Why India is on the brink of an unprecedented power crisis

systematic load shedding

That is how it starts.

Ask us how we know that.

why not they buy fuel simply?

what would buying fuel do? You cannot simply just run a power plant on fuel available. Converting coal based to oil based or even gas power stations takes time and money. Even crude oil is going up, gas prices in Europe are record high.

India will start running out of economically viable coal resources in the next couple of decades. Most of S. Asia's unused fossil energy resources are in Pakistan (and possibly Afghanistan).

Availability of coal is not a problem in Bharat, but champion of earth Modi wants a noble prize for himself.. Apna modi greta ka saga wala hai...

Modi made a huge push for domestic Indian coal production. Problem is deeper then realized by most. India may have coal supply put you must factor demand which is increasing much more rapidly (and is mostly unproductive residential loads......industry has not even fully recovered). Privatization has been a failure since unmined coal blocks are not economically viable. India can not increase coal production without more rapidly depleting economically viable coal blocks.

hydro?, nuclear power plants?

Already solved successfully by Modi govt

Bharat Coking Coal, Central Coalfields ramp up production to meet demands

Authorities reduce Durga Puja leave of workers, hope to keep up workflow

Shifting coking coal production to power plants will hit steal production. Your robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Load shedding is the best solution in the short term.

Load shedding is the best solution in the short term.

We have increased the production of coal in CCL from 1.4 lakh tonnes per day to around 1.7 lakh tonnes to meet the power crisis and simultaneously ramped up the production at BCCL to 74-75 thousand tonnes per day”, said Prasad.

We supplied 18.5 rakes of coal yesterday via BCCL, increasing it from 12 rakes, and similarly the supply of coal through CCL has also been increased to 39 rakes yesterday from 14 rakes of the day before yesterday,” said Prasad and added that cyclonic rain has aggravated the crisis situation.

“The situation was such that more than 270 mm rainfall was recorded in Dhanbad, which adversely affected coal production as well as supply of coal to power companies,” said Prasad.

“Everyone is concerned about the situation, which is being monitored at Coal Ministry and Power Ministry level,” said Prasad.

“If we are able to maintain the production flow at present then we will be able to tide over the crisis phase,” said Prasad..

It does not say what you are implying anywhere in the article ?

India has installed 147GW of solar power in the last 10 years only. Target is 175GW of solar by 2022. Coal based plants are already less planned than normal. India plans to have battery storage plans as well to store energy.

Coal will never die out due to our huge size. Lots of coal fields still haven't put to tender yet. If we need it we will.

Solar makes up only a few percent of India electrical output. Having coal in the ground and being able to economical extract that coal are two different things. Much of India's coal reserves are too deep in the ground or too low quality to be economically viable at the moment.

And you will be happy with that ? Why should you tolerate it instead of complaining to the government ? Ask it to stop building Modi's palace in Delhi and instead include that money in buying Australian, Russian and Indonesian coal.

But I must make another point here. Why have the Indian electricity scientists from the IITs and IISc not researched novel methods of electricity sources ? The American company NDB is developing small, modular nuclear batteries that use direct conversion of radioactivity from carbon-14 to electricity and the carbon-14 material being encased in synthetic diamond. This battery technology can be used to power anything that requires electricity - from heart pacemakers to lamps to computers to space stations. It is supposed to have a long life depending on application - from nine years to more to 28,000 years ! Then there is the idea of taking inspiration from the animal world - the electric eel which can produce up to 860 volts ! Why haven't Indian power scientists done all this ?

Entire PDF is hoping for a power crisis in India. I don't think it is happening though. Lol.

Lol. You vote for Owaisi and we'll vote for who we like.
