Load shedding will be minimized

Power cuts to be progressively minimized with the marginal to high yielding of water that is related tom hydro power generation. In Puri the yesterday the thirties day of this month of July situation was that the morning power cut from eight to nine is there and then no power cut through out the day and this has been due to the fact that for the last seven days there are instances of rain which is now seems to be in good quantity and for the water reservoir of hydro power plant. It is seen that the fixed power cuts has been lifted in some major cities and also district headquarters of the state and in the remaining sub urban areas there are instances of three hours of load shedding. Now in these suburban areas these have been restricted to two hours for the time being. One hour each in the morning and the night. This shortage of power in the evening time is 500MW and with the increasing of water in the reservoirs of Hirakud, Indrabati and Balimela that can be enough to attain the short fall in the deficit parameters of water and the electricity. With the good rain in the vicinity there is also plant to raise the production of electricity to seven hundred MW in the near future. The Jharsuguda power units are expected to be back with grid within short span of time. That will help the state to lift the power cuts even during the evening hours. Most of the power grid is in the western part of the state and in the last few days in these areas there are quite a good amount of rain and for this the power crisis and the improvement in the grid situation and that is helping the state government to amend the load shedding. The water level in Rengali reservoir few days ago has very few waters and from Sunday the water level is on the rise and it is expected to generate more power as the water level is on the rise. The thermal power stations are also not being able to generate more power due to various reasons.
