India’s trend of new coal plants going “Dead Cold” continues… gas supplies no better

June 18, 2012

Coal India’s failure to meet demand stalls $36 Billion of investments intended for new thermal plant – Bloomberg

The company completed a 1,320-megawatt coal plant in Haryana state in April. The facility is “dead cold” for lack of coal supplies, Naveen Munjal, director of business development, said in an interview. Its 655-megawatt gas-fired plant in Gujarat state is also running below 50 percent capacity due to a fuel shortfall, he said.
