Nagpur: India has the excess capacity of the largest fossil fuels in South Asia, with more than 67 gigawatts (GW) overcharged coal fuel capacity.
This is an Indian interest rate paying fee of more than RS15,780 Crore every year.
It was revealed in the latest reports released by the research center on energy and clean air (Crea) and zero transition, which focuses on demand and electricity supply in three South Asian countries – Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.
This report utilizes modeling training based on actual peak requests and source-wise generation data around the peak request.
According to the report, it is close to 75 gw excess fuel capacity of fossils can be established immediately without affecting the reliability of electricity supply in these countries.
The analysis highlights that retirement of 67 gw excess capacity of coal-fueled in India will not only save billions of dollars but also help the state improve air quality and save lives.
“India as a country has moved from the power deficit for Geography Power Surplus.
The excess power of the power of excess power is the consequences of various factors that result in stranded assets, which the government cannot be resolved over the past few years.
One of the main reasons for the development of excess capacity in this country is The construction of the rampant coal-based power plant which follows too high power requirements by the government, “the report said.
The country’s thermal power plant is currently staring at the deficiency of coal.
Some states including Punjab, Rajasthan and Bihar have reported shedding expenses as a result of heat-power plants operating at low capacity.
Commenting on the crisis, analyst at Crea and one of the authors, Sunil Dahiya, said, “Because of the lack of coal and skyrocketing fuel prices causing heat generation to reduce generations, the cost of the Indian coal dependence on the country that can be done in the last years It is to close the excess coal capacity and invest more in zero-carbon electricity which is not influenced by fuel supply shocks.
“Further reports found that the overall South Asia had more than 75 gw excess fuel capacity of fossil fuels.
A large number of inability found in this study are the result of excessive investment in coal development, because construction has the growth of actual demand far abroad.
Together, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan assigned more than 30 GW coal capacity, oil and gas between March 2018 and 2021.
In fulfilling emissions limits to control air pollution and protecting public health, Dahiya said that electricity in the future can be met by alternatives Cleaners like wind and solar with battery storage.
“In India, various estimates of the cost of strengthening existing coal power plants is up to 12 billion.
In Pakistan and Bangladesh, most coal-fired capacities have a very bad emission control standard that results in poor air quality.
Improving this coal plant with technology The best emission control available means additional investment to protect public health, “he said.
What studies are said – India has the excess capacity of the largest fossil fuels in South Asia – more than 67 of the coal-fueled capacity is excessive – Indian interest rate payment costs more than RS15,780 Crore every year – Construction of rampant new power plants is the reason The main in the back of excessive capacity – future electricity demand can be fulfilled by alternative cleaners
