´Coal Mitra´ portal launched to facilitate flexibility in domestic coal utilisation

Power Minister Piyush Goyal, has launched ´Coal Mitra´, a portal for flexibility in utilisation of domestic coal. He also released reports on ´Renewable Energy Integration: Transmission an Enabler´, ´Green Energy Corridor II´ and ´Electricity Demand Pattern Analysis´. Goyal was presiding over an event, ´Empowering the Grid to meet Future Challenges´, organised by Power Grid.

The Coal Mitra portal has been designed to bring about flexibility in utilisation of domestic coal by transferring the reserves to more cost-efficient state/Centre owned or private sector generating stations, leading to lower generation costs and ultimately lesser cost of electricity for the consumers.
