With winter approaching fast, Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDC) has enhanced the grid capacity to 1500 MW in the region.
According to official figures, the department had to resort to curtailment schedules of four to eight hours per day last winter due to limited grid capacity to supply 1250 MW energy during peak hours.
These unscheduled and prolonged power cuts become an unwritten rule, not only in non-metered areas but metered areas as well, as the demand shoot up.
However, this year, the KPDCL has adopted a multi-pronged strategy to counter the power crisis during winter.
