Jharkhand is drawing 2,404 MW as of 2026-06-18T05:00:00+00:00 IST, sourced from the India Energy Atlas state-page-live snapshot.
Renewables (solar, wind, hydro, nuclear) account for 0.0% of in-state generation in Jharkhand as of 2026-06-18T05:00:00+00:00 IST.
Jharkhand's current grid carbon intensity is 950 gCO2/kWh as of 2026-06-18T05:00:00+00:00 IST, computed from the metered fuel mix using CEA v18 lifecycle emission factors.
Today's peak demand in Jharkhand fell at 09:30 IST. Long-run peaks land in the evening (7-9 pm IST) on the residential lighting load.
Distribution in Jharkhand is handled by one or more state-licensed DISCOMs; see the DISCOM card on the state page for the live roster.
The day-ahead demand forecast for Jharkhand runs at single-digit MAPE; we publish the rolling 30-day MAPE on the State MAPE History card so readers can audit it themselves. Live demand comes from the SLDC scrape when available; non-SLDC states use the Atlas DISCOM disaggregation pipeline (Tier-A/B/C provenance, P10/P50/P90 bands).

Demand's sensitivity to temperature (MW per degree) is what turns a heatwave forecast into a load forecast. A high, tight slope means cooling load dominates and peaks are weather-driven and forecastable; a weak or noisy slope means the swing factor is something else — industrial shifts, agriculture, or a data gap worth questioning.

Policy & RE Transition
Renewable Purchase Obligation: MNRE target trajectory vs SERC-reported actual compliance.
Latest actual
Shortfall
A Renewable Purchase Obligation is statutory, not aspirational: a state utility must source a set share of its energy from renewables or pay a penalty. A widening shortfall against the MNRE trajectory is an early signal of either a procurement gap or a banked-REC scramble at year-end — both move power and REC prices.

DISCOM Health
Aggregate Technical & Commercial losses per distribution utility, with multi-year trend.
AT&C (Aggregate Technical & Commercial) loss is the single clearest read on a distribution utility's solvency. Every percentage point is power delivered but never billed or collected; a worsening trend tells you a DISCOM is heading toward the payment delays that ripple back to gencos and IPPs.
Grid reliability
Each cell is a day's unmet peak demand (POSOCO). Green = fully met; redder = larger shortfall — occasional stress days stand out against the reliable run.
