Description

Assam perhaps will need to go for load shedding to make up for the shortfall of around 150 MW of power during the coming days, until the onset of the monsoon, said sources in the Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB) here.

As per a very recent estimate, the present peak load hour power demand of the State is around 1,000 MW (900.79 MW, to be precise). It has been overdrawing around 150 MW of power from the Eastern Grid of the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC). But this has now been restricted to 50 MW.
