Peak demand may reach 2.29 lakh MW
The Ministry of Power can issue such instructions in special circumstances under the Electricity Act. According to the Ministry of Power, the peak demand for electricity can reach 2.29 lakh MW by April this year itself, which will be the highest ever. Last year, the peak demand in summer was estimated at 2.15 lakh MW. From March 16, instructions have been issued to all coal-based power plants, including those based on imported coal, to produce electricity at full capacity for the next three months. So that there is no shortage of electricity in summer.
The government will decide the price of electricity
