Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has said that Punjab maybe power surplus overall for the financial year but in the summer months of June, July and August, it is likely to face energy shortage from 6 to 11%. It does not take in to account the prediction that monsoon will be 88% of normal. In case of delayed or weak monsoon, the power requirement will increase further, leading to a greater electricity crisis. Punjab’s monthly power requirements in peak season have been assessed based on the past trend, and suggest that the state will face it maximum power shortage of 11% in August, when the supply will be 6,062 million units (MU) against a demand of 6,800 MU. In July, shortage will be a little more than 10%, as the demand will be 6,880 MU and the supply restricted to 6,187 MU.
