While the APSPDCL officials were tight-lipped over the whole issue, they said everything was being monitored from Vijayawada and district wise load-shedding was being resorted to.
The shortage in power generation at Vijayawada Thermal Power station and Krishnapatnam led to major power shortage in Kurnool and Anantapur districts on February 3 and February 4 leading to power cuts imposed on three-phase connections and industries asked to reduce their consumption by 25% and agriculture getting only three to four hours.
In Kurnool district out of 800 MW of daily demand, only 500 MW to 550 MW could be maintained and against a daily consumption of 13 million units only 8 million units were consumed. In Anantapur district too the reduction in consumption was above 2 million units and the load shedding was about 100 MW.
