HT Explainer: Why is Haryana facing power pangs this summer

Hindustan Times  

An early onset of summer coupled with deficient electricity supply has led to Haryana experiencing power shortage for the last couple of weeks. This is primarily due to the Adani Power Ltd and the Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd Mundra collectively not providing about 1,800MW of contracted power and state’s own 600MW second unit of the Rajiv Gandhi Thermal Power Plant at Khedar in Hisar being under a prolonged shutdown for repairs. Assistant editor Hitender Rao explains the power woes of the state: Haryana is short of about 2,400MW power every day. This includes 1,424MW of Adani Power, 380MW of CGPL and 600MW of Rajiv Gandhi Thermal Power Plant in Hisar. As per the Haryana power purchase centre, the projected peak demand will be about 9,821MW in May, 12,026MW in June, 12,698MW in July, 12,002MW in August, 12,162MW in September and 9,356MW in October.
