Govt to take steps to meet 230 GW peak demand in April 2023

13 Dec 2022 CW Team

According to Power Secretary Alok Kumar, the government will take every action possible to satisfy the 230 GW single-day peak demand anticipated in April 2023.

A meeting to examine the readiness to meet the high electricity demand anticipated in April of next year was presided over by Power Minister R K Singh.

The conference was attended by several government officials as well as the main representative from the electricity ministry, Ghanshyam Prasad, Chair of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA). The government will base its actions on two criteria on the meeting's outcome.

It will guarantee that there will be adequate power producing capacity. To that end, corporations have been told to perform facility maintenance so there won't be a problem.

In April of the following year, the demand might reach 230 GW, according to Kumar. According to official statistics, the maximum demand for electricity across all of India at 2:51 PM on April 26, 2022 was 201.066 GW.

The second topic covered at the meeting was how to maximise coal output and distribution. According to him, regular review meetings are held with the coal and railway ministries in this regard. When asked if the government will also keep the option of coal imports open to maintain supply of the dry fuel, the official stated, "We (government) will do whatever we will have to do to ensure continuous power supply (in April)."

To avoid a scarcity of coal during the monsoon, the electricity minister earlier this year urged state power generation companies (GENCOS) to quickly lift the complete amount of coal given under the rail-cum-road (RCR) mode and import 10% of the required amount of coal for blending.
