Load-shedding: Don’t cut us off: Bangalore's industries to govt

As the state government announced the schedule for load-shedding across the state sparing Bangalore city, the industrial sector fears the worst.
Energy minister Shobha Karandlaje has already dropped hints of introducing staggered weekly-offs for industries to minimise the effect of power crunch that has hit the state.
Realising the inevitable, the industrialists are ready to co-operate but conditions apply.
“We are always ready to co-operate with the government whenever the state is facing a problem. We have done it in the past and are ready for it even now to accept introduction of staggered weekly-off system. But that is just one part of the problem at hand,” said Prakash N Raikar, president of Karnataka Small Scale Industries Association.
“But the state government should assure the industrial sector that it would ensure steady supply of power for at least eight hours during the day on all the six remaining days of the week to ensure that industrial production is not affected,” said Raikar.
JR Bangera, president of Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FKCCI), stated that the industrial bodies have a wishlist that they will presentto the energy minister on Tuesday before they agree tothe proposal of staggered weekly-off system.
“We can understand the problem being faced by the state. The system is a common feature in industrial areas of Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and a few more states. But that is to ensure that they get steady uninterrupted power a certain number of hours,” he said.
“We too will present a similar demand before the government before agreeing for staggered weekly-offs. It will be a big blow for industries if the state government fails to provide steady power on the remaining six days of the week,” said Bangera, expressing fears of a double blow.
Bangera wants the state government to give sales tax subsidy on diesel being purchased by the industrial sector for running their captive generator sets.
“Such a gesture will reduce the dependence of industries on power from state grid and put their captive generation capacity to optimum use without escalating the production cost of the products,” he said.

16-hour power cut for industries in Maharashtra from today
Published: Wednesday, Oct 12, 2011, 8:00 IST
Place: Mumbai | Agency: Agencies
Two days after it imposed planned load-shedding across the state, the Maharashtra State Electricity Board on Tuesday announced 16-hour power cuts for industries starting Wednesday.
The load-shedding for industries will be imposed once a week — on different days in different areas — coinciding with days when plants observe their weekly off, said an official from the Maharashtra State Electricity Board.
The latest power-saving measure has been taken in view of an estimated shortage of around 3,500MW to 4,000MW of power in the past three weeks. Power generation in the state has been hit badly on account of severe disruptions in coal supply due to the Telangana agitation in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh and floods in Orissa. This has resulted in Maharashtra power stations getting only around 12 rakes (trainloads) of coal against the daily requirements of 24 rakes.
The present demand is around 16,500MW but power generation is 11,000MW, necessitating load-shedding of three to seven hours in urban areas and 11-13 hours in rural areas, hitting domestic, commercial and agriculture sectors.
The power cuts have angered people, with protests in at least two areas of Thane in the past two days and in Yavatmal on Wednesday. Coal supply has hit the MAHAGENCO thermal power generation plants in Parli (Beed), Chandrapur, Koradi, Khaparkheda, Paras — all in eastern Maharashtra, Nashik and Bhusawal in the northern parts of the state and Uran in Thane, besides smaller ones across the state.
This is the first time this year that ‘planned load-shedding’ has been imposed in the state which has been showing an improvement in its power supply position in the past couple of years, mainly owing to good monsoons.

City gets a reprieve from loadshedding
MSEDCL, power shortage Posted: Sat Oct 08 2011, 03:11 hrs Pune:
Loadshedding has been temporarily lifted in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad and there are likelihood of no outages from Saturday. The city did not face any outage on Friday and an official statement issued here said that there will be no loadshedding from Saturday, unless there is acute shortage of power.
Nine divisions of Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad included in the A-1 category of cities would face no loadshedding. However, if there is an acute power shortage, the utility will have to resort to load shedding, the release said while announcing the new schedule.
According to officials of the MSEDCL, the decision to end loadshedding was taken in the case of the six revenue divisions that had implemented the zero loadshedding model and had been placed in A-1 category.
On Friday, the power utility had not enforced loadshedding in the morning and evening hours in the city. However, the utility officials pointed out that at present, availability of power in the state is 12,000 MW. It is still falling short of requirements and hence loadshedding will be increased in urban areas of other groups of cities from three to seven hours and in rural areas from the earlier 8-11 hours to 11-13 hours.

For the past week now, Puneites have been facing unscheduled loadshedding due to shortage of power across the state. The Telangana agitation and Orissa floods had hurt coal transportation and supply to thermal power plants. Besides, technical faults at various power plants in some other states had also led to power dipping in the national grid as well.
Whats wrong with you guys.
