India has now become the 3rd largest
electricity producer as well as consumer in
world. But yet we depend on coal for more
than half of electricity production.
With advancement in technology, energy
demand is rapidly increasing and hence
discussion of power production is essential.
As mentioned, this presentation will focus on
electricity production
and consumption in
two states namely
M.P. and Manipur.

M.P.’s per capita consumption of energy has been
growing at the rate of 7.95%. There is a large scope
of development of this sector as the per capita
consumption is yet much lower than the national
average. Manipur is richly endowed with considerable
Hydro Power Potential and only a fraction of it is
harnessed with ‘The Loktak Hydro Electric Project’
Commissioned in 1984 being the only main source of
power supply in state.
