Manipur Faces 90 MW Power Shortage, Rotational Load Shedding Reintroduced
Manipur is experiencing a 90 MW electricity shortfall, receiving about 180 MW against a peak demand of 270 MW, leading to the reintroduction of rotational load shedding. The shortage stems from reduced hydropower due to erratic rainfall, decreased thermal power from coal supply issues, and limited power availability in the market. Despite available funds, securing additional power remains challenging. Authorities are exploring alternative procurement options and urge consumer cooperation during power cuts to stabilize the grid.
