Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation Ltd. (Tangedco) has voiced concerns over the Union Ministry of Power’s scheme for replacement of thermal power with renewable energy by 2025-26. It has said the scheme, in its present form, is not rational and cannot be implemented.
In May this year, the Union Ministry issued a notification for replacing 58,000 million units of thermal power generated in the Central, State and private sectors with renewable energy. A renewable energy (solar) capacity of about 30,000 MW would be required for the purpose, the notification said.
