Written By Unknown on Selasa, 21 Januari 2014 | 21.03

India's peak power shortage increased to 4.2 per cent, or 5,547 MW, in December from a month earlier due to lower hydroelectric and wind power production, according to official data. Electricity demand in the country last month was 1,32,786MW, of which 1,27,239 MW was met, data with the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) showed.

The peak power deficit, or shortfall in electricity supply when demand is at the maximum level, was 3.7 percent,or 4,803 MW, in November, according to the CEA. "The prime reasons for increased power shortage is decrease in hydel and wind generation and increase in load, mainly in north India, due to winters," a CEA official told PTI.

The northern states of Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand were the worst affected with a deficit of 7.1 percent, or 2,912 MW. Electricity demand in the region was 40,812 MW and supply was 37,900 MW.
