Prospective climate change impacts on China's fossil and renewable power-generation infrastructure: Regional and plant-level analyses

•Pending climate impacts on China's main power infrastructure were evaluated.•A pervasive negative impact on China's power sector will expand over time.•Spatial heterogeneity of climate impacts appears across diverse provinces.•A critical minority of plants contribute to the main body of climate impacts.•A strong nexus is shown between carbon emissions and climate losses for coal-fired plants.
