Karnataka’s Energy Demand Projections for 2034-35
Karnataka’s “Resource Adequacy” report predicts peak electricity demand to reach 33,310 MW by 2034-35, driven by economic recovery, low rainfall, and the rapid adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs). Prepared by Power Research Consultants and accepted by the government in October 2023, the report outlines the need for 13,466 MW additional capacity and significant renewable energy growth, including solar rooftops and energy storage. It emphasizes maintaining a 20%-30% power reserve for stability. The recommendations await validation by the Central Electricity Authority and approval by the Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC), ensuring sustainable energy strategies for future needs.
