On Tuesday, the energy demand in the state stood at 192 million units, whereas last week it had crossed 230 million units. According to energy officials, there is no shortage of energy in the state as of now, because due to climatic conditions the demand for energy in the domestic sector as well as in the agricultural sector is very low.

Every year, the state government provides more than Rs 11,000 million as subsidy to discoms to implement free energy for agriculture and certain communities and with the implementation of the Grih Jyoti scheme, it is possible that the subsidy will reach Rs 15,000 million. Will go. Since more than 80 per cent of households in the state consume less than 200 units, the government will have to levy additional charges, which means all those paying energy bills will stop paying once the scheme is implemented. According to officials, the actual energy production capacity of the state is increasing to 18.453 MW.
