Overview
Mizoram is a small, landlocked hill state in India's North-Eastern Region (NER), connected to the broader grid via the NER-NR interconnect and dependent on the Power Grid Corporation's NER transmission backbone. Its most distinctive characteristic is a 100.0% renewable energy share in the latest hourly generation slice (as of 2026-05-01), driven overwhelmingly by run-of-river small hydro projects that exploit the state's rugged terrain and perennial rivers. Carbon intensity averaged 27.3 gCO2/kWh over the recent ~48h window—one of the lowest readings observable across Indian states—reflecting the near-total absence of thermal generation in the fuel mix. The p95 peak deficit stood at 0.0% as of 2026-04-23, indicating that, at least at the 95th-percentile tail, peak demand has been met without recorded shortage. Real-time demand telemetry and open-access charge data are not available for this state, limiting granularity on load dynamics and commercial power costs.
Demand & Supply
Mizoram's generation mix, as captured across the two fuel-mix slices in the recent window, is entirely renewable—100.0% RE share at the latest data point (2026-05-01T00:00:00Z). The recent ~48h window delta is 0.0 pp, meaning the RE share held flat from 2026-04-29T03:00:00Z to 2026-05-01T00:00:00Z with no measurable shift in fuel composition. This flatness is consistent with a hydro-dominant system whose output is weather- and flow-constrained rather than dispatch-optimised. The p95 peak deficit measured by POSOCO PSP data (23 daily observations) is 0.0%, which signals that peak demand has been reliably met at the 95th-percentile level over the observed period. Real-time demand telemetry (SLDC feed) is not available for Mizoram, so an MW-level demand anchor cannot be provided. The 46-point demand history in the chart series provides directional context but yields no computable CAGR, as multi-year aggregation is not yet integrated into Atlas. IEX DAM prices for the NER zone are also unavailable due to an empty upstream feed, precluding any spot-market cost assessment.
RE & Transition
Mizoram's RE share of 100.0% at the latest hourly slice places it at the theoretical ceiling of renewable penetration for a state-level reading. The recent ~48h window delta of 0.0 pp indicates no directional movement—the mix has been stable at full RE for the duration of the observed window. This should be read as a point-in-time posture, not a confirmed multi-year structural shift; long-term demand CAGR and RE trajectory data are not yet integrated into Atlas. Carbon intensity averaged 27.3 gCO2/kWh over the recent ~48h window, consistent with a hydro-dominated supply stack with minimal grid imports from thermal-heavy neighbouring states during this period. RPO compliance data is not yet integrated (IEA-58), so formal regulatory conformance cannot be assessed despite the high observed RE share. The absence of a long-term aggregator (IEA-56, IEA-57) means resilience of this posture under demand growth or hydrological stress cannot be quantified from available data.
DISCOM Health
The two proxies available for DISCOM health assessment are the p95 peak deficit (0.0% as of 2026-04-23) and the open-access charge stack. On reliability, a 0.0% p95 peak deficit across 23 daily observations is a constructive signal, though the small absolute scale of Mizoram's system means even modest bilateral supply from NER pool arrangements can clear peak shortfalls. Open-access charges (CSS, wheeling, transmission, losses at HT voltage) are not available for Mizoram—the Atlas endpoint returns no data for this state—limiting any cost-of-power or OA economics assessment. AT&C losses, the primary operational efficiency metric for DISCOMs, are not yet integrated (IEA-57), and residential tariff data requires an API key not yet provisioned (tools-api). In aggregate, DISCOM health cannot be scored quantitatively beyond the peak-deficit signal; the three most diagnostic financial and operational metrics remain gapped.
Outlook
Over the 1–3 year horizon, Mizoram's 100.0% RE share and 27.3 gCO2/kWh carbon intensity represent a low-carbon baseline that is structurally advantageous but fragile. Hydro-dominated systems in hilly terrain carry hydrological variability risk that is not visible in a 48h snapshot. The 0.0% p95 peak deficit is reassuring but the absence of real-time demand telemetry, AT&C loss data, and residential tariff data means that underlying distribution-side stress—if any—is not observable from current Atlas feeds. Priority data integrations to enable meaningful policy or investment decisions are: AT&C loss series (IEA-57), RPO compliance (IEA-58), residential tariff (API-key provisioning), and multi-year demand CAGR. Until those gaps are closed, forward-looking recommendations on capacity addition, DISCOM subsidy design, or load growth management cannot be grounded in verifiable state-level numbers beyond the four metrics currently available.
