This was also higher than the target, of 1,33,619 MU, as per the electrical energy generation data released by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA).
According to CEA, thermal, nuclear and hydro power generation exhibited growth rates of 5.25%, 18.33% and 14.70%, respectively, against the corresponding figures of 2009-10. On the other hand, imports from Bhutan exhibited a negative growth of 18.17%, against the 514 MU seen the same period last year.
