AS THE demand for power outstrips the supply, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited has zeroed in on certain locations in the state to impose load-shedding for even up to eight hours.
However, Pune zone is unlikely to face load-shedding because of various factors, one of them being higher recovery of power dues.
Many parts of rural Nashik, Ahmednagar and different parts of Marathwada including Aurangabad have been subjected to load-shedding.
This is part of the MSEDCL strategy to implement a feeder-wise load-shedding system where transmission and distribution losses are more than 60%. In these loss making areas, the power utility has decided to adopt a system, whereby higher the transmission and distribution loss, more the load-shedding.
