The Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) has said on Thursday that there would be no load shedding in Mumbai city.
The commission has asked the citizens to reduce their power consumption by 20 per cent and said it would again review the power situation in the first week of April.
It has also ordered the utility companies to keep a rotational load shedding plan ready, which could be implemented if the demand and supply gap in power supply does not improve. MERC has asked Tata Power, Reliance Energy Ltd and Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking not to supply power to neon signs and other advertisement-related activities from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.
It has asked all residential and commercial consumers using more than 300 units per month and all industrial consumers to reduce their monthly consumption to a level of 80 per cent of their usage in the corresponding months last year. Power supply to essential services such as railways, water supply, telephone exchanges, defence establishments and other important installations have been exempted from the cut.
