Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday urged the Union Power Minister RK Singh to provide additional electricity to the state from the central pool to meet heavy demand during the paddy season.
In a letter to the Union Minister, Mann said in order to provide uninterrupted power supply to farmers, the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) was keeping a watch on the PUShP portal.
The CM said as demand of electricity could not be met through the collective transaction segment of power exchange, the state needs Round the Clock (RTC) power of 1,000 MW from June 15 to October 15. He said the additional power was further necessitated due to the Indian Meteorological Department’s (IMD) prediction of low monsoon rainfall in north-western India, including Punjab.
