The primary source of power generation in Kerala is hydropower. In 2020, hydropower accounted for 57.8% of the state’s electricity generation. The second largest source of power generation in Kerala is thermal power, which accounted for 31.8% of the state’s electricity generation in 2020. Solar power and wind power are minor sources of power generation in Kerala, accounting for 7.4% and 3.0% of the state’s electricity generation in 2020, respectively.<\/p>\n

Hydropower is a form of renewable energy that uses the power of moving water to generate electricity. Hydropower plants are typically located on rivers or streams, and they use dams to create reservoirs of water. The water is then released from the reservoir through a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity.<\/p>\n

Thermal power is a form of non-renewable energy that uses heat to generate electricity. Thermal power plants typically burn coal, oil, or natural gas to create steam. The steam is then used to turn a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity.<\/p>\n

Solar power is a form of renewable energy that uses the sun’s energy to generate electricity. Solar panels are typically installed on rooftops or in fields, and they convert sunlight into electricity.<\/p>\n

Wind power is a form of renewable energy that uses the wind’s energy to generate electricity. Wind turbines are typically installed in windy areas, and they use the wind to turn a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity.<\/p>\n

Kerala has a long history of hydropower development. The first hydropower plant in Kerala was commissioned in 1905, and the state now has over 100 hydropower plants. Hydropower is a major source of electricity in Kerala, and it is expected to continue to play an important role in the state’s energy mix in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
