Nagaland facing acute power shortage

By Correspondent

DIMAPUR, Dec 9 � Nagaland is reeling under acute power shortage due to reduction in power allocation by the North Eastern Regional Load Dispatch Centre (NERLDC).

Presently, as against the power requirement of 110 MW during the peak load hours from 5 pm to 10 pm, the availability is only about 70 MW, said a notification issued by Nagaland Power department.

Likewise, against the power requirement of 80 MW during the off-peak load hours, the availability is only to the tune of 45 MW.

The Department is compelled to impose coordinated loadshedding all over the State to the extent of eight to nine hours daily in order to avoid total power shutdown.
