Kochi, Sept. 10 The Kerala State Electricity Board has reviewed the power quota allotted to FACT following imposition of 25 per cent power cut on Extra High Tension Consumers.

On the basis of the review, the power quota allotted to FACT is fixed on the basis of its actual consumption during 2006-07. As per this, FACT Udyogamandal Division is permitted to use 49,07,000 units of electricity per month. The quota allotted to FACT Ambalamedu is 44,67,000 units per month.

As a result, the annual additional burden on the central public sector company will come down from Rs 63 crore to about Rs 35 crore, an official press release here said.

Earlier, the quota was fixed on the basis of FACT’s power consumption in 2007-08, during which the company’s electricity consumption was comparatively low due to shutdown of the plants for several months.
