The country’s northern and southern regions are slated to face peak power shortages during this financial year despite the position of overall surplus in power availability.
The Load Generation Balance Report (LGBR) for 2018-19 collated by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) forecasts a peak power deficit of 1.2 per cent for the northern hemisphere and still higher shortage of 4.5 per cent for the southern province. Overall, the country will have energy availability at 4.6 per cent in excess of the projected requirement. Peak power supply is also tipped to be in a surplus of 2.5 per cent.
