Context
The recent increase in coal consumption, despite the increase in solar and wind power, suggests that reliable and low-carbon electricity resources are critical to ensure the deep decarbonisation of power generation, along with grid stability and energy security.
Small modular reactors – a type of nuclear reactor – can be helpful to India in this regard.
