Weak rains and fading solar drain India's coal stockpiles

Original: Weak rains and fading solar have forced India to drain coal stockpiles just to keep the lights on... Night shortfalls hi

India is burning through coal reserves to keep electricity flowing as weak monsoon rains reduce hydropower and fading solar output hits evening supply. Night-time shortfalls reached 7.7 gigawatts this month, worse than during the summer heat wave, while grid coal inventories have more than halved from a year ago to their lowest level in nearly three years.

Why now: Falling coal stocks and worsening night power shortfalls raise fears of blackouts in India.
