THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has warned of power outages as reservoirs of its hydroelectric projects are fast drying up.
The dams now hold water sufficient to generate power only for a fortnight. If the southwest monsoon doesn’t show leniency, there will be load shedding from Aug 16, KSEB chairman N. S. Pillai said after a review meeting Saturday.
Shortage of rainfall has severely affected the KSEB’s hydel power generation.
