These towers are harmless; they don’t emit CO2.
But we blow them up anyway for optics.

Repowering flips the script: keep what works, ditch what pollutes, save time and money.

Transition smarter.

Over 10,000 coal plants still operate globally. Most are less than 15 years old.

What if, instead of shutting them down, we turned them into clean power stations?

Repowering helps us avoid waste and deliver clean energy faster — at scale.

RENEWABLES > COAL

In H1 2025, renewables overtook coal in global electricity for the first time. 📊
Solar met 83% of new demand.

But as coal falls, what happens to its legacy?

Repower it.
Reuse sites. Reinvent systems.
Reimagine the transition.

Anhui Suzhou Coal Power Plant: a breakthrough in combined-heat-and-power technology: 2 molten salt tanks now provide a total rated storage capacity of 1,000 MWh.

Thermal energy storage helps coal plants convert to clean tech such as nuclear and geothermal.

Ripping out old systems delays climate action. Repowering speeds it up. By reusing grids and power stations, we upgrade instead of starting over.

Same infrastructure, new energy.

This is how we decarbonise faster and smarter.

‘Financing the Clean Repowering of Coal Power’

This paper seeks to raise awareness of the potential to eliminate emissions from existing coal fired power plants (CFPPs), while supporting a just transition for communities, by investing in clean energy resources on the same sites.

🔢 RepowerScore v7.0

It expresses the suitability of Repowering a coal-fired power plant with clean energy sources - currently nuclear, advanced geothermal, concentrated solar power (CSP), and thermal energy storage (TES).

~10,000 Coal units have been scored.

Give it a go!

We’ve burned coal for over a century. Now, we have a chance to rewrite the story.

Instead of demolishing the infrastructure, repowering lets us reuse what works and replace what pollutes.

The result? A faster, fairer energy transition that protects jobs, saves money and cuts emissions.
