Tripura to buy 80MW additional power for Durga Puja

Agartala: Tripura government is planning to buy 80MW additional power to ensure uninterrupted electricity during Durga Puja, the biggest festival of the state

Power position in Tripura, which was one of the very few power surplus states in Northeast India, is not enough to cater to the growing need of the people.

Ratan Lal Nath, the Power Minister of Tripura told The NE Journal that the state’s power demand is expected to be around 380MW during the Durga Puja.

After reviewing the power position of the state with senior officials of the department, Nath said to ensure uninterrupted power supply during Durga Puja, there will be need to import about 80 MW of power,

In 2021, the state’s peak load demand during Durga Puja was 327MW, which rose to 332MW in 2022, Nath said.

“The Tripura State Electricity Corporation Ltd (TSECL) has taken steps to provide uninterrupted power during Durga Puja. We expect the demand to be around 380MW this year during the festival days,” Nath said.

The state of Tripura now has a steady supply of 300MW power. “The TSECL will arrange an additional 80MW to meet the requirement during Durga Puja,” he added.

Nath hinted at cutting down power sales to Bangladesh to ensure adequate power supply during the festival days. At present, the state sells 100MW power to the neighbouring country daily.

Nath appealed to the Puja organisers to correctly assess their requirement and apply for temporary power connections.

“If the Puja organisers correctly project their power needs, TSECL will take care of it,” Nath said.
