The primary source of electricity generation in Manipur is hydropower. In 2020, hydropower accounted for 97.5% of Manipur’s electricity generation, followed by thermal power (2.5%).
Hydropower is a form of renewable energy that uses the power of moving water to generate electricity. It is a clean and efficient way to generate electricity, and it does not produce greenhouse gases.
Thermal power is a form of non-renewable energy that uses heat to generate electricity. It is a less efficient way to generate electricity than hydropower, and it produces greenhouse gases.
Solar power is a form of renewable energy that uses the sun’s energy to generate electricity. It is a clean and efficient way to generate electricity, but it is not always available, as the sun does not shine at night or during cloudy weather.
Wind power is a form of renewable energy that uses the wind’s energy to generate electricity. It is a clean and efficient way to generate electricity, but it is not always available, as the wind does not always blow.
