Now, the state police’s cyber cell probe has reportedly revealed that this may have been the work of state-sponsored hackers. Sources told the <a href="https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/mumbai/cover-story/oct-12-blackout-was-a-sabotage/articleshow/79312959.cms">Mumbai Mirror</a> that multiple ‘suspicious’ logins on the supply and transmission utility servers were detected during the month-long probe. Most of these accounts were from other Asian countries, including Singapore. The investigation is currently ongoing to determine whether it was a coordinated attempt to bring down India’s financial capital. State-sponsored hackers targeting India According to a report by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/top-cyber-espionage-groups-that-have-india-in-their-crosshairs/slidelist/79120867.cms">CYFIRMA</a>, at least four different state-sponsored hacking groups have India in their crosshairs. This includes Mission 2025, Apt36, Stone Panda, and the infamous Lazarus Group. However, until more information comes to light, there’s no way to tell whether it was one of these four groups or a new player altogether that attacked India’s power grids. According to Mumbai Mirror, the attempts to break through have been ongoing since February — shortly after the COVID-19 outbreak started to spread. At the time of the Mumbai power outage, Maharashtra’s Energy Minister Nitin Raut told the media that the possibility of sabotage could not be ruled out. “There was a technical problem and the Kharghar unit stopped. There was an islanding failure in Mumbai, which shouldn't have happened. This is the reason that the possibility of sabotage is suspected,” he said. Not the first time a power facility has been breached in the last 6 months Earlier this year in June, there was another breach at the Jammu and Kashmir Power Department's data centres. Not only was the department rendered inoperable for three days, its website and mobile app were also taken down. Neel Kamal Singh from the IT wing of the J&amp;K Power Department <a href="https://twitter.com/jkmediasocial/status/1276213262229450752">told the press</a> that it was a ransomware attack, where all official files and data have been encrypted by the hackers. Before the attack was finally shut down, the hackers were able to compromise at least four servers. India is not alone Methods of warfare are no longer restricted to horses or firepower. Most attacks now happen in the digital space, and India is not alone in its struggles. Canada, for instance, has named China and Russia as primary threats to its cybersecurity. The country’s Communications Security Establishment (CSE) fears that these foreign actors are likely to target Canada’s power supply. The US has also identified China as a threat to its national security, with the possibility of an attack on some of its critical infrastructure.

Mumbai’s massive power cut last month may have been the work of hackers

Maharashtra Energy Minister <keyword id="87586" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Nitin-Raut">Nitin Raut</keyword> on Wednesday said "foul play or sabotage" has not been ruled out in the mega-power shortage that tripped Mumbai Metropolitan Region on Monday and added that stringent action will be taken against all found guilty. Addressing the media, he said that the interim report of a probe committee set up by the state government will submit its report in a week and its recommendations would be implemented. Besides, a central team which came here on Tuesday is also probing into the incident that left large parts of MMR without power for periods ranging from 2-9 hours, playing havoc with the people, railways, traffic, business and commercial activities. "There are certain protocols that must be adhered to whenever any maintenance work is taken up. We shall investigate whether these protocols were followed or not by the officials of MahaVitaran. However, we don't rule out the possibility of sabotage or foul play and stringent action will be taken against those found guilty," Raut asserted. Late on Tuesday, in a cryptic statement, Raut had said: "Possibility of a sabotage cannot be ruled out in respect of the Power trip that resulted in blackout on Monday dated 12.10.20 at Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane." According to officials on Monday, some maintenance work was taken up on the 400KV line in Kalwa and entire load was shifted to the line 2, which in turn tripped owing to some technical glitches and the cascading effect hit almost the entire MMR comprising Mumbai, Thane, parts of Palghar and Raigad districts. While private distributors like Adani, Tata and BEST had restored supply in their respective regions on Monday, some areas served by MahaVitaran remained without power for another around 24 hours, and resumed on Tuesday. Targeting the Minister, Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party legislator Atul Bhatkalkar asked Raut when he came to know it was "a sabotage" whether he informed Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in the matter. However, Raut responded by saying some people were trying to malign his department but the probe reports would reveal everything.

The Power Has Gone Out In Downtown Detroit

Sweating it out due to long <keyword id="6361137" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="power-cuts">power cuts</keyword>, something that northern and western parts of India are habitual of in summertime, may be a thing of the past.

	When Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Indian government took charge two years back, the government had promised to make India free of power cuts in the next two to three years.
 India’s <keyword id="2341785" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Power-minister-Piyush-Goyal">Power Minister Piyush Goyal</keyword> said the work to achieve this is on track.

