The hopes of lakhs of people living in small cities and towns of Maharashtra to enjoy a power cut free life may be dashed as the much-hyped MSEDCL petition to make these areas load-shedding free is not accompanied with requisite data. Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), which will hear the petition on Wednesday, is likely to ask MSEDCL to supply additional data.
There is every likelihood that ruling party politicians will accuse MERC of scuttling the plans to make the state load-shedding free conveniently ignoring the gaping holes in MSEDCL's petition.
MSEDCL in its petition has stated that it planned to make urban and semi-urban areas coming under A, B, C and D divisions load-shedding free. Eighty-three out of 139 divisions are eligible. As per MSEDCL, it will need 200 MW round the clock from January to June and another 200 MW from March to June during peak hours to make this possible.
