Promising a bright future for Bengaluru, Bescom on Tuesday assured the people of the city that there won’t be any load-shedding until 2023, as the state is witnessing surplus power generation.
C Shikha, managing director of the Bangalore Electricity Supply Company, however, clarified that minor technical glitches may force the escom to disconnect power intermittently during the same period.
Taking part in an interactive meeting with the members of the Federation of Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FKCCI), Shikha said, “We have achieved power surplus until 2023 due to sufficient rainfall in the last couple of years. The surplus scenario has also stopped us from mulling over any new generation projects for the time being. At least till 2023, there will not be any threat of load-shedding, except for some technical glitches.”
