India witnesses peak power deficit at 3.7% in June: CEA

17 Jul 2014 Evaluate

Large power generation capacity addition at nearly 20,000 MW has narrowed India’s peak power deficit for the month of June to 5,295 MW or 3.7 percent of the demand as compared to 7,061 MW or 5 percent in May 2014. The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) reported that country’s total peak power demand was1,42,647 MW last month, of which 1,37,352 MW was met, leaving a peak power deficit at 5,295 MW.

Region wise, north-eastern region comprising Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland was the worst affected, recording a peak deficit of 9.2%. The total demand of Northeastern region during June 2014 was 2,252 MW and supply 2,045 MW. On the other hand, the eastern part of India comprising states such as West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar and Jharkhand was least affected as the demand of the region was 16,628 MW against a supply of 16,342 MW, registering a power deficit on 1.7% in the reported month.

In India, electricity is produced with the help of coal, crude oil, water and natural gas. At present industry installed capacity stands at around 248 GW out of which coal-fired plants account for about 59% and hydro plants accounts for around 17% of India's installed electricity capacity. Acute coal shortage in the country has become primary reason for power deficit in the country. Presently, the Coal India (CIL) is the only producer of domestic coal accounting for around 80 percent of the domestic production. CIL is currently facing various mining issues which are impacting its coal production. On the other hand, India’s gas based installed capacity stands at nearly 8 percent at 20,000 MW of which around 6,000 MW is currently stranded because of unavailability of natural gas.
