theirfather, grandfather, great grandfather s diary for that day of days. talks about what happened onjune 6th, taking some flak, seeing some other planes go down. and it was also interesting that, when he landed, one of the things he said was, i think i m going to get drunk. it was just amazing to have his in flight notes about what was going on during the d day invasion. what were the kind of things that jumped out at you? well, one, that he wasjust a young man and that what he was about to embark on and his calm demeanour about what was about to happen it was inspiring. this iconic image showed the allied commander, general eisenhower, talking to troops about to board planes, including that s all brother, which led the airborne armada from greenham common in berkshire. front, right, plf. prepare to land. land.
In the fiscal year 2023-24, NTPC, India s largest power generating company, achieved a record annual electricity generation of 422 billion units, marking nearly a 6% growth compared to the previous year. The coal stations operated by NTPC recorded a plant load factor (PLF) of 77%, indicating efficient capacity utilization.
Coal has remained a dominant fuel source to meet the base load power demand in the country, and its share in the overall energy generation mix is estimated to decline from 73 per cent in FY2023 to about 58-60 per cent in FY2030, assuming the renewable capacity addition scenario of 200 GW between FY2024 and FY2030, as per ICRA estimates.
More than 74% of Indias electricity generation comes from thermal power, which is driven primarily by coal. With the lack of a storage solution for renewable power, thermal capacity will be needed to meet Indias rising power needs. New capacity addition takes over five years to come on stream. All this is helping the established power and utility companies.
