18 Feb 2013 Evaluate

As per the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) report, India witnessed power shortage of over 8,200 MW in January when electricity consumption is maximum, mainly on the back of scarcity of fuel. Further, on an average 30 power stations had less than a week's stock of coal at their disposal in this month, the report added.

As per the CEA data, in the month of January this year, the electricity consumption has increased by 9.8 percent or 8,291 MW to 84,616 MW of which 76,325 MW was met. In the nine month period (April-January) of this fiscal, the peak power deficit was close to 9% or 73,381 MW. Even though there is a drop in the peak power deficit in January, a gap of 9.8 percent is alarming.

The total power demand during the period was 833,230 MW of which 759,849 MW was met, while the country had suffered a peak power shortage of 12,295 MW in December last year.

Regarding the power shortage among states, it said that country’s southern region including Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh were the worst affected with 15.6% or 3,852 MW of power deficit. Meanwhile, northern region, which includes Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, was the second-most affected with 10.2% power deficit or 2,549 MW.
