The power sector put up a laudable show during the month of May 2010, as both peak deficit and energy shortage, the two key indicators of the power and energy availability situation, have registered a significant dip from the corresponding figures for the previous month. During the month ended May 31, 2010, peak deficit fell, from 15.1% in April 2010, to 12.8%, while energy shortage deceased to 11.4%, from the 14.6% registered a month earlier.
As per the `Monthly Power Supply Report`, released by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), the western region of the country experienced the highest peak deficit, of 18%, or 6,788 MW, followed by the northeastern region, with a registered shortage of 16.2%, or 256 MW and the northern region with 11.4%, or approximately 3,804 MW, shortfall. Meanwhile, the eastern and southern regions faced supply deficits of 10.6% and 8.7%, respectively.
During the month, against a total peak demand of 1,16,757 MW, only 1,01,818 MW of power was actually available in the country, resulting in a deficit of 14,939 MW.
