To prevent frequent power cuts in villages, the state Energy Department has decided to provide round the clock electricity to up to 1,300 sub-stations with less than 15 per cent Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT&C) loss.
AT&C loss refers to the difference between power units purchased by distributors and the total billed units to consumers. The reasons for the loss are creaky infrastructure, power theft, inefficient billing or other technical hurdles.
In a virtual meeting with managing directors (MDs) of power companies, state Energy Minister Srikant Sharma discussed ways to supply uninterrupted power under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat Mission.
