Based on the estimated requirements of power supply as per the National Electricity Policy published in 2005, the recommended consumption is 1000 units per Capita per year or 2.74 kWh per capita per day demand which included domestic, commercial, industrial and other requirements.
The actual estimation of power can be made based on the industrial development (type and extent), commercial development, domestic and other requirements. The provision of one electric substation of 11KV for a population of 15,000 can be considered as general standard for electricity distribution.
