Andhra Pradesh — Verification Report (May 2026)

Peak-demand fields (read precisely)

The page exposes four distinct demand values; they are NOT interchangeable:

Field	Page value · date	Meaning
Current/live demand	10,880 MW · 2026-05-30 06:00 IST	Instantaneous draw
Today's peak	12,527 MW · 2026-05-30	Highest so far today
Two-year peak (tile)	12,526.6 MW · 2026-05-29	Rolling 2-yr max — understates (see IEA-1198)
All-time peak (field)	15,016 MW · 2026-05-21	Record day peak — headline anchor

The headline peak verdict compares the page's all-time peak field against AP's authoritative record.

Findings

• Headline peak reconciles exactly (✅, Δ 0.0%): The page's all-time-peak field shows 15,016 MW dated 2026-05-21, matching AP's authoritative record day peak of 15,016 MW set on 21 May 2026 (APTransco/SLDC, alongside an all-time energy consumption of 288.9 MU and an evening peak of 12,474 MW). Confirmed across two independent reports (The Hans India; PingTV). This is the headline anchor and it passes cleanly.
• Two-year-peak tile understates by 16.6% (⚠️ systemic, not a new bug): The rolling two-year tile reads 12,526.6 MW (2026-05-29) — below the true record of 15,016 MW. This is the known systemic two-year-peak understatement mapped to IEA-1198; it warrants no new fix-ticket. The correct record is already carried by the page's separate all-time field (row 1), so the page is not missing the number — only the two-year tile derives a lower one. (Note: the first-pass draft mislabeled this tile as 12,527 MW, which is actually "today's peak"; the tile value is 12,526.6 MW.)
• Installed capacity +12.2% — physical-vs-allocated basis, not an error (⚠️ IEA-1199): The page shows 31,844.2 MW = sum of power-plant capacity physically located in AP (coal 13,890 + RE 12,888.03 + hydro 3,290 + gas 1,739.4 + diesel 36.8, from /infra-counts). CEA's allocation-wise table reports AP's allocated share of 28,387.08 MW (Andhra Pradesh Sub-Total row, Grand Total column, As-on 31.08.2025). These are two different bases: a physically-in-state total reasonably runs higher than the allocation-wise figure because some in-state central/shared generation is allocated to other states. Per methodology this is the physical-vs-allocated basis issue (IEA-1199), not a tolerance failure. (AP is mainland and present in the allocation-wise table — verified the Sub-Total row directly precedes the Telangana block.)
• Regulatory anchors 4–7 unverified: AT&C losses, RPO compliance, residential tariff and real-time interchange could not be cross-referenced against a primary regulator/PFC/SR-LDC source within this run. Marked unverified rather than guessed (hard no-fabrication rule).

Methodology

Live values read from the Andhra Pradesh page on 2026-05-30 (current demand, today's peak, two-year-peak tile, all-time-peak field). Installed capacity and fuel split read from /api/states/andhra-pradesh/infra-counts (the endpoint returned HTTP 500 via WebFetch but resolved cleanly via curl). Authoritative peak quoted with source + retrieval date. CEA capacity from the Aug-2025 allocation-wise report (/tmp/cea_ic.txt extract; Andhra Pradesh Sub-Total row → Grand Total column = 28,387.08 MW), with the row confirmed to belong to AP (state-name line 198, Sub-Total line 200, immediately above the Telangana block). No value interpolated.

Verdict

PASS. The headline all-time peak reconciles exactly (Δ 0.0%); the installed-capacity and fuel-split gaps are basis differences (physical-in-state vs CEA-allocated, IEA-1199), not data errors; and the two-year-peak tile understatement is the already-tracked systemic bug (IEA-1198) that the page's own all-time field compensates for. Anchors 4–7 remain explicitly unverified (not failures). No same-basis number is wrong beyond tolerance.
