PDD likely to roll out new power curtailment schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n

Srinagar, Dec 29: The Power Development Department (PDD) is likely to announce a new power curtailment schedule for consumers in the Kashmir division, which will include extra hours of load shedding in the high AT&C losses.<\/p>\n

Sources informed the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO) that Kashmir Power Development Corporation Limited (KPDCL) is devising a new power curtailment plan that is likely to be rolled out in coming days.<\/p>\n

It also said that the power feeders having losses of more than 40 percent may face restrictions of 4-6 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs of now, the areas with more than 40 percent Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT&C) losses are facing a power curtailment of nearly 4 hours. However, in the revised schedule, these feeders may face power shedding of 5-6 hours,\u201d sources said.<\/p>\n

It also said that in case of those feeders having losses 20-40 percent, the consumers may face power curtailment of 3 hours. \u201cEarlier, there was a restriction of only two hours. However, there is an extra one hour curtailment in the pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sources further informed that there will be no power curtailment to those areas wherein feeders are having less than 20 percent AT&C losses.<\/p>\n

About the power distribution, sources said that the DISCOM on an average was delivering 1700 Megawatts of Power. \u201cDuring the peak hours, we are meeting a demand of 1900-1950 MWs of power in the Kashmir region.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pertinently, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah last week had said that nearly 48 percent households in Srinagar enjoy uninterrupted electricity supply following a successful Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) trial with zero power cuts.<\/p>\n

The Chief Minister, in a post on X had congratulated KPDCL on making another 83 areas in Srinagar 24-hour power zones following a successful RDSS trial with zero power cuts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this, 108 areas in Srinagar now enjoy round-the-clock, uninterrupted electricity supply, benefiting 1.25 lakh households, nearly 48% of the city. Similar upgrades are underway in other districts to ensure 24\u00d77 power supply,\u201d he said. (KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
