– The reduction in coal capacity is due to an increase in renewable energy sources in the country’s electricity mix.
– The government is not making any efforts to bring forward the statutory deadline for exiting coal by 2038, but operators are encouraged to voluntarily switch off coal-fired power plants earlier due to rising CO2 prices.
