Coal India to supply more coal to power plants than annual contracted quantity | Mint

Coal India Ltd (CIL), the world's largest coal mining company, has decided to supply more coal to power plants than their annual contracted quantities (ACQs). This change eliminates the provision that previously limited coal supplies to a maximum of 120% of ACQ. With a current coal stock of 72 million tonnes, CIL aims to meet the increasing power demand in India. The government plans to add 80 gigawatts of thermal capacity by 2032 to the current 210.96 GW capacity.

Coal India liberalises long-term supply deals to allow power sale on exchanges

Coal India has liberalized long-term supply deals, allowing power generated from coal under "linkage contracts" to be sold on power exchanges, according to a recent notice. This decision aims to maintain consistent coal demand amid declining purchases by coal-fired power plants. The move comes as coal use for power generation has decreased for the fourth consecutive month, despite heightened electricity demand. This change provides utilities more flexibility in power sales, enhancing operational responsiveness.

Is India ready to meet this year’s summer power demand?

India is expected to experience hotter than usual summer months, leading to a higher demand for electricity. The government anticipates a peak power demand of 256 GW, with projections of it potentially reaching 260 GW. Despite the increased penetration of renewable energy, coal remains the main source of power generation in India. However, compared to previous years, the country is better prepared this year due to higher coal stocks. The power ministry has also issued orders to ensure that coal-based power generators continue blending imported coal and that imported thermal plants generate at full capacity. Additionally, there has been an increase in thermal and renewable power generation capacity, as well as efforts to address logistics challenges and balance night-time peak demand. However, hydropower generation may be lower than expected due to late monsoons and sparse rainfall. Please note that this summary includes some junk lines as requested and does not include any additional information.

No, coal is not dead

India's economic growth has been strong, leading to the construction of new buildings and infrastructure. Despite progress in renewable energy, coal remains the dominant fuel source for electricity generation in India. Coal India, the world's largest coal company, has defied expectations with record-breaking sales and profits. The company enjoys a near-monopoly in the Indian coal market and is the main supplier to power plants. It is also expected to unlock value through the IPOs of its subsidiaries. However, the long-term prospects of the coal industry depend on India's ability to balance growth with sustainability.

FGD rule relaxation to cut electricity cost by 25-30 paise a unit

The Indian government has relaxed sulphur emission rules for coal-fired power plants, aiming to lower electricity costs by 25-30 paise per unit. The rule now mandates flue-gas desulphurisation (FGD) system installation only for plants near large cities or in polluted areas. This move is expected to reduce unnecessary costs, avoid additional CO2 emissions, and maintain electricity affordability, while targeting regulation based on urban proximity and coal sulphur content.

Climate Activists Tell the EV Industry to Fix Its Filthy Supply Chain

Activists staged a protest at the LA Auto Show, dressed as characters from the show "Squid Games," to draw attention to the environmental impact of the electric vehicle (EV) supply chain. According to a report by EV makers Rivian and Polestar, the EV supply chain generates 35 to 50 percent more greenhouse gas emissions than gas-powered vehicles. The activists called out Hyundai for their reliance on coal-powered steel plants and alleged labor violations. Lead the Charge, a coalition of climate and labor groups, aims to hold automakers accountable for the impacts of their supply chains on climate, labor, and Indigenous people's rights.
