Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>South China Morning Post<\/b> – IF THERE is a country likely to be hurt the most by President Xi Jinping\u2019s decision for Beijing to stop building new power plants overseas, it is Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

Among several African countries with large deposits of coal, it is heavily dependent on China after it had sanctions imposed on it by the United States and some European countries because of former president Robert Mugabe\u2019s human rights abuses and policy of seizing land from white farmers.<\/p>\n

It was planning to build several coal-fired power plants costing a total of US$15 billion, with Chinese lenders initially committed to them. Private funding was not forthcoming, partly because of growing opposition from environmental campaigners.<\/p>\n

But on Tuesday, in a pre-recorded speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Xi sounded a death knell for several coal projects, including in Zimbabwe, for which Chinese lenders were expected to provide financing.<\/p>\n

Chinese cash funds African coal plants despite environmental concerns<\/b><\/p>\n

The southern African nation\u2019s demand for power exceeds its supply, causing it to seek to build more plants. Its electricity shortage means it cannot attract power-intensive manufacturing companies.<\/p>\n

Xi\u2019s pledge could halt dozens of coal power projects in Africa, although there had already been a notable slowdown in new financing since Xi last year announced a target for net-zero emissions by 2060.<\/p>\n

China is the single largest financier of coal-powered plants overseas as well as the largest producer and consumer of coal.<\/p>\n

But Beijing has not funded any coal projects abroad in the first half of this year and the country\u2019s largest financier of such projects, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, said it would start phasing out coal from its portfolio.<\/p>\n

The bank in July declined to fund the US$3 billion Sengwa coal project, in Zimbabwe\u2019s north, as pressure grew from activists and communities.<\/p>\n

Independent climate change think tank E3G says Zimbabwe is among the laggards \u2013 also including Botswana and Mozambique \u2013 who continue to pursue coal-fired plants, bucking the global trend of retiring or not funding the environmentally destructive energy source.<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwean government has been vocal in its continued pursuit of new coal, even as Chinese financiers pull out, E3G said in its latest report about the collapse of the global coal pipeline.<\/p>\n

The country has 990 megawatts of coal power plants under construction and 4.5GW in the pipeline, but the Chinese government\u2019s freeze on funding them is likely to force it to seek alternative sources of financing or shift to solar and hydro power.<\/p>\n

What is China doing about climate change?<\/b><\/p>\n

Besides Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique, other countries that may be forced by China\u2019s pivot to stall their coal plant plans include Kenya, Djibouti, Madagascar, Malawi and South Africa.<\/p>\n

Xi\u2019s statement means \u201cexisting and agreed projects will be honoured but new projects will be off the table\u201d, according to Yun Sun, director of the China programme at the Stimson Centre in Washington.<\/p>\n

Groundwork, an environmental justice organisation working in South Africa, welcomed Xi\u2019s statement, calling it a victory for the thousands of community activists in countries including Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast and South Africa who had \u201cchallenged their governments and China, and said no to coal\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe challenge President Xi to end support from all Chinese institutions \u2026 that keep Africa\u2019s coal mines, plants and other infrastructure under construction or planned,\u201d Groundwork said.<\/p>\n

Lauri Myllyvirta, the lead analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, said the announcement signalled a major policy shift for China and \u201cleaves no international financing for new coal\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaking any new financing or equity investment commitments to coal power projects overseas would be toxic for any Chinese bank or power company,\u201d Myllyvirta said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor projects that haven\u2019t yet achieved financial close, that\u2019s likely to be the end of the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Myllyvirta said it was not yet clear what forms of involvement in coal power projects had been ruled out, and where the line would be drawn for projects that were already initiated.<\/p>\n

According to Boston University Global Development Policy Centre, the Chinese state has funded coal projects worth US$43 billion since 2000, mainly in Asia and southern Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that the world\u2019s major governments have led by example and banned overseas coal plants, it is time for the private sector, which finances 87% of overseas coal, to follow suit,\u201d said Kevin Gallagher, the centre\u2019s director.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will not meet our global climate and development goals if the private sector continues to finance overseas coal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chinese cash funds African coal plants despite environmental concerns<\/b><\/p>\n

Christoph Nedopil Wang, the founding director of the Green Belt and Road Initiative Centre, said Chinese financial institutions and engineering companies had historically been an important source of financing and engineering capacity for overseas coal development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe door has been shut to [governments] in coal-rich countries to ask for Chinese financing and engineering in new coal projects,\u201d Wang said.<\/p>\n

But he said there was not yet clarity on whether the announcement would halt already announced coal-fired projects.<\/p>\n

Rishikesh Ram Bhandary, a climate finance and international climate negotiations expert, said China\u2019s decision was \u201clikely to bolster the voices calling for a greater focus on renewables within these countries\u201d. However, he said it was unlikely to have an immediate impact on South Africa and Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs our database shows, the coal-fired power plants funded by the Chinese policy bank are already under construction or in operation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, we need further details from the Chinese government to fully understand what the announcement includes and excludes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the last source of major public finance for coal-fired power plants being removed, countries such as South Africa and Zimbabwe will need to think carefully about the policies they need, and the infrastructure required to significantly scale up renewables.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
