El Niño to dent India’s wind, hydropower output: study
A study by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air warns that El Niño conditions could reduce India's wind and hydropower output. This potential shortfall may lead to increased reliance on coal-fired power, resulting in higher carbon emissions.
India’s power system stands to be strained more by the developing El Niño than that of any other country, according to an analysis by the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). They project that weaker wind and hydropower output, combined with rising demand for air conditioning, could open a generation gap of nearly 18 TWh (terawatt-hour) over a period of one year to June 2027.
