Evening peak prices has gone even higher reaching Rs 8/kWh (US$125/MWh) on September 12. Gujarat's state grid operator started to operate its CCGTs on LNG to reduce its power purchase costs. Other utilities which face difficulty passing through the higher costs could be resorting to load shedding. In this insight, we assess why India's power supply availability is at stress.
