Four new Indian nuclear power plants to be operational in 2009

INDIA - India is looking forward to start four nuclear power plants which will add 1660 MW to the national energy basket, according to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).

The AEC expects two plants in Rajasthan and one plant in Kaiga to be operational in 2009. The Kudankulam power plant may also become operational in this year.

Currently, nuclear power constitutes only three per cent of the total electricity generated in the country. However, the Indo-US civil nuclear deal will help speed up atomic power generation in the country, reported Projects Today.

Tesla updates Supercharger billing to add cost of electricity use for other than charging

LOS ANGELES - Tesla has updated its Supercharger billing policy to add the cost of electricity use for things other than charging, like HVAC, battery thermal management, etc, while charging at a Supercharger station. 

For a long time, Tesla’s Superchargers were free to use, or rather the use was included in the price of its vehicles. But the automaker has been moving to a pay-to-use model over the last two years in order to finance the growth of the charging network.

Not charging owners for the electricity enabled Tesla to wait on developing a payment system for its Supercharger network.
