United States based investment management corporation BlackRock is the largest investor in European coal utilities. As of February 2020, it had devoted nearly 7 billion euros to RWE, Uniper, Enel, and other major coal utilities in Europe. The largest European investor is the Norwegian Government Pension Fund Global, which has a stake worth 1.5 billion euros in this sector.
Concern has been growing over investment firms and banks' continued sponsorship of heavily polluting industries in spite of the Paris Climate Agreement. Following increased pressure from activists and its own shareholders, JPMorgan Chase joined a row of financial institutions promising to step away from future fundings of coal producers and coal-reliant utilities. On a global scale, the greatest lenders to the coal power sector are Chinese institutions.
