Amid power playing hide and seek, the Kashmir Power Development Corporation Limited (KPDCL) has initiated installation of smart electricity meters in Srinagar district.
According to KPDCL officials, the corporation has started installation of smart energy meters in uptown areas of Srinagar. So far, the work has been started in Peerbagh area of Srinagar city.
“Installation of smart meters and replacing electric wires with insulated wires will prove game-changer for Kashmir’s power scenario as we are projecting after installation of these meters power pilferage will be nil which will result in judicious use of the electricity, which unfortunately is not the case currently,” a senior official said adding currently there is shortfall of 750 megawatts of power during peak hours in Kashmir division.
