How CATA works
CATA provides targeted technical assistance to support coal-asset owners to develop practical plant-level financial mechanisms to accelerate the coal transition. CATA structures this support through a three-stage Coal Transition Journey.
Scope
The first stage supports coal asset owners to understand the system-wide considerations to support an effective coal transition within their national, regional and local context.
Design
The second stage develops appropriate coal transition financing mechanism options for a coal asset owner, considering the local system, socio-economic and political context.
Deploy
The third stage supports the coal asset owners with the development of plant-level transactions.
Coal Transition Journey
We can work with coal asset owners at any stage of this journey to help support their ambitions to accelerate the transition in a way that is just and inclusive. The timelines for each phase and the outputs produced are highly dependent on the needs of the asset owner and the local context.
