As part of the efforts to tackle the power crisis without imposing Statewide power curbs, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has urged high-end industrial consumers and public-sector undertakings (PSU), including the Kerala Water Authority (KWA), to keep electricity consumption at a minimum between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
High-end industries will be directed to reschedule their electricity use so as to reduce consumption between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. The KWA will be urged to reschedule pumping without affecting drinking water supply.
The decisions were finalised at a meeting convened by Electricity Minister K. Krishnankutty on Thursday. The KSEB will review the power situation after two days and hand over a report to the State government.
