This map provides an overview of all of Europe’s gas power plants and their statuses: installed, planned, under construction, shelved, cancelled or retired. It allows an accurate assessment of the threat of fossil gas to the transition to a fossil-free, fully renewables-based European power system, and it shows where urgent actions are needed to reverse the tide of new gas plants and units and bring about retirements of existing ones.

Gas power plants are part of the power system in 26 of the 27 EU member states, in three of the six Western Balkans countries, as well as in the UK, Türkiye, Norway, Moldova, Ukraine and Switzerland. The only European countries which do not currently have any active gas power plants are Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Luxembourg, Kosovo and Cyprus.
