All India Generation vs Delivered – 99 GW* / 99,000 MW* (40%) of power is wasted every second

Posted on June 6, 2013 by Ritesh Pothan

All India power generation as on April 2013 is 224 GW

Whereas the actual consumption is just 125 GW

224 GW – 125 GW = ~99 GW* is lost in Generation, Transmission and Distribution

Click here for the April 2013 Generation Report and the CEA Annual 2012 – 2013 LGBR for the entire analysis

* the emphasis is on the huge gap, the 99GW will vary according to TOD, Season, and many other reasons
