The State is expected to start receiving an additional 180 megawatts (MW) from central generating stations from Tuesday amid the scramble to tackle the soaring electricity demand in April and May.
The 180 MW round-the-clock (RTC) power is being sourced from the unallocated quota on the basis of a request placed before the Union Power Ministry in March.
This supply is also set to start at a time when tenders floated by the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) for the supply of 500 MW to meet the evening peak-demand in April and May had drawn lukewarm interest from power generators.
