Nagaland — Data Verification vs CEA / DoP Nagaland / NER-LDC
Verdict · PASS (peak within tolerance) — with documented AT&C / RPO coverage gaps
Nagaland — Verification Report (May 2026)
Page verified: /states/nagaland · Retrieved: 2026-05-30 · Backing data: post-Phase-16 per-state model (forecast generated_at 2026-05-29 22:30 UTC). Nagaland is a small, hydro/import-dependent NE state on the modelled series. Tolerance: ±5% / ±2pp.

Findings
-
Peak demand within tolerance. energymap's all-time peak (210 MW, Feb 2026) sits +4.0% above the CEA/CEIC-tracked all-time high of 202 MW — inside the ±5% gate. For a small modelled-series NE state this is a good result and notably better than the large metered states' "two-year peak" tile (cf. Delhi −15%, TN −6%), because Nagaland's page carries a separate, deeper all-time-peak field.
-
Honest coverage gaps, not wrong numbers. AT&C losses and RPO compliance are surfaced as "not published" rather than fabricated — appropriate for Nagaland, where DISCOM AT&C and RPO figures aren't reliably in the public record. No fix-ticket; tracked as a coverage gap.
