Yogi Govt’s Electricity Supply Gains Momentum, Demand Of 24,779 MW Met

Lucknow: The Yogi government is actively working to ensure a stable and safe electricity supply throughout the state, despite increasing demand. On October 3, the state met the demand of 24,779 MW. The previous day, on October 2, the electricity supply matched demand of 23,939 MW, while on October 1, the government supplied electricity to meet a demand of 23,445 MW. In terms of meeting electricity demand, Uttar Pradesh outperformed states like Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Punjab.

The intense storms and strong winds that hit the state in late September caused extensive electricity breakdowns, affecting over 100 33 kV substations and more than 500 11 kV feeders in Purvanchal and Madhyanchal regions. UPPCL officers and employees worked tirelessly around the clock to rectify faults and swiftly restore electricity supply in the affected areas.

As part of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan 2026, various maintenance works are being carried out across the state during the designated maintenance month to ensure the smooth functioning of the electricity system. Field teams are performing necessary maintenance on electricity lines and related infrastructure, including pruning tree branches that may come into contact with power lines, cleaning surrounding areas, and other essential tasks to minimize disruptions during adverse weather conditions.

The Yogi government's commitment extends beyond maintaining electricity supply; it also prioritizes providing better and more sensitive services to consumers. In addition to tackling electricity theft, the administration is keen on understanding consumers' needs and involving them as partners in the system rather than adversaries of the department.

Instructions have been issued that the call center must register information about any electricity supply disruption immediately. The consumer should be notified of the reason for the disruption, and after the supply is restored, they should receive a message for confirmation. The government is also emphasizing the regular review of the entire system to ensure a safe, reliable, and uninterrupted electricity supply for the people of the state.
