India targets 16% increase in coal production in 2020-2021 to 700 Mt
The Secretary of Coal of India has confirmed that India's coal production would rise to 700 Mt in the current fiscal year (April 2020-March 2021), corresponding to a 16% annual increase, despite the abundance of fuel stock (75 Mt at Coal India Ltd's mines and nearly 45 Mt of stocks at power plants) and reduced demand from the power sector. The government bets on rising electricity demand when summer comes and aims to raise production before the monsoon, which usually decreases coal production.

German gas TSOs present a 10-year €8.5bn investment plan
The Association of German Gas Transmission System (FNB) has launched a public consultation on its €8.5bn investment plan for gas grid expansion over the 2020-2030 period, with the objective to offer capacity for increased imports. The association, which regroups among others Gascade Gastransport, Ontras Gastransport and Open Grid Europe, intends to add 1,746 km of new gas pipelines and compressor capacity of 405 MW over the next decade. According to the FNB, the gas supply capacity needs to be increased in Baden-Wuerttemberg, as the region will become more dependant on gas-fired power plants due to the closure of nuclear and coal plants. In addition, major gas projects are outlined, such as the Eugal gas pipeline project connecting the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in northern Germany to the the Czech border and a couple of proposed LNG import terminals. The consultation is open until 29 May 2020.
