Kerala Electricity Minister Sunny Joseph has said that power cuts across the state are likely to continue for the time being because of limited electricity availability and rising demand.
The minister said the current situation is mainly linked to the gap between the electricity available and the amount of power being used by consumers. Demand has increased, putting additional pressure on the state’s power supply system.
According to the minister, the government and power authorities are working to arrange additional electricity to reduce the shortage. New arrangements for purchasing power are being explored, which could provide some relief in the near future.
The authorities are also working to restore a more stable power supply as quickly as possible. Until additional power becomes available, some areas may continue to experience scheduled or temporary power interruptions.
The ongoing power cuts can affect households, businesses and industries, particularly during periods of high electricity demand. Consumers have been asked to cooperate while officials work on solutions to the shortage.
The state government is expected to continue monitoring electricity demand and supply closely. Once additional power arrangements are completed, officials hope to reduce the need for power cuts and move towards a normal electricity supply across Kerala.
