🏭 China Coal power outlook
China Electricity Council expects coal-fired capacity to increase 180 GW in 2021-2030 period to peak at 1260 GW in 2030.

China Electricity Council then expects power sector's coal consumption to rise from 2.3 bln tonnes in 2020, to 2.52 bln in 2025, and between 2.45-2.53 bln in 2030.
This implies the pathway for coal plants' emissions then.

🇨🇳 Gas power outlook:
China Electricity Council expects Gas-fired capacity to rise from 98GW in 2020, to 150 GW in 2025 and 235 GW in 2030.
Gas-fired generation expected to increase from 248.5 TWh in 2020 to 670 TWh in 2030

🇨🇳 Power sector emissions pathway
Another report by the same department of CEC and published on the same day (27 Dec.) expect China power sector emissions to peak in 2028 at 4.7 Gt (scenario 2, RE+nuclear)

As for why need more coal plants buildout:
- to meet rising power demand (and peak load)
- to facilitate RE integration
This vision for the power system is discussed in the Politburo study session 24 Jan:
