State Electricity Regulatory Commission pulls up KSEB for erratic power curbs
The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission has criticized the state's electricity board for unpredictable load-shedding and ordered them to provide advance notice to the public. Additionally, the commission approved a short-term power purchase agreement to address a persistent 200 MW energy deficit.
Why it matters
Effective management of power distribution and transparency in load-shedding are vital for public welfare and economic stability during energy crises.
The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission (KSERC) has pulled up the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) for the “erratic and unpredictable nature” of the power curbs being imposed by it and directed the power utility to alert the public in advance about the timings and duration of the daily restrictions.
At a public hearing here, commission chairman T.K. Jose and member B. Pradeep wanted the KSEB to ensure a “stable and predictable” pattern for the load restrictions. The KSEB representatives at the hearing told the commission that the power utility will comply with the direction.
