Coal-shortage

Improved liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply has brought some relief. However, it is uncertain how long this relief will last. Meanwhile, gas fired power plants have regained momentum in production. But coal shortages and mechanical faults have reduced output from thermal power plants. In addition, rising temperatures have pushed up electricity demand. As a result, more hours of load shedding have been added. The lack of electricity amid intense heat has disrupted public life. Officials fr...

Power generation has been disrupted by a severe gas shortage for more than one and a half months and a coal shortage for the past month. Recently, power generation at two coal fired power plants including Adani’s plant fell by half due to technical problems. At the same time, electricity demand has increased amid intense heat. However, the demand cannot be met due to multiple crises. As a result, people are remaining without electricity for hours at a time and daily life has been severely...

Adani Power has reduced its electricity supply to Bangladesh. Although the company’s Godda power plant in Jharkhand had been supplying nearly 1,500 megawatts of electricity, its average supply has stood at 1,000 megawatts for several days. During the day, the supply is between 800 and 850 megawatts while at night it reaches between 1,100 and 1,300 megawatts. The reduction in Adani’s power supply for more than a month amid the country’s severe electricity crisis has drawn widespread critici...
