood Mackenzie's solar analyst Rishab Shrestha explains why.

Who will finance Asia's coal power projects?

• 05 1月 2018

Historically, coal has played a key role in meeting Asia's growing power demand. However environmental concerns has led to more stringent regulations and commitments towards tighter emission controls globally. Increasingly over the last year, financing institutions (mostly export credit agencies (ECAs) in OECD countries and European banks) have announced plans to stop investing in coal power projects. This could impact Asia since we expect growth in power demand through to 2035, and this calls for new power capacity, including coal-fired ones.

China's thermal coal import restriction could mean a game of musical chairs for producers

• 26 3月 2019

Rumours of a ban on Australian thermal coal to China swept through the thermal coal market early March while in late February five north-eastern ports in China implemented changes to clearance procedures for Australian thermal coal. One thing appears certain - Chinese demand for Australian thermal coal has been significantly impacted, at least in the short-term. Even if an outright ban is not implemented, a three-month customs clearance time will significantly increase the cost and increase the risk associated with Australian thermal cargoes.
