Key figures: electricity in Sikkim
In October 2026, Sikkim was supplied 1.02 GWh of electricity on an average day, with demand peaking at 109 MW on 3 Oct 2026. That is 4.7% less per day than in October 2025.
The highest demand ever met in Sikkim since 2023 is 139 MW, on 10 Feb 2025.
Sikkim reported no unmet demand in the last 365 days.
Over the last 12 complete months, Sikkim met 0% of its demand without drawing from the interstate grid. This is a residual: energy met minus scheduled drawal and deviation, so a central station inside the state that is scheduled through the interstate grid counts as grid supply.
In 1 month the share was below zero: Sikkim drew more from the interstate grid than it supplied its own consumers, which happens when power drawn in is passed on elsewhere.
Its load factor, average demand as a share of the month's peak, was 39% in October 2026, against 83% for India as a whole.
