Swapping expensive coal generation with locally sited solar
Coal-to-Solar Generation Swaps focus less on the retirement of India’s coal capacity, and more on the potential to swap out coal generation for closely-sited solar and storage
Coal Power Generation in India
India has 191 coal plants with a combined capacity of 212 GW
75% of India’s electricity comes from these coal plants (~1200 TWh) by burning (~750MT of coal )
While crucial for India’s short to medium-term energy future, 71% of coal capacity (152 GW) has a variable cost higher than 2.5 rupees per kilowatt-hour – the current cost of solar in India.
Solar Power Generation Potential
97% of coal plants have enough nearby land available to install solar parks that can replace all of their coal generation
In 65% of those 185 plants, local solar is cheaper than coal’s variable cost.
30% of coal generation can be economically replaced by installing 90GW of solar combined with 40 GW of storage near coal plants.
A unique opportunity for India's ever-growing energy demand
