Despite being a power-surplus state, there were unscheduled power cuts in Madhya Pradesh in the past few days.
Now, there are no power cuts as additional power is being purchased, said sources. There was no unscheduled power cut on August 30 in official records, but the reports mention additional power purchase of around 1,163 MW that day.
Despite the unexpected increase, peak demand reached only 11,000MW, which is half the amount for which MP has PPAs.
