India urges coal plants to increase output
The Indian government has instructed over 100 coal-fired power plants, most of which are dedicated to large industrial facilities, to maximize their output starting from October through the end of the year. This measure aims to meet the anticipated surge in electricity demand in the coming months. The decision comes amid pressure on the power system, as about 40% of coal plants are operating with low stockpiles due to increased demand and high temperatures caused by the El Niño phenomenon. The measures include requiring the plants to submit weekly data on production, consumption, and inventories, as well as extending the full operational capacity of the Tata Power plant until the end of December.
