29 November (IEEFA): A new report by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) finds that South Korea is rapidly developing liquefied natural gas (LNG) import and storage terminals, presenting a high risk of overinvestment and overcapacity. IEEFA estimates the country''s LNG industry is pouring ₩11.3 trillion (US$8.7 billion) into …
Causes. Overcapacity arises from a combination of economic, strategic, and external factors that disrupt the equilibrium between production capabilities and market demand. Firstly, economic downturns can trigger overcapacity as reduced consumer spending leads to weakened demand for goods and services. Industries with high fixed …
In recent years, the literature related to overcapacity has mainly explored the reasons for overcapacity [3][4][5][6][7][8], the formative mechanisms of overcapacity [9] [10][11], consequences of ...
In 2024, China''s central economic meetings highlighted challenges of overcapacity in certain industries. High-level visits and discussions with the U.S. and Germany focused on capacity issues, leading to new bilateral mechanisms for economic balance and growth discussions.
As shown in Fig. 1, the new energy industry showed a rapid growth trend, increasing from 913.5 billion kilowatt hour in 2000 to 4035.4 billion kilowatt hour in 2015. The annual average growth rate of new energy production was 10.4%, much higher than traditional coal production (6.5%) and oil production (1.9%).
The United States and China discussed Chinese overcapacity in solar and battery manufacturing, steel production and coal power during two days of bilateral …
Over the period 1959-73 the average annual growth in electricity consumption in the UK was 6.4% against a 2.0% growth in primary energy consumption; the correspond- ing figures for the EEC as a whole were 7.3% and 4.3%.''. The difference is shown in Figure 1, where the primary energy equivalent of the electricity_ 46 consumed …

Introduction. A paradox exists in several African countries'' energy sectors, where a problem of overcapacity can be observed, while many people do not have access to energy and investments in energy are too low ( IEA Africa Energy Outlook 2022, 2022 ). The paradox consists in a capacity to generate electricity that is higher than demand with ...
