Jammu: 24×7 supply for areas with smart meters
In a major step towards ensuring uninterrupted power supply, the areas being installed with smart meters will be made free of power curtailment for the users, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said today.
At an event here, Sinha said, “From today, 6,603 smart meter households connected to four feeders of Jammu will receive quality electricity. I appeal to the people to install smart meters and help the administration in controlling theft and reducing wasteful consumption.”
He said the move would enable consumers to monitor their power consumption behaviour and regulate it accordingly. He said J&K had been incurring an annual loss of Rs 3,400 crore in transmission and distribution of power.
