Arunachal Pradesh is going to face a power shortage of 156 MU (million units) during the current fiscal based on a projection made by Shillong-based North East Regional Power Committee (NERPC), reported PTI. "The likely power position released by NERPC indicates that during 2014-15 there is a shortfall of 156 MU against the demand of 793 MU," Power Secretary K Tayeng said in a statement. He said 91 per cent of the total power requirement of the state was being fulfilled from the allocation of the central sector share, as per the media reports. "The power supply availability to the state is entirely dependent on central sector generating stations in the north eastern region as well as the technical soundness of the North East Grid. "Power production problems in the central sector generating stations, including regional grid faults, lead to power supply disruption in the state," he said. Of the total central share allocation (130 MW), 80% of power was from hydro power projects and therefore the production of power in the north eastern region essentially depends on good monsoon and resultant discharge in the catchment areas, he said
