An Overview on Pre and Post COVID 19 Electrical Energy Requirement, Consumption and Generation in India and Present Situation

Abstract

India’s electrical energy situation has been diverse always. From conventional electrical energy use to non-conventional electrical energy use, from renewable electrical energy use to non-renewable electrical energy use, India has used its potential in every from of electrical energy sector, and tries to generate more electrical energy to satisfy the required demand. From 2019 to 2020, there was a sudden discontinuation in electrical energy generation in India because of the worldwide Covid 19 pandemic situation that resulted in lockdown and closing of schools, colleges, factories, transport and many other sectors that requires electricity. This reduced demand resulted in reduced electrical energy generation. This paper provide an overview over the electrical energy situation in 2019, 2020 pandemic situation, its recovery after 2020 and current electrical energy situation.
