Capacity addition exceeds target, power generation falls short in October 2010

While the power sector managed to exceed the capacity addition goal set by the power ministry for the month of October 2010, power generation again fell short, although barely. Against a capacity addition target of 1,473.50 MW set for the month, a total of 2,085 MW was actually achieved, a 41.5% excess. The scenario was similar in October 2009, when a capacity of 1,334 MW was added, against the target of 1,019 MW.
  • Around 70,558.42 million units (MU) were actually generated in the country during October 2010, cumulatively, against the targeted total of 71,202.96 MU, implying a 99.09% achievement, a shortfall of 644.54 MU. The corresponding achievement for October 2009 was recorded as 95.86%.
  • For reference purposes, the website carries here, capacity addition and generation data for the month of October 2010. The data, disaggregated with respect to all four major sources -- thermal, hydro, nuclear and renewable-- is contrasted against the corresponding targets and achievement in power generation and capacity addition for the same period of the previous year.
