Electricity – supply and demand
“Economic and sector-specific reforms undertaken over the past 5-10 years have impacted the demand and supply for power in several ways. Sustained economic growth has thus triggered a rapid increase in electricity demand. Peak load increased by an average of 7 percent in 2005-2008 and reached as high as 8.1 percent in 2008/09. The availability of reliable power supply is not only considered a prerequisite for economic growth but also for economic and social prosperity and human development.”
