Proposed coal plants in Europe and Turkey

Loading map...

Overview

According to a November 2012 working paper released by the World Resources Institute, there are 69 proposed coal plants totalling 65,421 MW in Europe (excluding Russia) and 45 proposed projects totalling 36,719 MW in Turkey. The paper estimated that an additional 26,000 to 48,000 MW of coal-fired electrical generating capacity will also be added in Russia by 2030, but did not list project names or locations.

Table 1 (sortable): Proposed coal plants in Europe (excluding Russia) and Turkey

The following table provides a preliminary list of proposed coal plants in Europe (excluding Russia) and Turkey. Most locations are from the CARMA database. In cases where locations were not available from CARMA, latitude and longitude were derived by locating the nearest village, town, or city to the plant, using iTouchMap.com. Names are derived from the appendices provided in WRI's "Global Coal Risk Assessment" working paper; however, some Turkish names have been Anglicized.
