Coal’s share in India’s electricity generation rose to the highest level in at least 9 quarters during the first three months of 2021. The share of renewable energy rose in 2020 when overall power demand was reduced by lockdowns to limit the pandemic. This year, seasonal factors have limited output of renewables, which are weather dependent, helping coal’s share to rebound. The share of coal and lignite rose to 78.9% for the quarter ended March 31, from 75.9% a year earlier, a Reuters analysis of daily load despatch data from regulator POSOCO showed. Coal’s contribution to India’s annual electricity generation fell for the second straight year in 2020, the data shows,marking a departure from decades of growth in coal-fired power.More Related News
