India<\/a>\u2019s thermal power production continues to forge ahead, growing by 9% last year, from 1190 to 1294 TWh.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile there has been barely any increase at all in their much vaunted renewables. Wind and solar only increased by 16 TWh in the 10 months to October (latest data), and still only account for less than 12% of India\u2019s electricity:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New coal generating capacity added 2120 MW last year, and now stands at 208 GW. In the last three years 9630 MW has been added.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Demand peaks at around 240 GW in summer; with wind and solar averaging just 19 GW, it is plainly absurd to suggest that India will be transitioning away from coal any time soon!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
