Coal crisis:
Nuclear plants are operating at near full capacity and exceeding their planned targets which is rare as purchasers prioritise cheap coal based power over nuclear if they can avoid although it is against the Central guidelines.
Central guidance says Solar+Wind+Hydro+Nuclear are Must Run category which means any power produced should be considered primary and purchased in full at any PPA price. Cheaper Coal and other thermal is considered dynamic load and should cover the rest only.
KAPS-1, MAPS-1, NAPS-1 are down for their 20-year enmass refuelling. KAPS-3 is operating at low load although it is still in tetsing and not commissioned and is not reflected in this report as it is directly selling to exchange.
Data for September: (October data is much wilder - We are only 10 days into october but they exceeded their 17 days target)
