playstation Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 That, my friend, is the exact attitude the new CM has. All he can offer as a solution is his "belief in God" and that he "knows" the rains are coming by the end of next week :/ . If he says the rain is coming trust him coz God talks directly to politicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastAvenger Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 One of the reason why Ahmedabad doesn't have power problems is because of Torrent. AEC handed over the whole thing to Torrent Power and since then we have had no power problem and services have been awesome but its sh*t expensive like 6Rs a unit i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctrl_alt_del Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Same in my area as well. It's a relief that Bangalore has one of the best climate found anywhere else in India which softens the blow. I can't imagine going through these power cuts in the sweltering heat of Chennai.

sundeep Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 ‘Power holiday’ in Tamil Nadu from Monday(21.07.08) CHENNAI: Acknowledging that the State is suffering from power shortage of 1,000 megawatt (MW), Electricity Minister Arcot N. Veeraswami on Friday announced that the scheme of “power holiday” will come into force from Monday. In Chennai, the supply would be disrupted for one hour a day. The city would be classified into eight divisions and each division would not have supply for an hour. Other municipal corporations and municipalities would have to go without supply for two hours. Asked whether he was declaring power cut, Mr Veeraswami told a press conference that it was a “power holiday, staggered power holiday.” He asserted that there would not be any disruption in the supply between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Hospitals and dairy units would be exempted. The zonal system of holidays for industrial units, implemented during February-May, would be revived. Industry had demanded restoration of the concessions that were given earlier. It had also sought exemption from value-added tax for diesel-run captive generation plants. To a query how the government was going to tide over the shortfall, the Minister replied that the zonal holiday for the industry would provide a relief of 375-400 MW and the power holiday for the cities and towns would save another 300 MW. The utilisation of captive generation sets would reduce the demand by 500 MW. Monsoon failure The Minister blamed the failure of southwest monsoon and “inadequate generation” by wind mills for the current crisis. Asked how long the present arrangements would be in force, he said they would be there till the revival of monsoon and sufficient inflow into hydropower stations. Mr. Veeraswami was interacting with journalists after holding a two-hour-long meeting with industrialists on the power scenario. As for the farm sector, he said agriculturists would get the supply for six hours during the day for five days and for four hours for two days. During night, supply would be provided for eight hours. In villages, supply would be disrupted for four hours on two days in a week. While the government would restore the earlier concessions, it was yet to decide on the VAT exemption for the captive generation plants. After a discussion with the industry, it was decided provisionally that the revenue loss that would accrue on account of the exemption would be shared in the ratio of 60:40 by the government and the industry. As for the State’s share of electricity from the stations under the Central control, Mr Veeraswami said that about 60 per cent of the power was being received by the State. Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi sanctioned Rs. 50 crore to the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board for purchase of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMBender Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 The power cuts are annoying beyond anything I have seen in recent years, with cuts starting at 7 in the bloody morning and through 11 at night. As someone who worked on the Southern Grid as part of his college project at one of the biggest generating stations at NLC, I remember how Karnataka was so starved of power that it kept drawing from TN and Maharashtra at all times. Even then the Southern Grid was operating under huge losses and they were struggling hard to keep supplying power to everyone. And this was over half a decade back! As much as I am a proponent of clean, renewable energy sources, none of them work anywhere near an acceptable scale. Even high percentage renewable countries like Denmark have only around 15% of their energy as renewable. India would be a great candidate for a whole variety of renewables, except people are too busy swindling money from the treasury coffers to actually do anything about setting up efficient MHD and OTEC plants across our vast coastlines. Unless we're willing to wait another two decades or more for clean fusion to step out of the research labs and the itty bitty MW generations, they'd better set up a whole lot of nuke stations like France. After all, we'll probably be doing the people living on the Kerala black sands a favor by cutting down on their daily radiation levels. In the end, I just don't want my power to blow everytime a few hundred thousand people all decide to switch their ACs on at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot-Drake-Pixel Posted July 20, 2008 Report Share Posted July 20, 2008 Hmm, strange. I hardly see powercut in HSR L/O area, except for weekends when they do regular maintenance or cut big trees. Sometime they cut power preemptively if its gonna rain heavily. But thats about it. Mumbai is the Best when it comes to less or no power cut.
