The UT electricity department will be revamping the power distribution system in the city by December. From thereon, residents will experience lesser number of unscheduled power cuts.
In July, residents had to face frequent power snags as the electricity infrastructure in the city could not bear the increased load which peaked at 414 megawatt.
“Faulty transformers and those which had completed their life cycle caused erratic power supply in the city,” said a senior official of the UT engineering department privy to the development.
