No bilateral advance procurement planned: NRPC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Srinagar, Jun 10: Despite an increase in power generation, Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh are facing peak 250 Megawatts (MWs) deficit during non-solar hours in several blocks.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, there has been no bilateral advance procurement scheduled.<\/p>\n

According to the official documents available with the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Northern Regional Power Committee (NRPC) in a month ahead RA analysis observations said that the regions were facing 250 MWs power deficit.<\/p>\n

\u201c250 MW peak deficit is observed during non-solar hours across some blocks, where no bilateral advance procurement is scheduled,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n

The committee however said that the gap is proposed to be managed through the short term market during non-solar periods.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, NRPC in a Technical Coordination Committee (TCC) discussion said that J&K representative informed that with the availability of hydro power and low demand in summer months, power position in J&K is expected to be comfortable<\/p>\n

The Committee has also asked the SLDC of J&K to share the details of further tied up and arrangements to meet the peak demand with NRLDC and NRPC.<\/p>\n

Pertinently, in the first week of June-2026, KNO reported that deficiency in reactive power support has left the J&K grid gasping for voltage stability.<\/p>\n

The severe voltage triggered by insufficient reactive compensation in J&K is raising serious questions about the region\u2019s power reliability.<\/p>\n

The authorities had said, \u201cDue to inadequate reactive compensation in J&K State Transmission Utility (STU) network, severe low voltages have been observed in J&K grid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reactive power compensation is the management of reactive power to improve the efficiency, stability, and power quality of an Alternating current (AC) electrical system.<\/p>\n

In May-2026, KNO reported that authorities have revealed power voltages in Jammu and Kashmir have slumped to severe low levels.<\/p>\n

As already reported by this news agency, Jammu and Kashmir has indicated that a power load requirement of up to 7 Gigawatts (GWs) by the coming five years needs to be considered in the winter season\u2014signalling major infrastructure upgrades to avoid seasonal blackouts.
