Power shortfall is likely to surge against by next week when temperature would be on the higher end due to end of cloudy spell. It may be noted that power shortfall had reduced to 3000MW early this week with drop in mercury. The current week has also witnessed a few impressive spells of rain besides heavy presence of clouds in the sky. Resultantly, demand for electricity remained on lower ends that pulled the difference between demand and supply considerably.
Prior to it, sizzling weather had triggered demand two weeks back when power shortfall had touched to 4000MW. Chances of further increase were high but a drop in mercury and early monsoon reversed the shortfall again to a manageable level. Meanwhile, the industrial consumers are not happy with the situation. The Punjab-based textile industry is up in its arms, as the Discos are observing 10 hours a day load shedding on independent feeders. Resultantly, the mills have closed down one shift production while laying off the workers.
