Even as the UP Power Corporation Limited claimed that there was no power crisis in Uttar Pradesh, the state continued to reel under power shortage due to a gap of over 2,000 megawatt between demand and supply.
The coal stock position with the thermal power plants of the states remains at critical level with Anpara, Obra, Harduaganj and Parichha units having coal for two to four days.
The UP Power Engineers Association said despite the availability of additional 1,600 MW of electricity, the gap remained at over 2,000 MW.
The total availability of electricity at 2 pm on Sunday was 20,800 MW
