Tamil Nadu’s power requirement is expected to touch 1,86,106 million units in 2031-32, from 1,09,914 million units in 2021-22, according to the 20 th Electric Power Survey of India report from the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) that functions under the Union Ministry of Power.
The CEA conducts the survey of the country every five years for estimating the demand for medium- and long-term periods. The findings of the 19 th survey were published in January 2017. The survey included a demand forecast in an optimistic scenario for 2021-22 to 2031-32, based on the achievement of targets set by the government under initiatives, like the National Hydrogen Mission, aimed at impacting the power demand.
According to the distribution company-wise data shared in the report, Tamil Nadu’s peak demand is expected to touch 28,291 MW by 2031-32, compared with 16,899 MW in 2021-22. Transmission losses are factored into the data.
Among various categories, domestic consumption is expected to increase to 61,575 million units in 2031-32 from 31,606 million units in 2021-22. The share of the domestic category in overall consumption is expected to increase to 38% in 2031-32 from 34% in 2021-22.
The share of industrial consumption is expected to increase to 19% in 2031-32 from 18% in 2021-22. The report also did a demand forecast in a moderate scenario, based on lesser realisation of the government targets, with the constraints and unpredictable events accounted for.
In a moderate scenario, Tamil Nadu’s power demand would be 1,75,391 million units in 2031-32. The peak demand would touch 26,662 MW.
