A Central Electricity Authority review has said that India suffered a power generation loss of over 11.46 per cent, in 2011-12, on account of fuel shortage, transmission bottlenecks and an equipment proÂblem. All India electricity generation in the country during 2011-12 has been at 876.89 bu. The increased forÂced outages were due to incÂreased forced shutdown of units due to coal supply problem and transmission constrÂaints and equipment problems of some new units, the CEA report said.
The report said 59.87 per cent of the total forced shut downs were of duration of up to 24 hours. Around 39 per cent outages were of duration varying from 1 to 25 days and only 1.45 per cent of shut downs were for more than 25 days.
