Following is the Statement of the Power Ministry on Power shortage in Uttar Pradesh:
"Electricity being a Concurrent subject, supply and distribution of electricity in a State is the responsibility of the concerned State Government / State Power Utility, which decides the priorities of power supply to various areas within the State. Government of India supplements the efforts of the State Governments by supplying power from Central Generating Stations. Uttar Pradesh has presently been allocated 5,303 to 5,386 MW power from the Central Generating stations including 4,708 MW of firm allocation and 595 to 678 MW from unallocated power of Central Generating Stations. The unallocated power presently allocated to Uttar Pradesh is 300 MW more than the power allocated during June,2009. The power allocated to Uttar Pradesh from the Central Generating stations happens to be maximum among all the States /UTs in the country.
Government of India is not responsible for disruption in power supply to any part of the State of Uttar Pradesh as the responsibility for supply of power exclusively falls in the domain of the State Government".
