Thanks to Subhagya scheme, India breaches 180GW of peak power demand

Op India  

India has crossed the benchmark of 180 gigawatt in peak power demand, which was 9.8% higher than the highest level recorded in Financial Year 2018. Peak power demand increase was just 2.6% between FY15 and FY18. The average duration of power cuts was 7 hours and 8 minutes in October 2018, 1 hour 5 minutes shorter than October 2017. With increased investments and clean energy installations, as well as the world’s largest renewables auction market, India ranks 2nd after Chile in the 2018 Climatescope report by energy researcher BloombergNEF.
