Read Chhattisgarh newsChhattisgarh is drawing 5,574 MW as of 2026-10-02T19:00:00+00:00 IST, sourced from the India Energy Atlas state-page-live snapshot.
Renewables (solar, wind, hydro, biomass) account for 0.6% of in-state generation in Chhattisgarh as of 2026-10-02T19:00:00+00:00 IST. Nuclear and imports are excluded.
Chhattisgarh's current grid carbon intensity is 944 gCO2/kWh as of 2026-10-02T19:00:00+00:00 IST, computed from the metered fuel mix using CEA v18 lifecycle emission factors.
Today's peak demand so far in Chhattisgarh occurred at 00:30 IST. The value remains provisional until the current IST day ends.
Distribution in Chhattisgarh is handled by one or more state-licensed DISCOMs; see the DISCOM card on the state page for the live roster.
The day-ahead demand forecast for Chhattisgarh runs at single-digit MAPE; we publish the rolling 30-day MAPE on the State MAPE History card so readers can audit it themselves. Live demand comes from the SLDC scrape when available; non-SLDC states use the Atlas DISCOM disaggregation pipeline (Tier-A/B/C provenance, P10/P50/P90 bands).
Chhattisgarh is drawing 5,574 MW of electricity at the current hour (2026-10-03T03:00:00+05:30 IST), per the India Energy Atlas state-page-live snapshot.
The latest modeled in-state generation mix for Chhattisgarh is dominated by Coal at 99.4%. Grid carbon intensity is 944 gCO2/kWh.
Hourly disaggregation for Chhattisgarh is awaiting the cross-project Atlas DISCOM Disaggregation tier-A endpoint; once it lands the live page will surface P10/P50/P90 bands without any FE change.
The day-ahead hourly demand forecast for Chhattisgarh publishes a ±1.5σ band over the next 24 hours — per-state model v20 (holdout MAPE 4.9%); level-calibrated x1.40 vs canonical trailing 24h.

Demand's sensitivity to temperature (MW per degree) is what turns a heatwave forecast into a load forecast. A high, tight slope means cooling load dominates and peaks are weather-driven and forecastable; a weak or noisy slope means the swing factor is something else — industrial shifts, agriculture, or a data gap worth questioning.
We do not show a modeled-vs-actual chart for Chhattisgarh because no audited live SLDC interval served-load actual; the available source is modeled, a daily peak, dead/restricted, or otherwise outside the pinned L(s,t) estimand. Accuracy scoring requires an independent interval actual.
no metered SLDC feed for this state; the 48h-forecast accuracy would be model-vs-modeled (self-referential), so it is not scored. Excluded from the verified-<5% set regardless of measured MAPE.

Grid cleanliness
Each cell is one hour's grid carbon intensity. Greener = cleaner, browner = more fossil — the green hours are when discretionary load is cheapest on emissions.
