Southern states to get affordable power in two years: Goyal

Published on: 

The Centre has formulated a Rs27,000 crore project for generating 6,000 mw power in another two years to provide 24x7 affordable electricity to southern states, Power Minister Piyush Goyal said on Saturday. He attributed insufficient transmission facility as a reason for not being able to bring adequate electricity to South India, particularly to Tamil Nadu. Blaming the previous UPA government for not taking enough steps to create adequate power grid and transmission facilities, he said under the new scheme South India will benefit through getting uninterrupted, adequate and affordable power.
