Punjab State Power Corporation limited has decided to upgrade the electrical infrastructure in all villages of the state. It includes feeder separation which refers to the power supply to agricultural and non-agricultural consumers separately through dedicated feeders,which regulate power supply to agricultural consumers as and when needed for effective demand side management . The core objective of feeder separation is to provide regulated supply to agricultural consumers and continuous supply to non-agricultural consumers in rural areas. Preference will be given to those villages having no case of power theft and PSPCL would develop such villages as role models in terms of extraordinary power facilities .
This will be implemented as per the instructions of PSPCL CMD A. Venu Prasad and Director Distribution DPS Grewal, Jiwan Kansal Chief Engineer distribution West zone said.
He said that in the paddy season in such villages uninterrupted power supply will be given and the transformers supplying electricity to the tubewell consumers in the villages which are overloaded would be de-loaded on priority basis and also all overloading problems of domestic and non domestic consumers will be eliminated.
He said that if a group in a village area gets less power supply due to some technical reason then the said area of the village would be compensated for power in the very next group.
He said that since PSPCL is a commercial organization and requires financial resources on a day to day basis for providing reliable and uninterrupted power to 96 lakhs consumers and appealed to the consumers to deposit their electricity bills well in time to avoid the disconnection in case of default in making payment of electricity bills.