	When asked about how prepared was the government to tackle the situation in Delhi, Goyal said meetings were conducted with the Delhi government and the situation was also reviewed in the national capital.

	“The work, which I had initiated here a year and a half ago, is progressing on various fronts to augment and strengthen the capacity of Delhi to withstand increased demands or support or provide for increased demand particularly in the summer months,” he said.

	Goyal, who is from Mumbai, said he took keen interest in Delhi now as it is his “Karma Bhoomi.

	Another interesting thing that Goyal pointed at was that Mumbai had ever heard of invertors or gensets there.

	Goyal said he had plans to make Delhi free from diesel generators.

	“I have taken concrete steps in Delhi but the NCR will take some time as it includes Gurgaon and Noida– areas where transmission and last mile connectivity or sufficient ability to move large volumes of power is a constraint. States also have to identify this problem and strengthen their transmission capabilities,” said Goyal.

	He enlisted several schemes like UDAY, UJALA, LED bulbs, etc to boost power in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana too.

	“I am working closely with them for 24×7 power for all and UDAY program. States like Uttar Pradesh and Haryana are a part of UDAY 24×7 plans and I do believe that by 2019 they should be able to have adequate capacity. Energy savings schemes like the LED bulbs, smart and efficient agricultural pumps for farmers, energy efficient fans and going forward air conditioners also, all are plans to reduce energy consumption. With reforms like UDAY and UJALA, I am confident of achieving this by 2019 when power cuts will become a thing of the past,” he said.

Almost 50,000 Have Already Lost Power Due To The Northeast Blizzard

Despite the <keyword id="6602196" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Uday-scheme">UDAY scheme</keyword>, the state utilities have to pay an outstanding amount of Rs 22,200 crore to <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=power&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">power</a> stations. 
 
The Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojana (UDAY), which was launched last year to reduce the interest burden and minimise power losses during distribution, was joined by 18 states. 
 
Eight states issued bonds of about Rs 1 lakh crore.

Rajasthan had issued Rs 37, 350 crore in bonds and registered marginal year-on-year fall of Rs 81 crore in its dues to central stations at Rs 1,128 crore as of March end. 
 
Likewise, Uttar Pradesh had issued bond at about Rs 24,330 crore but witnessed <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/India-is-likely-to-spend-1-trillion-on-power-by-2030-says-Power-Minister-Piyush-Goyal/articleshow/50917988.cms">power</a> dues touch from Rs 841 crore to Rs 2,672 crore during the same period. 
 
Haryana had raised Rs 17,000 crore through a bond issue, but reported flat outstanding at Rs 65 crore. 
 
“We need to give the power utilities at least two more year before we start to draw any conclusion. It is too early to draw any conclusion from the increased outstanding," Arvind Mahajan, head of infrastructure and government services at KPMG, told ET. 
 
Meanwhile, ET quoted Sabyasachi Majumdar, senior vice-president at ICRA Ratings, saying the power demand had risen in the last one year. 
 
"It is likely that the total dues would rise as utilities buy more power from generators. The effects of UDAY will start to reflect on the outstanding and balance sheets of utilities only after March 2017. We need to give these power distribution companies an additional year to see any sizeable effect on their financial position," he said.

States to pay outstanding dues of Rs 22,000 crore to power generation stations

Residents of Delhi, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu &amp; Kashmir, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand have to be prepared for <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=power+cuts">power outages</a> as state-run generators have asked <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=discoms">discoms</a> to clear the dues at the earliest. 
 The state run power generators are threatening to cut off supplies unless <keyword id="53091" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="discoms">discoms</keyword> pay up Rs 20,000-crore outstanding bills. Around 80% of the dues are owed by these northern and eastern states and likely to face maximum number of <keyword id="6361137" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="power-cuts">power cuts</keyword>. 
 
The <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Companies-Can-Supply-Power-24X7-Without-Increasing-Tariff-Piyush-Goyal/articleshow/37242272.cms">electricity demand</a> has increased due to deficient and sweltering heat in most parts of the country so much so that farmers’ <keyword id="6368114" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="power-demand">power demand</keyword> touched 1.5 lakh mega watt last week. 
 
Although farmers get power either free or heavily subsidised rates, but payments to the power generators becomes uncertain because the utilities apparently do not have the money to pay this bill. 
 
In Delhi, reportedly, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=BSES+Rajdhani+Power+">BSES Rajdhani Power</a> and BSES Yamuna Power have outstanding dues of about Rs 1,600 crore. 
 
