State Reports (Vol.-III)
Study on `Impact of Restructuring of SEBs’
The graphic below indicates the peak demand in the State vis-à-vis the peak load met
across the years. It may be seen that the peak load met has not shown any appreciable
improvement during the post-reform period

The figure below reiterates the fact that energy deficit situation has worsened from 2003-
04 onwards in comparison to the pre-reform years, while the peak deficit has come down
marginally. While on the one hand, there has not been any generation capacity additions
in the State over the years, the State had to forego considerable hydro capacity to
Uttaranchal in 2002-03, subsequent to its formation as a separate State. Further, the
Tanda Thermal Power Station of 440 MW capacity was also transferred to NTPC in
2000-01.
