To cope with the rising demand for electricity during the summer season, officials of Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) and Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Limited (MSETCL) have decided to shift supply from certain areas to others and lay new lines.
The demand for electricity in Pune circle is around 3,100 MW. However, in the past two to three days, there’s been a significant heatwave, leading to a sharp increase in demand and some of MSETCL’s high-pressure substations and power lines facing the strain.
Rajendra Pawar, chief engineer from MSEDCL, and Anil Kolap of MSETCL conducted a meeting at Rasta Peth office on Thursday to review the transmission and distribution systems in Pune circle, divided into 12 divisions.
