Peak power deficit in the country fell to 5.4 per cent at 7,556 MW in April, from 7.4 per cent a year ago due to increased capacity and lower electricity consumption by states. The decline in consumption in certain north Indian states was due to weak intra-state network for dissemination of electricity. As per the latest data by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the total requirement in the country last month was 1,40,998 MW, as against the supply of 1,33,442 MW – a peak power deficit of 5.4 per cent.
