The early retirement of high-emitting assets will be a key element of decarbonization on the road to net zero. Managed phaseout (MPO) refers to strategies to finance or enable such early retirement. This report aims to bring together and build on emerging frameworks for, and recent experience of, the MPO of coal-fired power plants (CFPPs), to begin to provide practical guidance for net zero-committed financial institutions considering whether to support the financing of coal phaseout transactions in the near term.

This guidance is therefore also highly relevant to companies that own and operate CFPPs, as well as those that oversee power systems such as state-owned energy companies, regulators and governments, all of whom will need to understand the expectations of net-zero financial institutions that may choose to provide some of the necessary financing. It should be of interest also to public policymakers and public and private sector entities globally who are seeking to hasten coal phaseout.
