ICRA Forecasts Stable Thermal PLF and 6% Power Demand Growth for FY2025

ICRA, a credit rating agency, has forecasted stable Plant Load Factor (PLF) for thermal power plants and expects a 6% growth in electricity demand for the fiscal year 2025. This projection reflects cautious optimism amidst ongoing efforts to stabilize and expand India's power sector amid various economic and regulatory challenges.

According to ICRA's analysis, thermal power plants are likely to maintain stable PLF levels, indicating consistent operational efficiency and utilization rates. This stability is crucial for ensuring reliable electricity supply to meet the growing energy needs of industrial, commercial, and residential consumers across the country.

The anticipated 6% growth in power demand signals recovery and growth in electricity consumption, driven by economic revival, industrial expansion, and increased consumer spending. ICRA's projections consider factors such as improved electricity access, infrastructure development, and government initiatives promoting sustainable energy sources.

Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and global supply chain disruptions, India's power sector is poised for growth supported by policy measures, investments in infrastructure, and technological advancements. ICRA's outlook underscores the resilience of the thermal power segment and its role in meeting the nation's energy requirements.

Looking ahead, ICRA emphasises the importance of continued investments in power generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure to sustain growth momentum and ensure energy security. The agency's forecasts provide valuable insights for stakeholders in planning and executing strategies to enhance efficiency and reliability in India's evolving power landscape.
