TGSPDCL issues guidelines urging people to fly kites in open areas, not to use metallic thread or metal-reinforced strings

Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TGSPDCL) has undertaken a massive exercise to meet the increasing demand for power supply during the upcoming summer season.

Many a time, we blame the poor condition of roads for accidents but fail to notice how a precariously-located electric pole or a transformer contributes to the bloodshed on the roads

According to the latest directives, those who want single phase household electricity connection have to apply for 2 kilowatt instead of 1 kilowatt

TGSPDCL on Tuesday claimed that it had not started any new practice to burden the consumers and that as per norms, apartments and commercial complexes were required to get separate dedicated transformers.

Rama Rao said the government was shifting its responsibilities onto citizens due to its inability to manage power supply efficiently. "The responsibility to install new transformers and upgrade the power supply system lies entirely with the government, not the citizens," he said.

The Telangana State Renewable Energy Development Corporation (TGREDCO) has been appointed as the nodal agency for the implementation of this scheme

The TGNPDCL and TGSPDCL have to file the ARR before the TGERC by the end of this month so that the ERC could give order on the tariff by the end of March

TGSPDCL CMD Musharraf Ali Faruqui who held a review meeting along with TRANSCO Director Jagath Reddy directed officials to improve the distribution and transmission system to cope with the high power demand in the ensuing summer season.

The local officials have identified the high risk zones and based on this survey, arrangements have been drafted across the State

Since the discoms did not propose an increase in tariff of domestic consumers, there will be no change in the traffic for the current financial year.

They voiced their protest against the proposed power tariff hike at a public hearing organised by the Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission (TGERC)

Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council and senior BRS leader Sirikonda Madusudhana Chary asked the State govt to bear the burden of the hike proposed by the Discoms and compensate the companies in the form of subsidy.

Each vehicle will be staffed with one assistant engineer and three line workers to address emergency power outages 24/7. They will be equipped with essential safety gear, including ladders, insulators, conductors, cables, earth rods, and helmets. These vehicles are also designed to tow and replace transformers quickly.

Wheeling charges are the charges levied by the electricity department for the distance the electricity is transported. The electricity board applies this charge when electricity is generated at one location but consumed at another.

The intense heat has driven electricity demand up to levels comparable with peak summer months.

The inspection was carried out in collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including the GHMC, TGSPDCL, and Town Planning officials

Only 40 percent of the repair works were completed so far and it was likely to take some more time to finish the entire work.

The artisans are angry that the government was recruiting junior linemen and was not giving them promotion as junior linemen even though they perform the same duties

The power officials said whenever the load crosses 15 KW, the apartment needs to install a separate transformer, but a majority of them do not do so resulting in tripping.
