COAL: Buying out the relatively new coal power projects, including the local Thar coalmines4, would have an upfront estimated cost of US$18 billion. An additional estimated US$13 billion will be required to replace the production of the coal power plants with solar (World Bank study) This cost of energy transition alone would require US$101 billion by 2030, and additional US$65 billion by 2040, on account of completing the in-progress RE projects, additional hydropower, transmission, and phasing out of coal and replacing with hydropower.
This cost of energy transition alone would require US$101 billion by 2030, and additional US$65 billion by 2040, on account of completing the in-progress RE projects, additional hydropower, transmission, and phasing out of coal and replacing with hydropower. From 2020, new coal power plants are subject to a moratorium, and no generation of power through imported coal shall be allowed, shelving plans for two new coal fired power plants in favor of hydroelectric power and focusing on coal gasification and liquefaction for indigenous coal.
