Punjab State Power Corporation limited has decided to upgrade the electrical infrastructure in all villages of the state. It includes feeder separation which refers to the power supply  to agricultural and non-agricultural consumers separately through dedicated feeders,which regulate power supply to agricultural consumers as and when needed for effective demand side management . The core objective of feeder separation is to provide regulated supply to agricultural consumers and continuous supply to non-agricultural consumers in rural areas. Preference will be given to those villages having no case of power theft and PSPCL would   develop such villages as role models in terms of extraordinary power facilities .

This will  be implemented  as per  the instructions of  PSPCL CMD  A. Venu Prasad  and Director Distribution  DPS  Grewal,  Jiwan  Kansal Chief Engineer distribution West zone said.

He said that in the paddy season in such villages uninterrupted  power supply will be given and the transformers supplying electricity  to the tubewell consumers in the villages which are overloaded would be de-loaded on priority basis and also all overloading problems of domestic and non domestic consumers will be eliminated.

He said that if a group in a village area gets less power supply due to some technical reason then the said  area of the village would  be compensated for power in the very  next group.

He said that  since PSPCL is a commercial organization and requires  financial resources on a day to day basis for providing reliable and uninterrupted power to 96 lakhs consumers and appealed  to the consumers  to deposit their electricity bills well in time to avoid the disconnection in case of default in making payment of electricity bills.
