The interactive timeline pulls from the Global Coal Plant Tracker''s latest data and features around 10,000 retired, operating, and planned coal units, totaling close to 3,000 gigawatts (GW) of capacity across 95 countries. On the map, each circular icon''s size represents each plant''s coal
Coal fired. South Africa has rich coal deposits concentrated in the northeast of the country and as such the majority of South Africa''s coalfired plants are located in the Mpumalanga province. Around 77% of South Africa''s energy needs are directly derived from coal and 81% of all coal consumed domestically goes towards electricity production.
The following page lists all coalfired power stations (including lignitefired) that are 3,000 MW or larger current net capacity, which are currently operational or under construction. If a station also has units which do not burn coal, only coalfired capacity is listed. Those power stations that are smaller than 3,000 MW, and those that are only at a planning/proposal stage may be found in
