The Power Outlook Series developed by Vasudha Foundation with support from Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation provides an overview of the current status of India’s power sector with a focus on significant and emerging developments. The outlook series aims to develop a more informed understanding of the power sector and act as a tracking tool for stakeholders. ‘Unpacking the impact of electricity demand’ is third in the series of India Power Outlook Reports.
The Volume 1 and 2 focused on assessing the implications and trends on the supply side of the system. The Volume 3 exclusively looks at unpacking the impacts of electricity demand across the power sector value chain. It dovetails the generation related challenges like forced outages, capacity delays, supply chain hurdles etc. to various attributes of consumption such as low demand, newer disruptions and the state of electricity distribution in India. The Volume further provides a brief assessment of the trickle-down effect of the Covid-19 pandemic across the power sector.
