IIOJK’s power shortage intensifies as local electricity supplied to Northern India

Srinagar: The power crisis in occupied Jammu and Kashmir has reached alarming proportions, with the territory struggling to meet its electricity demands.

According to Kashmir Media Service, despite generating significant amounts of power locally, a substantial portion is transmitted to Northern India, leaving residents to face frequent outages and disruptions. The situation worsens during winter months when demand peaks, prompting concerns about the management of the region’s energy resources.”

The Chenab River, home to major hydroelectric projects has seen its water levels drop drastically, impacting power production. The river has the potential to generate 16,000 megawatts of electricity.

“Water levels affect our power generation,” said an official from the Baglihar power project. “In summer, we produce 900 megawatts at full capacity, but in winter, production drops to nearly half.”

This reduction poses significant challenges, especially in occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Unscheduled power cuts become frequent as the locally generated power is transmitted to northern India, leaving the residents of occupied Jammu and Kashmir to cope with outages.

Hydropower from Chenab is transmitted to the northern grid for distribution. While the Power Grid Corporation of India claims alternative energy sources can offset reduced output, power shortages persist.
