Coal reserves at Indian power plants are rapidly depleting due to the energy crisis

Coal reserves at Indian power plants began to rapidly deplete as they were forced to increase generation due to problems in hydropower and evening drops in solar energy production. Bloomberg reported this.

According to him, the federal government has obliged companies with their own coal power plants with a capacity of more than 50 megawatts to operate at full capacity. These are the consequences of one of the most serious energy shortages. It is caused by a dry monsoon triggered by the El Niño phenomenon. Because of this, hydroelectric power production fell, but demand for electricity for cooling and irrigation increased. In September, the nighttime deficit reached 7.7 gigawatts.
