Despite a few electricity cuts in the recent past, Haryana Power Minister Ranjit Singh Chautala Monday insisted that the state government was fully prepared to beat the summer heat by supplying adequate power supply.
Official sources said the state witnessed a few power cuts because of the gap between demand and supply recently with the increase in temperature little early this year. The state has an average demand of 6,400 MW which reaches 7,400 MW during the peak hours against the availability of 6,000 MW.
However, Chautala said that there was a shortage of only 600MW for two days but now they have started getting additional 1,000 MW from the banking system. “Under this system, we give electricity to Kerala and Tamil Nadu during winters.
