Karnataka prefers renewable energy to thermal power: Energy minister
BENGALURU: Amidst global clamour against the thermal power plants and the fight against climate change, Karnataka energy minister KJ George on Monday clarified that there is no proposal to build any new thermal plants in Karnataka.
“Rather than setting up new thermal power plants, we will strengthen the existing plants and focus more on augmenting the generation of renewable energy in Karnataka,” the minister said during his visit to the Ballari Thermal Power Station (BTPS) at Kuditini in Ballari.
