In view of the appeal made by the Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi to the countrymen to switch off the lights of their homes on April 5 at 9 pm for 9 minutes the UJVNL would operate its Khodri, Chibbro and Dharasi power projects at their minimum capacity. The authorities are expecting that the power demand is expected to decrease by 200 Mega Watts (MW) for nine minutes on Sunday night. The power secretary Radhika Jha convened a meeting of officials of the all three power corporations on Saturday to discuss the implications of the appeal made by the PM. In the meeting elaborate discussions were held on the decrease in power consumption on Saturday night. In the meeting it was decided that power production from Khodri, Chibbro and Dharasu power projects would be minimized by 8.57 pm on Sunday. The output from these projects would be brought back to normal from 9.07 pm so that no pressure on grid occurs. Jha said that the government of India has made it clear that only the domestic lights would be switched off and consumers should not disconnect equipment such as TV, refrigerators and ACs. The street lights too would not be switched off. Similarly lights of hospitals, police stations, municipal services and street lights would remain illuminated like normal times. In the meeting it was decided that the officers of rank of superintending engineers (SE) and AEs would remain deployed at all power sub stations on Sunday night. During this period all capacitor banks would remain closed and all reactors would remain active. A call centre would remain active at Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited (UPCL) during this period and the consumers can also call at 1912 for their queries.
