Carbon costs for planned coal power plants in the Western Balkans and the risk of stranded assets

This briefing analyses ten coal-fired power plant projects across the Western Balkans and finds that, once the cost of carbon emissions allowances are factored in, they could become a serious liability for both the companies involved and the public.

Overlooked carbon costs could turn Western Balkans' new coal power plants into white elephants - analysis

Moreover, only a few feasibility assessments for coal power plants in the region are publicly available, and most of those have failed to properly take carbon costs into account, the briefing authors note.
