Uttar Pradesh Optimizes Power Supply Amid Coal Shortage and Load Management
Uttar Pradesh is managing electricity supply amid nationwide coal shortages caused by heavy rainfall affecting thermal power generation. The state's Additional Chief Secretary for Energy, Ashish Kumar Goyal, directed officials to optimize resource use and procure power from all available sources to maintain supply as per the prescribed roster. Despite a 1,500 to 2,000 MW shortfall and limited night-time load shedding in rural areas, efforts continue to provide electricity beyond scheduled hours, with an expected 1,500 MW increase from returning power units soon.
