Lucknow : It seems there is no end to power woes in Uttar Pradesh. Lucknow and Agra are the only two cities to get 24-hour power supply, at least on paper. The scenario is getting bad to worse across the state. In the last five days, the generation from the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited (UPPCL) has dropped drastically. There is a caution that the situation might get even worse, thanks to the curbs on power import.
The situation was slightly better today due to the 300-MW drop in demand, but in weekdays the demand and supply gap is as high as 2,500 MW. Usually, the demand goes down and generation goes up after rains, but it has not been so this month. The delay in rains and supply of wet coal to thermal power stations has added to the woes.
