... coal-fired power plants, and absolute consumption rises alongside the economy. Other developing Asian countries (such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and others) are implementing new coal power projects to meet the growing demands of populations and industries. Global coal market supply has adjusted to high demand. Major exporters – Indonesia, Australia, Russia, and South Africa – have increased production and export of thermal coal in recent years, keeping prices relatively stable. Following the price spikes of ...

... helps moderate demand for gas during peak generation hours. Stable liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies and relatively weak industrial demand maintain balance in the market. Overall, European gas prices are currently significantly lower than the crisis ... ... March 2025, the share of wind and solar energy in U.S. electricity production reached nearly 24%, surpassing contributions from coal and nuclear power plants (each of which provided less than 20%). Combined, all renewable sources (including hydro, biomass,...

... coal-fired plants, and absolute coal consumption is rising alongside the economy. Other developing countries in Asia (Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, among others) are constructing new coal power plants to meet the increasing demands of their populations and industries. Global coal production and trade have adapted to consistently high demand. Major exporters – Indonesia, Australia, Russia, and South Africa – have increased production and export of thermal coal in recent years, allowing prices to remain relatively stable....

... is derived from clean sources. However, to ensure base load, China continues to build modern coal-fired power plants, although the share of coal in total generation is gradually decreasing. In Western countries, renewable energy has nearly displaced coal: the intermittent nature of solar and wind generation is compensated by gas power plants and energy storage systems. All of this signals a global turning point in energy. Investments are increasingly shifting towards RES, and carbon-intensive industries are forced to adapt to new realities. For energy sector investors, the "green" trend opens opportunities—from the development of solar and wind projects to upgrading grid infrastructure and energy storage systems. Electricity Sector: ...
