No power purchase in spite of availability

The energy efficiency efforts are also having impact.  However there are some constraints on intra regional transmission capacities and discoms ability to pay for power.

  Expressing his views on India’s expected power supply surplus in financial year 2016-17, Babu Babel, Joint Managing Director, Secure Meters Ltd says, “There is no doubt that availability of fuel has improved and so has generation capacity. The energy efficiency efforts are also having impact.  However there are some constraints on intra regional transmission capacities and discoms ability to pay for power. This means that power is not being purchased even though it is available and there is demand. We should also not forget that 50 million households, many in rural India still do not have access to electricity.”
