Power system reform, nuclear growth, and coal asset transition The latest Repower China Brief is now available, covering developments from January to April 2026. This issue looks at how China’s energy transition is moving into a more complex phase. Alongside the continued expansion of non-fossil generation, policy attention is increasingly focused on system flexibility, capacity…
Bogi Højgaard is the CEO and board member of Repower Initiative. We caught up with Bogi last year at the summit in Poland, where he shared his views on repowering, including the vital grid stabilisation aspect it provides for systems heavily based on variable renewables. Tell us about your previous role before Repower Initiative? In my previous role as Associate Director at the CATA Carbon Trust, we worked on several pieces of work on coal retirement across Southeast Asia and particularly…
We’re still reliving the energy, ideas and momentum from the Repower China Summit in Beijing. The summit brought together experts, partners and leaders working to accelerate the clean repowering of coal power plants—transforming existing coal infrastructure into clean, modern energy systems while preserving valuable assets, grid connections and skilled workforces. Through conversations, presentations and shared…
Ember’s seventh annual Global Electricity Review offers a comprehensive snapshot of how electricity generation evolved globally and at the country level in 2025, drawing on the latest available data. It highlights key trends and what they may mean for future power sources and power sector emissions. Alongside the report, Ember is also publishing a new,…
The transformation of Poland's energy sector is both a necessary requirement for achieving its climate goals and essential for ensuring national energy security. Faced with the continued aging of its domestic coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), many of which are over 50 years old, and increasingly stringent environmental regulations, a gradual shift away from fossil fuels…

波兰能源部门的转型既是既定气候目标的必然要求，也是确保国家能源安全所必需的。面对国内燃煤电厂（CFPPs）的持续老化（许多机组已使用超过50年）以及日益严格的环境法规，逐步摆脱化石燃料、转向低排放能源至关重要。与此同时，转型必须以确保国家电力系统（KSE）的稳定性、保障能源供应安全以及保持可接受的总体经济成本为前提。这要求以协调一致的方式替代燃煤发电，对于那些经济状况往往与当地燃料和能源产业紧密相连的地区，最好在转型过程中遵循“公正转型”的要求。实际上，这意味着要提升核能的作用，因为如果不投资建设核电站，在维持长期经济增长的同时实现气候目标可能难以实现。 应通过新建核电机组来替代燃煤电厂的装机容量，以提升核能占比，且新建机组最好选址于现有燃煤电厂所在地或其附近。这种方法既能实现气候目标，又能维持当地经济的持续健康发展。利用现有的输电基础设施和当地基础设施要素，有助于降低核电站的建设成本。此类投资符合“煤转核”（C2N）转型理念。该理念在全球范围内日益受到推崇，尤其在那些经济发展的基础源于煤炭在能源领域的重要作用、如今又面临经济脱碳需求的地区。 为阐明“煤转核”转型的实际应用，DEsire项目开展了初步可行性研究。这些研究涵盖了三项潜在投资，其中两项为棕地改造项目，一项为直接投资。研究对象包括科济涅采电厂、多尔纳奥德拉电厂，以及奥波莱电厂正在运行的900兆瓦机组之一。这些分析旨在考察在现实的现场条件下投资流程如何推进，以及可能取得哪些技术和经济成果。研究团队制定了场地开发方案和投资时间表，涵盖了从分析阶段、获取许可，到新建核系统施工和调试的所有关键阶段。 这些研究报告已翻译成英文和中文，现可在我们的网站上独家查阅。由“REPOWER”倡议组织编制的非约束性、非官方译文，供内部使用 📄 KM4.1 Dolna Odra - 下奥得河 - Chinese.pdf 📄 Dolna Odra_No.-1-下奥得河-第1号-Chinese.pdf 📄 KM4.1 Dolna Odra_No. 2 - 下奥得河 - 第2号 - Chinese.pdf 📄 KM4.1 Dolna Odra_No. 3 - 下奥得河 - 第3号 - Chinese.pdf 由“Repower Initiative”编制的非约束性非官方译文 本预可行性研究报告由DEsire项目团队撰写。 点击此处了解更多关于他们的工作.
