Goa — Verification Report (May 2026)

Page verified: /states/goa · Retrieved: 2026-05-30. Tolerance: ±5% / ±2pp.

Peak-demand fields (distinguished)

The Goa page exposes several distinct demand fields — these are not interchangeable, and the headline verdict must compare like with like.

Field on page	Displayed (2026-05-30)	Notes
Current demand	482 MW	Real-time instantaneous load
Today's peak	484 MW at 10:00 IST	Intraday maximum so far today
Two-year peak (tile)	484 MW on "2026-05-29"	Understated — see IEA-1198 below
All-time peak (separate field)	864 MW on "2025-05-14"	Matches CEA/CEIC record (headline anchor)

Findings

• Headline peak reconciles exactly. The page's separate all-time peak field (864 MW, "2025-05-14") matches the authoritative CEA/CEIC all-time record for Goa (≈864 MW, recorded May 2025) within tolerance (✅). The headline peak delta is ~0%. (The CEIC page returns HTTP 403 on direct fetch; its value was taken from the indexed CEA/CEIC search result and corroborates the page's all-time figure.)

• Two-year-peak tile understates by ~44% (484 MW vs the true all-time 864 MW). This is the known systemic two-year-peak understatement — maps to IEA-1198; no new fix-ticket proposed. It is a tile-scope artifact (rolling two-year window vs all-time record), not a data error in the underlying record, which the all-time field reports correctly.

• Installed capacity is a basis distinction, not an error. The Goa page currently shows no installed-capacity MW total — only a real-time fuel-mix percentage for the current hour (Wind 74.6% / Solar 25.4%). CEA's allocation-wise table reports Goa's allocated share = 619.47 MW (Coal 492.29, Gas 19.67, Nuclear 41.68, Hydro 2.00, RES* 65.83 MW; Thermal subtotal 511.96; verified against the Goa Sub-Total row of the Aug-2025 Western-Region allocation-wise report). Goa owns essentially no large in-state generation and is supplied almost entirely by Central-sector allocation, so its physical in-state capacity is far below its allocated share — this is the physical-vs-allocated basis issue (IEA-1199), not a tolerance failure. Because the page exposes no same-basis MW total today, there is no like-for-like number to fail; the allocated figure is reported here for reference.

• AT&C losses and RPO compliance are explicitly marked "not yet published" on the page — honestly carried as unverified. The residential tariff (₹1.96/kWh, 0–100 slab) is displayed but no JERC tariff order was retrieved to confirm it independently, so it is left unverified rather than asserted PASS.

Methodology

Live values read from the Goa page on 2026-05-30; authoritative values quoted with source + retrieval date. CEA capacity taken from the Aug-2025 allocation-wise PDF (/tmp/cea_ic.txt), Goa Sub-Total row: GrandTotal = 619.47 MW (re-confirmed the row belongs to Goa — it sits between the all-India Grand-Total header and the Gujarat block, with Central-sector Coal 492.29 / Gas 19.67 / Nuclear 41.68 matching). No value interpolated. First-pass artifacts corrected: (a) the headline peak now compares the page's all-time field (864 MW) vs the CEA record rather than the two-year tile; (b) the large negative "capacity tolerance failure" was removed — the page shows no installed-capacity total, so capacity is reported as a basis reference (IEA-1199), not a failure.
