Power surplus is ‘limited’

We may have a situation of power surplus in some pockets of the sector but may not be equally distributed all along the country.

Power is not equally distributedOn 2nd August, Power Minister Piyush Goyal said that, according to the Load Generation Balance Report (LGBR) for the year 2016-17 published by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), surplus power is anticipated for 1.1 per cent in terms of energy and 2.6 per cent in terms of peak. According to the Load Generation Balance Report (LGBR) for 2016-17, the centre has set a target of generating 1,178 billion units with overall surplus of 1.1 per cent and peak surplus of 2.6 per cent.
This shows two clear intentions of the government, first to push even more on capacity addition through renewable energy sources which is clear from the LGBR and second is the enhancement of the transmission lines. The distribution of renewable energy sources to the energy deficit regions likely to be the key to this surplus situation and government may put full efforts on that.
