Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: d) All of the above
Power outages are a concern in some parts of Assam due to insufficient generation capacity, transmission losses, and overloading of the grid.
- Insufficient generation capacity means that there is not enough power being generated to meet the demand. This can be due to a number of factors, such as old or outdated power plants, not enough investment in new power generation, or natural disasters that damage power plants.
- Transmission losses occur when power is lost as it is transmitted from the power plant to the consumer. This can be due to a number of factors, such as old or outdated transmission lines, not enough investment in new transmission lines, or natural disasters that damage transmission lines.
- Overloading of the grid occurs when too much power is being drawn from the grid at the same time. This can be due to a number of factors, such as a sudden increase in demand, such as during a heat wave, or a power plant outage.
All of these factors can contribute to power outages in Assam.
