> China approved the construction of another 106 gigawatts of coal-fired power capacity last year, four times higher than a year earlier and the highest since 2015, research shows.

> Over the year, 50GW of coal power capacity went into construction across the country - up by more than half compared with the previous year - driven by energy security considerations, the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air and Global Energy Monitor said on Monday.

> The amount of new capacity connected to the grid had slowed in recent years after a decline in new approvals over the 2017-2020 period, but it is set to rebound over the next few years, driven by concerns about power shortages.
