Coal India identifies 20 abandoned mines for pump storage projects

The government on Friday said more than 20 abandoned mines have been identified by state-owned CIL for evaluation and feasibility study for pump storage projects. The information was shared by Coal India Ltd (CIL) during a diversification review meeting held by Coal Secretary Amrit Lal Meena. State-owned NLCIL has also taken up a feasibility study on pump storage projects, the coal ministry said in a statement. Pumped storage power plants use gravity to generate electricity using water that has previously been pumped from a reservoir in the pit into an upper reservoir. During periods of low demand, the water is pumped into the higher reservoir. When demand is high, the water is released to drive a turbine in a powerhouse and feed electricity into the grid. Over 200 de-coaled mines with huge land area are available in coal producing areas. Many of these mines are feasible for pump storage projects. Further, direction has been given for stakeholders consultation with agencies who m
