State govt committed to improve power scenario in state: Shobha

June 18, 2011

Mangalore, June 18: Energy Minister Shobha Karandlaje has reiterated that the BJP led state government is wholly committed for improving the power scenario in Karnataka.

She was speaking after unveiling the plaque of proposed KEB Engineers' Association's zonal office building, which is to be set up at Kavoor area, at Lions Seva Kendra, Mallikatta here on Saturday.

Admitting that power is one amongst the most essential civic amenities for citizens she said it is the responsibility of the government for supplying continuous and quality power for all residential, commercial and farming needs. Shobha said the state government has embarked on the purchase of 1,300 MW power every day from different sources in order to meet the power demand.

Although there was no shortage of power, the state lacked appropriate receiving stations and feeder lines, with the power transmission and distribution system not being upgraded for nearly 25 years by successive Governments that ruled the state, she lamented.

Shobha said the government has envisaged setting up of 167 new receiving stations across the state with a proposal for installing 19 66KV capacity stations and 35 new lines in CHESCom limits.

The minister also said that the state has envisaged total power audit for maintaining accountability in power supply and distribution.
