In a bid to cope with the situation of acute power shortage arising out of steep demand in the state, the Punjab State Electricity Board has tied up with the West Bengal Government for procuring 100 MW of power on the basis of “banking”, which it has already started receiving.

In addition, the board will get 100 MW of power after getting a corridor from West Bengal.

Stating this here today a spokesman of the Chief Minister’s office said that with these arrangements the board would relax the duration of power cuts from 8-9 hours to 4 hours in the domestic sector in the state. He further said that all thermal stations of the PSEB were generating power to capacity.The urgent repair work on the Lehra Mohabat plant was completed yesterday within 48 hours.