They owe money to central power generators such as National Hydro Power Corporation, Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam, Tehri Hydro Development Corporation, Nuclear Power Corporation of India and Power Grid Corporation of India. 
 
Dues of power distributors in Jammu &amp;Kashmir are over Rs 2,700 crore while Rajasthan-based utilities owe about Rs 1,000 crore to generators. 
 
Among the power generators, Damodar Valley Corporation has the biggest outstanding dues of Rs 8,769 crore and Jharkhand is the biggest defaulter.

Brace up for power outages Delhi, Rajasthan and UP. State-run generators seeking their pound of flesh!

Because of <keyword id="6370003" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="KPTCL">KPTCL</keyword>’s major transmission projects within and outside the city, Bengaluru's power receiving capacity is all set to go threefold. The start-up city would be able to withdraw 7500 MW as opposed to the present 2500 MW, by December next year. 
 
To upgrade the power infrastructure of the city, KPTCL is spending about Rs 1720 crore, while targeting paying consumers like software firms, manufacturing industries, retail malls, and start-ups etc. 
 
Bengaluru takes up 40% of Karnataka's power consumption, and it had always been an issue for the government to transport bulk power into the city from outside sources. This is why, KPTCL is laying new lines from the thermal power stations in north Karnataka, as well as building two substations of 400 KV and six substations of 210 KV in the City. 
 
The 400 kV stations will be built at Electronic City and Devanahalli, while the six 200 kV stations will be built at Koramangala, Kumbalagodu, Manyata Tech Park, Brindavan Alloys, ITI area, and at KIADB industrial area at Devanahalli. 
 
"We have already issued a few tenders, and some more are in the pipeline," KPTCL managing director Jawaid Akhtar told ET. "The action plan we are implementing will increase the availability of power in Bengaluru and fuel industrial development," he said. 
 
Akhtar added that KPTCL will be opting for the modern gas-insulated stations (GIS) wherever it has serious space issues in the city. 
 
"Our projects are going to be win-win for all: the consumers will greliable power supply while KPTCL and Bescom will get additional revenues from increase in the sale of electricity," said S.Sumanth, Director (Transmission) at KPTCL. 
 
The fresh capacity will be coming with the expansion of Bellary thermal power station, the new plants being planned at Kudgi and Yaramaras, as well as installation of several windmills in the future.

An energy firm accidentally sent customers trillion-dollar checks in compensation for a power cut

India may become a power surplus country in the current fiscal as the energy shortage and peak power deficit was already less than 1 per cent in April with many states reporting nil electricity deficits, according to PTI news report. According to Central Electricity Authority's latest monthly report for April, the energy shortage in the country is reported at 0.5 per cent during the month compared to 1.4 per cent a year ago. In April, the energy shortage was as low as 0.1 per cent each in Western, Southern and Eastern region. However the Northeastern region has reported energy shortage of 4.5 per cent. It was 1.5 per cent in the Northern region. Peak power deficit too has reduced to 0.8 per cent across the country in April this year. It was recorded at 0.1 per cent each in Southern, Eastern and Western regions. However, the Northeastern region reported a peak power deficit of 2.2 per cent in April. It was 1.8 per cent in Northern region. As per the Power Ministry data, many states have reported nil energy shortage and peak power deficit in April this year. These states include <keyword id="43945" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chhattisgarh">Chhattisgarh</keyword>, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Punjab, Sikkim and Tripura, <keyword id="6357783" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="West-Bengal">West Bengal</keyword>.

Uttar Pradesh, where <keyword id="14666" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="BJP">BJP</keyword> recently won elections with a thumping majority, reported an energy shortage of just 1 per cent in April from 14 per cent level a year ago. Besides, the peak power deficit was down to zero. According to the load generation balancing report of the Central Electricity Authority for 2017-18, India would become power surplus nation. It said, "All India power supply position indicates that the country is likely to have a peak surplus of 6.8 per cent and energy surplus of 8.8 per cent." It also said that surplus energy is anticipated in the order of 7.4 per cent, 13 per cent, 9.8 per cent and 3.0 per cent in the Southern, Western, Northern and North-Eastern Regions respectively. However it said that the Eastern region is likely to face minor energy shortage of 0.2 per cent which can be mthrough surplus power in other regions. It has also said that the peaking surplus is likely to prevail in all the regions-- Northern, Western, Southern, Eastern and North-Eastern regions to the tune of 6.7 per cent, 17.2 per cent, 1 per cent, 10 per cent and 2.7 per cent respectively.
