There are many ongoing maintenance works in progress in Silicon city Bengaluru, including the shifting of overhead cables and wires underground before rain arrives. This is resulting in frequent power cuts in many areas. Power cuts in the summer are dreaded more as citizens will have to do without fans or air conditioning to battle the heat.

Bengaluru will face power cuts more frequently from March 25 - 26. (HT FILE/REPRESENTATIONAL IMAGE)

According to a recent report, the state has achieved its highest energy consumption post COVID in the first week of March, which amounted to about 14,800 megawatts. A clear indication that economic activity has returned to pre-pandemic levels after a two-year slowdown.

This has resulted in unscheduled power cuts across the state. Electricity companies are resorting to one or two hours of unscheduled outages in urban areas every day and the duration is said to be around six hours in rural areas.

Earlier this week, the legislative assembly saw a heated debate between Bandeppa Kashempur, a member of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly from the JDS and Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, wherein Bandeppa said “Farmers in rural areas get around seven hours of electricity a day on average. I ask BJP to double this to at least 14 hours, considering the state has turned around from buying to selling surplus electricity.”
