No power shortage in twin cities: TS Transco

Transmission Corporation of Telangana Limited incharge chairman and Managing Director D Prabhakar Rao on Friday reviewed the power supply position in the State in general and twin cities in particular with the senior officials.

He has instructed the TSDISCOMS to charge all the 33 / 11 KV Substations immediately to meet the increase in power demand due to soaring temperature. Director (Transmission) TSTRANSCO was instructed to immediately charge the Erragadda 220 / 132 KV Substation so that there are no interruptions in the twin cities. Instructions are issued to engage additional gangs and ensure satisfactory power supply in the twin cities and suburbs.

"The consumers are informed that there is no shortage of power and recent few interruptions are only on account of soaring temperature resulting in blasting of CTs. However, immediate action is taken to replace the as and restore the power supply," Prabhakar Rao said.

The TSTRANSCO and TSDISCOMS are endeavouring to maintain the satisfactory power supply to meet the demand due to high temperatures prevailing in the State.  TSSPDCL has been instructed to defer the general transfers and postings for the time being in order to maintain the power supply during the period, he said.
