In Asia, under a 2ºC global warming scenario, coal power plants' annual usable capacity factor in Mongolia, Southeast Asia and parts of China and India are projected to decrease due to water constraints . In the EU, an assessment of 1326 thermal electric plants in 818 basins projected that the number of basins with water stress would increase from 47 in 2014 to 54 in 2030  with consequent impacts on cooling water supplies. In the western USA, by 2050, vulnerable power plants are projected to lose 1.1-3.0% of average summer generation capacity, which could rise to 7.2 to 8.8% loss under a 10-year drought condition . Further, 27% of thermoelectric production in the USA may be at severe risk of low-capacity utilisation due to water stress by 2030 . Thermoelectric plant capacity on the hottest summer day in the USA and EU is projected to fall by 2% under a 2°C global warming and by 3.1% under a 4℃ global warming, requiring overbuilding of electricity infrastructure by 1-7% given the current energy mix portfolio . A systematic review showed consistent decreases in mid to end of the century in thermal power production capacity due to insufficiency of cooling water in southern, western and eastern Europe ; North America and Oceania , central, southern and western Asia  and western and southern Africa  . Overall, apart from emissions benefits, moving away from thermal power generation to other renewable energy will also lower the chances of climate-induced curtailment of energy production .
