COAL KEEPS POWERING INDIA AS BOOMING ECONOMY CRUSHES GREEN HOPES

The world’s most-populous nation has signaled that it will reduce its
dependence on the fossil fuel. But growing energy needs complicate the equation.

Built along a stretch of salt flats in southern India, the Tuticorin power plant
epitomizes a quagmire for the world’s fastest-growing major economy: how to
provide reliable energy to 1.4 billion people.

For starters, the 1,050-megawatt coal plant, one of the region’s largest, was
supposed to shut down. Opened four decades ago, the facility is too cramped to
install retrofits to meet the government’s pollution norms, prompting India’s
power ministry to plan its closure by 2022. Yet the facility continues to run at
full blast, clocking 90% utilization in February. Aging boilers guzzle coal from
mines nearly 2,000 kilometers away — a transport distance that only adds to the
nation’s emissions footprint.
