Bengaluru’s electricity manager, the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM), has indicated in data on its website that parts of city might face scheduled power shutdowns on Wednesday and Thursday, as the KTPCL – Karnataka Power Transmission Corporation Limited is undertaking some unfinished projects, repair and maintenance works.
Among these are included the release of old 220 kilovolts (KV) towers and conductors, stringing new ones in their stead, conversion of existing lines to DC – direct current – lines, among others. Most of these projects will be taken up between 10 am and 4 pm, and hence, power cuts might last for around six hours.
Here are the BESCOM circles, divisions, feeders and areas that might be affected from the proposed power outages on Wednesday and Thursday:
