The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has launched measures to stave off power shortages during summer 2023, anticipating a spurt in demand.
The utility has obtained the Kerala Electricity Regulatory Commission's nod to procure 100 MW round-the-clock (RTC) power through NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd (NVVNL) and another 100 MW through PTC India Ltd as part of meeting the anticipated demand in March and April 2023.
For meeting the summer requirement, the KSEB is also planning 'swap' arrangements — where surplus power given outside during monsoon months is returned during the summer.
