That's base load power though. It's not enough. You cannot run a grid on base load power because it is insufficiently responsive.
The way it works is that as demand goes up supply has to as well, and as demand goes down, supply has to go down. If supply and demand are not matched you'll get brownout or over-voltage events, and those damage equipment. But peak demand is very variable, so peak demand has to be met with peak supply, and that has to be either renewables (when weather helps) or gas (because it can be brought online and off trivially).
Repeat after me: you cannot run a grid on base load power only. Things will break, and you'll have to roll blackouts if you try.

Rolled blackouts is what they have been trying, but their Indian software expert can't get it to work.
