Partnering to Accelerate the Clean Repowering of Coal Power Plants
A global network of academic partners, developers, researchers, and policymakers sharing the mission of educating for a carbon-free future.
Our vision is to accelerate the global shift from coal to clean energy, through four core areas:
partnershipsWe are partnering with other organisations — from policymakers and banks to utilities, researchers and more — to accelerate and push forward repowering projects around the world. Insights and outcomes are shared across our network.
repowerscoreOur tool to assess the suitability of repowering a given power plant through multiple pathways, including advanced nuclear, next-generation geothermal, and concentrated solar power— with further options in development.
Case StudiesThe Repower Initiative is developing a framework to conduct Case Studies on the clean repowering of coal-fired power plants. Repowering potential is assessed through techno-economic, financial, social and environmental analysis.
OutreachWe simplify technical insights to promote repowering as a climate solution, and foster collaboration through international events that unite experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to drive innovation and strengthen the ecosystem.
The Repower network is growing.

What does
Repowering mean?
The term “Repowering” means transforming existing coal power plants into clean energy hubs by retrofitting them with low-carbon technologies like solar, wind, geothermal or advanced nuclear. It’s a smart way to reduce emissions while making use of existing infrastructure—benefiting plant owners, workers, local communities, and the planet.
