Partial power restrictions likely in Kerala from 6:45 PM to midnight due to 600-800 MW deficit.

Partial Power Restrictions Expected in Kerala Due to Energy Deficit

Kerala is anticipated to experience partial power restrictions from 6:45 PM to midnight as the state faces an electricity deficit of 600 to 800 megawatts. The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has announced these measures in response to the shortfall, which is attributed to various factors, including increased demand during the evening hours and challenges related to power generation.

The power cuts will likely affect residential and commercial areas, with the KSEB advising consumers to conserve electricity where possible. This situation comes during a period when the state typically sees higher demand for electricity due to seasonal changes and increased usage of air conditioning.

Officials are reportedly exploring options to mitigate the impact of the power deficit, including purchasing electricity from neighboring states and enhancing local generation capacity. However, the timeline for resolving the deficit remains uncertain, and KSEB is closely monitoring the situation.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the power status updates from KSEB as the situation develops.
