Kerala is set to plunge into a severe power crisis this summer with consumption going up by each passing day and power generation decreasing or remaining stagnant. Sources in the Kerala State Electricity Board, which is buying power from outside to keep the demand-supply balance intact, say that power-cuts would be unavoidable when summer intensifies.
Per-day consumption reached a record high earlier this week with the State using over 60 million units of power compared to the average of 49-50 million units during last summer. The stagnant generation at just over 25 million units a day in the State is worrying the Electricity Board.
