Energy Sector: Nuclear Discussions, Infrastructure Issues and Tariffs
There are multiple things happening in the energy field.
Experts are discussing using nuclear energy in Southeast Asia, looking into how it could help with future energy plans.
The government also wants to make more things in India instead of buying them from other countries, especially electrical products, and is asking for ideas.
A company called PGCIL was told to fix a leaning tower, but they didn't, and it fell down.
The cost of storing energy from the sun has also become much cheaper.
IEA and IAEA are launching the Southeast Asia Nuclear Dialogue Series.
CEA is preparing a list of imported products for domestic manufacturing.
CEA criticized PGCIL for not reinforcing a power transmission tower, which collapsed.
The tower collapse occurred on the Kishenpur–New Wanpoh transmission line, commissioned in 2017.
Solar-plus-battery energy storage system tariffs have decreased significantly.
