Key Power Sector Trends
Demand Trend
a) All-India electricity demand increased by 12.7% YoY during Apr-Sep'21
b) Power demand is on a recovery mode post a transient supply-led downturn; strong demand growth of 3.4%
YoY in first fortnight of October (on a high base of 12%)
c) Increased power demand due to festival/agri season, residential demand (high temperatures) and uptick in
manufacturing
Supply issues
a) Coal crisis driven by low imports at power plants on rising coal prices
b) Resultant power demand- supply deficit and spike in merchant rates only temporary and seasonal
c) Domestic coal-based plants ramp up to bridge the gap
Technological Disruptions
a) Cost of Solar and other Renewables reaching grid parity
b) Development on Storage and Battery technologies
c) Electrification of mobility will cause further shifts from Oil & Gas sector to Electricity
d) Focus on reliability and sustainability of electricity delivery
Increased investment in Transmission
a) Implementation of GNA (general network access) can lead to further growth of spends on transmission
b) Strong need to develop inter-regional transmission networks to connect the producing and consuming regions
c) Increased investment in transmission required to add significant redundancy in the grid to reduce the
destabilisation of the grid due to the intermittent nature of renewable generation
