Centre Increases Power Allocation For Uttarakhand, Now State To Get 480 MW From Central Pool

Dehradun: The Centre has raised Uttarakhand's additional power quota by 180 MW and extended it until June 30, 2025.

Officials have stated that this increased quota from the central pool will ensure residents have uninterrupted electricity throughout the winter months.

On September 26, the Centre allocated an additional 300 MW of power to Uttarakhand until March 31, 2025. With the latest increase, the total additional power from the central pool will now reach 480 MW for the state.

Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Energy Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for this. Dhami had met Union Energy Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and requested for allocation of additional power to Uttarakhand from the central pool as the gap between demand and availability of electricity in the state was continuously increasing.

“Thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Energy Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for approving 480 MW additional power to Uttarakhand from the central pool. It will enable people of the state to get uninterrupted electricity even in winter,” CM Dhami said.
