Read NowHaryana sits within the Northern Regional (NR) grid, a high-load zone characterised by coal-dominant generation and strong agricultural and industrial demand. The state's headline posture as of 1 June 2026: RE accounts for 14.3% of generation in the latest hourly slice, against a carbon intensity of 838.4 gCO2/kWh averaged over the recent ~48h window — among the heavier intensity readings in NR. The open-access charge stack at HT voltage stands at INR 2.95/kWh, a signal of the cost-of-power environment for large consumers. AT&C losses were 11.81% as of FY23 (n=1 DISCOM), placing Haryana in the mid-tier of northern state DISCOM efficiency. A p95 peak deficit of 2.16% (POSOCO PSP daily series) indicates intermittent but non-trivial supply tightness at peak hours. Three incentive categories are active — agricultural pump subsidy, domestic free units, and residential solar capex — though two of these are provisional or modelled estimates. Real-time demand telemetry is not available for the state via current Atlas feeds.
Haryana's generation mix as of 1 June 2026 shows RE at 14.3% of the total hourly slice. Over the preceding ~48h window (30 May 02:30 UTC to 1 June 01:30 UTC), the RE share rose by 11.2 percentage points — a recent window delta reflecting probable diurnal or weather-driven variability and not indicative of a structural multi-year trend (long-term demand CAGR data is not yet integrated). The remaining ~85.7% of generation in the latest slice is attributable to conventional sources, consistent with the high carbon intensity reading of 838.4 gCO2/kWh. On the supply-adequacy side, the p95 of daily peak shortage as a share of peak demand stands at 2.16% (POSOCO PSP series, as of 30 May 2026). A p95 value at this level means that on the worst ~5% of days in the sample, peak deficit reaches or exceeds 2.16% of peak demand — a moderate but operationally relevant shortfall risk, particularly during summer agricultural pumping cycles. Real-time demand in MW is not available for Haryana via current Atlas telemetry feeds; consequently, absolute MW anchoring of this deficit figure is not possible from available data. Transmission ATC and TTC data are also absent from the Atlas database for this state.
At 14.3% RE share in the latest generation slice, Haryana remains materially below the national RE ambition trajectory. The +11.2 pp recent window delta (48h window ending 1 June 2026) signals meaningful intra-day or multi-day swing capacity — likely solar-driven given NR geography — but this is a short-window delta and should not be read as a sustained directional trend. The average carbon intensity over the recent ~48h period is 838.4 gCO2/kWh, a level reflecting the dominance of coal-based dispatch in the state's merit order. For context, intensities at this level are characteristic of grids where RE curtailment or grid balancing constraints suppress RE utilisation below installed-capacity potential. RPO compliance is estimated at 14.2% as of FY23 (provisional/modelled, sourced from HERC tariff orders and Prayas review) — broadly aligned with the current RE share reading, but the provisional nature of this figure warrants caution. Multi-year demand CAGR data is not yet integrated into Atlas, so trajectory analysis of RE penetration relative to demand growth cannot be performed. RPO compliance data is provisional and modelled, not drawn from a verified compliance registry. Together, these gaps limit the ability to assess whether Haryana's RE additions are keeping pace with demand.
Haryana's sole reportable DISCOM efficiency metric is an AT&C loss rate of 11.81% as of FY23 (n=1 DISCOM, PFC Annual Report). This is within the 10–15% band that characterises mid-performing northern DISCOMs, but the single-DISCOM coverage and FY23 vintage limit its representativeness of the current state. The open-access charge stack at HT voltage is INR 2.95/kWh (as of April 2025), covering CSS, wheeling, transmission, and loss charges. This level imposes a meaningful floor on the economics of captive and third-party open-access power for industrial consumers. The p95 peak deficit of 2.16% adds a reliability dimension to DISCOM assessment: persistent peak shortfalls can force costly short-notice market procurement, pressuring DISCOM financials. Residential tariff data is not yet integrated — the Atlas tariff endpoint requires an API key not yet provisioned — and IEX DAM prices are unavailable due to an empty upstream feed, making a full cost-revenue gap analysis impossible from current data.
Over a 1–3 year horizon, Haryana's energy posture presents a mixed picture. The 14.3% RE share and the 11.2 pp recent window delta together suggest that solar generation is beginning to move the dispatch needle on favourable days, but the 838.4 gCO2/kWh average carbon intensity confirms coal's structural dominance. Closing the gap between peak RE performance and average intensity will require both capacity addition and grid flexibility investment. The 2.16% p95 peak deficit indicates that supply tightness at peak hours is a recurring, not occasional, condition; absent demand-side management or storage integration, this will persist as load grows. The INR 2.95/kWh OA charge stack constrains the competitiveness of open-access RE for industrial consumers relative to states with lower regulatory charges. The AT&C loss rate of 11.81% (FY23) suggests headroom for collection efficiency gains that could partially offset DISCOM financial pressure. Three active incentive categories — including residential solar capex — provide a policy foundation, though two are provisional. Key analytical gaps that should be resolved before capital allocation decisions: residential tariff schedule, multi-year demand CAGR, and verified RPO compliance data.
