Power output rises for first time in 5 months
NEW DELHI: For the first time since the Covid-19 outbreak and subsequent lockdowns brought power demand crashing down late March, power output in India registered a growth during the first fortnight of August.
According to provisional power output data released by state-run POSOCO’s National Load Despatch Centre, the amount of energy met by India’s power generation system between August 1-15 stood at 54,990 million units (MU)—around 1.6 per cent higher than the 54,092 MU generated during the same period of the previous year.
