The Lucknow Electricity Supply Administration (LESA) plans to increase the sanctioned load of those power consumers who have been overdrawing electricity for more than three months. The step is likely to affect more than 2.3 lakh power consumers of the state capital.
LESA has already sent notices to these power consumers in Lucknow for getting their load increased or the department will do so on its own.
LESA chief engineer (cis-Gomti) Madhukar Varma said, “If a consumer has sanctioned load of three kilowatt, but he is using more power than that for three consecutive months then his load has to be increased according to the rules. Such consumers have been sent notices.
