NOIDA: The Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited (PVVNL) supplied power for at least 23 hours 50 minutes a day on an average in the Gautam Budh Nagar district last month, leaving hardly any scope for the use of diesel-fuelled generator (DG) sets that cause air pollution, officials said on Wednesday.
PVVNL chief engineer Virendra Nath Singh said that there is no dearth of power in the district, and supply and transmission of power has no interruption. “The average daily power supply by PVVNL in Noida and some parts of Greater Noida was recorded at more than 23 hours and 50 minutes on an average in October. And this, despite the fact that last month had lots of festivals, including Durga Puja and Diwali, when the power demand was at its peak,” he said.
Singh further said that with such an uninterrupted power supply, the scope of running DG sets in high-rises and residential societies has been limited.
