Tamil Nadu has not only transformed itself from a power deficit to
surplus position but also emerged as the state with largest energy
surplus of 11,649 million units in 2016-17 in the country.
As against the state’s estimated energy requirement of 1,03,808 million units for the year 2016-17, the availability is 1,15,455 MU and hence the surplus will be 11,649 MU, according to the annual Load Generation Balance Report for 2016-17 published by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) which estimates the anticipated power requirements and availability in the different states and also the demand and supply at peak load levels.
Tamil Nadu has attained a surplus status four years after facing a massive deficit of 16,141 MU in 2012-13 when the districts faced a power cut for over 16 hours a day. Tangedco was able to supply power without enforcing scheduled power cuts since 2014 and industries were allowed to consume power without any restrictions since June 2015
Tamil Nadu was able to achieve this turn around in the power supply position with the commissioning of new power projects and signing of long term and medium term power agreements
The “power surplus” Tamil Nadu is followed by Maharashtra (11,333 MU), Madhya Pradesh (8,853 MU), Delhi (5,774 MU), Gujarat (4,380 MU), and Karnataka (3,240 MU)
Note
In contrast, West Bengal faces the highest energy deficit of 7,257 MU in the country followed by Uttar Pradesh (7,044 MU) Bihar (6,656 MU) and Andhra Prad esh (4,136 MU), as per the report
