Sri Vijaya Puram, Apr. 25: It is to bring to the kind notice of general public that in view of ensuing summer and due to increase in ambient temperature, there has been a significant increase in the power demand particularly during evening peak hours from 5.30 PM to 10.30 PM in Sri Vijaya Puram and adjoining areas of South Andaman. As a result, there is a temporary shortfall in the power supply during these hours.
All the consumers of Electricity Department have been advised to use the energy judiciously in view of shortage of power particularly during evening peak hours. Further, usage of major power guzzlers like Acs, Motors, OTGs, Greaser, Garden lighting etc. may kindly be avoided during evening peak hours from 05.30 PM to 10.30 PM and requested to switch off unnecessary electrical appliances when not in use. This would help the Department to maintain power supply in Sri Vijaya Puram and adjoining areas of South Andaman without curtailment.
The Electricity Department is committed to monitor the situation for effective compliance and may conduct checks to ensure effective Demand Side Management measures being followed.
