Karnataka Boosts Thermal Power Amid Poor Monsoon

Karnataka Boosts Thermal Power Amid Poor Monsoon

Karnataka is producing more thermal power because the monsoon rains were not enough, which means there is less water in the dams to generate hydroelectric power.

The state is now making more electricity using coal power plants to meet the demand.

This helps them avoid buying expensive electricity from other sources.

The government is working to keep all thermal power plants running at full capacity to ensure there is enough electricity for everyone.

However, using more thermal power can cause pollution and health problems.
