Source-reported

India's coal power generation fell to its lowest point in a year during July. Renewable energy sources reached a record high, contributing twenty percent to the nation's power mix. Solar and wind output exceeded one hundred gigawatts for the first time in history. Hydropower generation declined due to lower rainfall caused by El Nino patterns. Increased demand and reduced hydro output may drive a surge in coal-fired power generation.
