Karnataka's Power Generation Rises, Surplus Electricity Generated
Karnataka is making a lot more electricity than last year!
They are generating about 16% more power, enough to sell some to other places.
This is thanks to rain filling up the dams and wind power being very successful.
Karnataka is actually number one in India for using wind to make electricity.
The state also has plans to make even more power in the future, hoping to reach a much higher level by 2030.
Karnataka has seen a 16.89% rise in power generation compared to last year.
The state is now producing surplus electricity and selling it to other states.
Good monsoon rainfall has led to higher inflow into reservoirs, boosting hydropower.
Karnataka leads India in wind power generation, surpassing Gujarat and Tamil Nadu.
The state aims to reach 60,000 MW of power generation capacity by 2030.
