Despite buying power, state to face shortfall: MSEDCL
MAHARASHTRA WILL still face a shortfall of 1,500 MW per day despite extra power being purchased by the Maharashtra State Electric Distribution Company (MSEDCL).
Vijay Singhal, Managing Director of MSEDCL told The Indian Express, “Since the pandemic subsided, there has been a demand for power in all the states due to a surge in activities. Each state is facing a coal shortage.”
He said, “At present, the demand in Maharashtra has shot past 28,000 MW per day and there is a shortfall of nearly 4,000 MW per day. In some places, private power generation companies were demanding as high as Rs 20 per unit, but later the Government of India capped the price at around Rs 12 per unit.
