India's daily peak demand is regularly 12% higher than peak supply but
the shortage is managed through rolling or controlled blackouts that cut
electricity supply deliberately to specific locations to balance supply
and demand.
America typically builds 10,000 to 20,000 megawatts of new
generation every year. India has built only about 50,000 megawatts of
new generation in the
last 5 years or about 5% of the total US generating capacity.
The basic problem in India is that daily demand outstrips supply.
This will be exaggerated as growth makes new energy demands. But these
energy demands pale in comparison to their national expectations. How
can an economy grow in such uncertainty?
