Union power minister RK Singh on Sunday said that the Centre was working on a plan of 24×7 power supply to every household and provision of compensation to consumers in case of load shedding, which would come into effect very soon.
“Very soon, people of the country will have 24×7 power supply guarantee. If there is load shedding, consumers will get adequate compensation,” said the Union minister and added that use of diesel generator sets would come to an end in few months.
“We have done three to four times higher works in five years against the works done in past 65 years in power sector. The current power production in the country is 3.5 lakh mega watt. We have added 1.20 lakh production in it in past five years,” Singh said.
