CIL plans to raise price of coal after treating it to improve calorific value and reduce ash content. The treatment process is called coal beneficiation or washing.
Beneficiation reduces ash content to 27-30 per cent and increases heat value to 5,000 kilocalories per kilogram bringing it at par with imported Indonesian coal.
“CIL will price the washed coal at 15 per discount to Indonesian coal, the cheapest coal imported to India. Washed coal to CIL would cost $28 a tonne leaving around 60 per cent profit margin for the company,” the official said. Indonesian coal costs $45 per tonne at pithead.
The annualised increase in coal price since January 2000 till March 31 2010 is 4.9 per cent.

China's Changing Economy : TreeHugger
Photovoltaics.
But China is not stopping with wind. Although solar photovoltaics (PV) have thus far remained too costly for widespread deployment in the Chinese market, production for export has skyrocketed. Though its PV production before 2002 was near zero, by 2008 China had become the world's number one producer. As costs continue to fall, more domestic PV installations are in store, with plans including a 2,000 megawatt project in the Mongolian desert. This facility, scheduled for completion in 2019, is the largest solar PV proposal in the world to date. Annual Solar PV Production in China, 2000-2008

SPACE.com -- Japan's Solar Sail Is the Toast of Space Science
Researchers from around the world are celebrating what they're calling a new dawn for spaceflight following the success of a Japanese craft propelled by a solar sail.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency spacecraft Ikaros, which launched in May alongside the Venus-bound orbiter Akatsuki, is the first vehicle to have deployed a solar sail and successfully rode the sunlight in deep space.

One Of World's Largest Solar Plants To Be Built In Lopburi Receives Loan From ADB - Thailand Forum
One Of World's Largest Solar Plants To Be Built In Lopburi Receives Loan From ADB - Thailand Forum
The ADB will extend a long-term loan of $70 million or around Bt2 billion and $2 million in grant assistance to building the first phase of the solar power plant with a production capacity of 73 megawatts.
In addition, it purchased 6,000 tons a year of carbon credits.
For loans of more than Bt3 billion, she said Kasikornbank, Bangkok Bank, and Siam Commercial Bank would together lend funding for portions of the first phase of the construction in August.
The second phase of the project has a production capacity of 84 million watts and requires a total investment of Bt9.2 billion. The plant will be commercial launch in 2011.

Solar and Nuclear Costs —The Historic Crossover: Solar Energy is Now the Better Buy

Solar and Nuclear Costs —The Historic Crossover: Solar Energy is Now the Better Buy
Solar photovoltaic system costs have fallen steadily for decades. Meanwhile, projected costs for construction of new nuclear plants have risen steadily over the last decade, and they continue to rise.
Solar and Nuclear Costs —The Historic Crossover: Solar Energy is Now the Better Buy
Summary
Solar photovoltaic system costs have fallen steadily for decades. They are projected to fall even farther over the next 10 years. Meanwhile, projected costs for construction of new nuclear plants have risen steadily over the last decade, and they continue to rise.
In the past year, the lines have crossed in North Carolina. Electricity from new solar installations is now cheaper than electricity from proposed new nuclear plants.
Conclusion
Many U.S. utilities are finding solar and wind energy to be profitable and preferable to risking investments in new nuclear facilities. In fact, Duke Energy considers itself a leader in clean technologies, and indeed is developing significant solar and wind energy projects —but those projects are in other states where Duke must compete for market share.
For many years the U.S. nuclear power industry has been allowed to argue that “there is no alternative” to building new nuclear plants. This is just not true. It is time for the news media and the public to see the compelling evidence that clean, efficient energy is the path forward and to make sure their elected representatives hear this message repeatedly.
