India's Coal Power Output Drops, Renewable Energy Surges in May

In May, India used much less coal to make electricity, the biggest drop in five years.

This happened because people needed less electricity overall, and because India used more clean energy sources like solar and wind.

The cooler weather also played a part, as overall electricity use went down.

The amount of electricity made from natural gas also dropped a lot.

Renewable energy increased to a record level, showing that India is relying more on clean sources.

This change is also due to lower prices on both coal and LNG.
