November 23, 2011. The state government's main wing for power procurement, Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC), has revealed the figures pertaining to peak power demand in Haryana over the next few years. A growing urban and industrial power demand, especially in cities like Gurgaon, would be the main contributing factor in this hike. Current peak demand in the state, registered by the HPPC, is 7385 MW, which by the year 2015, might shoot up to 10,699 MW. The biggest leap in peak demand might be seen by next year, with a possible hike of over 1,800 MW. According to the HPPC, the peak demand for the state for 2012-2013 would be around 9267 MW. Although the state government's power infrastructure is being upgraded, many are left wondering whether the supply figures would be sufficient. Haryana generates around 3230.5 MW in its own thermal power plants, and depends on other states in the country for the rest of its energy requirements.
