The country's power demand is likely to remain above 200 GW in the June owing to delayed monsoon.

Gas-based power plants have played a crucial role this summer to meet India's electricity demand in the non-solar hours.

Tata Power now adding renewables to city-based generation portfolio as thermal plants are polluting, way more expensive, and take much longer to be built. Company looking at running decommissioned 500 MW Unit 6 of Trombay thermal power plant, using naphtha and green hydrogen as fuel.

Despite the government mandating thermal power plants to blend imported coal up to 6 percent, only 3 percent has been achieved on an average so far. Yet, the India managed to save at least 46 MT of domestic coal with the import mandate.

At least 35 million tonnes of coal are stocked at thermal power plants.

The conference on consumer-centric approaches for e-cooking transition brought together institutional consumers, consumer research groups, policymakers, think tanks and manufacturers

With top-down reform from the Centre having only limited impact and given the political realities, the evolving model of state-led discom privatisation should be studied, improved, and adopted more broadly across India. Voters have shown more acceptance of recent models: Managing consumers and employee unions is key

The power generator is riding on the back of stable earnings and better demand along with its increasing footprint in the renewable space

About 35 million tonnes (MT) of coal are stocked at thermal power plants.

Meanwhile, NGEL) and UPRVUNL signed a MoU in Lucknow on June 1 to collaborate in the development of renewable energy (RE) parks and projects.

The share of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hybrid in the total energy generation on May 30 was 9.03 percent.

The total fund requirement for the period 2022-2027 is estimated to be Rs. 14,54,188 crore and for 2027-2032 it is likely to be Rs. 19,06,406 crore.

The NEP indicates that coal will remain important in ensuring India's energy security and energy transition, while keeping tariffs affordable, as battery storage systems remain expensive. However, the growth of renewable energy is going to be steeper than coal till 2032.

India’s likely installed capacity for 2031-32 is 900.4 GW comprising 304 GW of conventional capacity and 596 GW of renewable based capacity, the National Electricity Plan stated.

However, the revised coal prices may lead to an increase in the price of cement, aluminum, steel among other commodities due to higher input costs, experts said.

The share of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and hybrid in the total energy generation on May 29 was 9.86 percent

CIL expects a revenue of Rs 2,703 crore for the balance period of financial year 2023-24. Moneycontrol was the first to report on May 11 that CIL was going to increase coal prices due to its plan of increasing the wages for its non-executive staff

On May 23, India met a peak power demand of 221.34 GW, which is the highest so far.

The clean energy source is generating buzz as an alternative to fossil fuels. The FT calculates that delivering it requires $20tn of investment by 2050

The International Energy Agency expects $1.7 trillion to be spent on clean energy this year, with expenditure on solar power exceeding that on upstream oil and gas for the first time. But the best projects will be erected close to the places where their power will be consumed

Of the 165 domestic coal-based thermal power plants in the country, only 28 had critical stocks as on May 25.

When somebody says that power is free, it means that you pay more taxes because ultimately it is the taxpayer who is bearing the brunt of the free power, the Union minister for power said.

The share of coal-fired power plants in meeting the demand was 71 percent.

In the wind energy sector, most of the manufacturers are actually exporting all their products. I'll do away with the LMM for wind energy if this continues, said Union minister for power and renewable energy RK Singh.
