The Tamil Nadu Energy Development Agency (TEDA) has urged residents of Nagapattinam district to avail themselves of the subsidy provided by the government to erect grid connected rooftop solar systems.
The government was providing up to 40% subsidy in the fixed cost of installation of the systems in individual houses or apartments. The excess power generated through such systems, after domestic consumption of the owners, would be sent to the grid with net metering. This would substantially reduce the power charges for the owners. Domestic consumers who face high power bills can opt for this system, an official release said.
The election authorities are gearing up for the counting of votes cast in the simultaneous elections to Lok Sabha and Assembly seats in Andhra Pradesh, scheduled to be held on June 4. The Collectors and Election Officers of Visakhapatnam, Anakapalli and Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) districts said on May 23 (Thursday) that their teams were ready for the counting of votes.
Responding to the prolonged water scarcity, the residents of the area took to the streets in protest on Wednesday. The protest, which drew attention to their plight, stopped only after the intervention of the police. It was not until 1.30 p.m. that a 4000-litre tanker was finally delivered by BWSSB, providing relief to the water-starved residents.
