Feeding a power-hungry economy

FOR an economy that has been growing at an annual average of 6.3 percent (2010-2014), demand for electric power is expectedly hard to match with adequate supply.

The imbalance becomes even starker if economic growth steps up to 7 to 8 percent as forecast for the next two years (2016 and 2017) while development of infrastructure has been more than long overdue and recent projects have been wracked with corruption-related delays.
