Fig. 1: Characteristics of India’s coal power units and climate target pathways.
From: Ambitious climate targets can make the phaseout of India’s coal-fired power plants cost-beneficial
a Geographic locations and the installed capacities of individual operating units in India. The map is based on factual evidence and displays the non-disputed areas under actual control. b Total installed capacity and age structure of operating units in each state (the baseline year is 2020), as well as the capacity of units under construction or planned (Pipeline). Capacity is expressed in megawatts (MW) at the unit level and in gigawatts (GW) at the state level. c, d India’s coal power capacity pathways consistent with limiting warming to 1.5 °C and 2 °C. The dark lines indicate median pathways, with shaded areas representing the 5th–95th percentile range (light shading) and the 25th–75th percentile range (dark shading).
