Wind mill and hydel powers are seasonal, We have to develop alternate technologies to take make improvement, most of the thermal power plants are running at less than 50% capacity due to frequent break downs. In Tamilnadu the power situation got worse in 2008, with 2 hours of daily power cut to over 12 hours now, Tamilnadu has the largest windmill power, which has saved the load shedding at least for 3 months in a year. There needs to be resolution at individual level that every individual taking resolution to save electricity at every possible event , This area cries for more reforms, more new technology but what happened now is less technological up gradation.ĭemand outpacing capacity is good news but for how long, There has to be actions taken at war footing The congestion in the network, a situation where the capacity of the lines are not enough to transfer the generated electricity during June 2012 was 5.07%in Indian energy exchange limited and 49.80% Power exchange India limitedĭue to non-modernization of lines and other apparatus.

Of this only Gujarat is power positive, it has surplus power which can be sold to other states.Īgriculture -21%( nobody has figure for it as it goes without meter) Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. There is a shortfall of about 9.8% about CERC. Our network losses exceed 32% which includes both technical and non technical reasons including theft.While it is 15% or lower in most countries , Though the per capita consumption is low, why there is crisis? It is estimated 96KWH in rural areas and 288 KWH in urban areas, It is several times lesser to 2600 KWH and 6200 KWH in the Europe. How much units of electricity does Indian consume? But still over 30 million of India population has no access to electricity. India generates 205.34 gigawatt of power, what is this number in other words India is the world’s fifth largest power generating countries after USA, China and Russia.
