India reports peak power deficit of over 12,000 MW in FY13

15 Apr 2013 Evaluate

As per the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) report, the country faced a huge power deficit of over 12,000 MW during the peak hours in the FY13. The total power availability was 1,23,294 MW against the peak demand of 1,35,453 MW in the last fiscal. Lack of fuel supply such as gas, coal shortage and less rains in the eastern and north-eastern regions were cited as the primary reasons for the power deficit.

The Southern region was worst affected due to power shortage as demand for electricity overshot by 6,052 MW against availability of 31,586 MW during the peak hours. Among the states, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir and Bihar were the worst affected with a peak power deficit of over 20 percent during the fiscal FY13. 

In India, electricity is produced with the help of coal, crude oil, water and natural gas. Currently, the resources allocated to energy supply are not sufficient for narrowing the gap between energy needs and energy availability. As on March, 2011 country's estimated coal reserves were at about 286 billion tonnes, lignite at 81 billion tonnes, crude oil at 757 million tonnes and natural gas at 1,241 billion cubic metre (BCM). Coal was already being imported for thermal plants and the import of LNG and production of shale gas could be the options for gas-based power generating stations in the long term.
