Assam is reeling under severe power crisis as the shortfall in availability of power during the peak load hours is around 230 MW and it is around 170 MW during the off-peak load hours, forcing the Assam State Electricity Board to take recourse to frequent power cuts. However, the situation, ASEB sources said, is expected to improve significantly with the 100 MW Karbi Langpi hydel project back on the grid by the first week of May. The project is under shut down for annual maintenance since April 17.
