The power supply situation in Nagaland remains critical, with a significant demand-supply gap and continued load shedding. As of December 15, 2024, at 11:00 AM, the state’s power demand reached 137.2MW, while only 89.8MW was available, resulting in a 47.4MW shortfall.
The power shortage has led to substantial load shedding, particularly in major urban centers. Dimapur, the largest load center, experienced a cut of 22MW, while Kohima faced a reduction of 10MW, and Mokokchung saw a 14MW decrease.
Load shedding in Dimapur affected several feeders, including the 66kV Chumu and Sovima, 33kV Referral, Padumpukhuri, Rangapahar army, and 11kV Thilixu-1&2, Chekiye, Naharbari, Kuda, and Electrical Colony.
In Kohima, the affected feeders included 33kV Meluri and Chakhabama, along with 11kV Paramedical, Jakhama Army, TV Center, and Zubza.
Mokokchung load centers, particularly 66kV Mon Town and Zunheboto, along with 33kV Aboi, Chen, Tuli Town, and Changtongya, were also subjected to load shedding.
