The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission has allowed the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) to procure up to 250 megawatts (MW) to meet the soaring electricity demand in Kerala, but slammed the power utility for slipshod planning for the summer months.

The KSEB can procure the 250 MW through the ‘Day ahead contingency market’ and ‘Intra-day market’ of Power Exchanges for the remaining days of April and up to May 15, or until the State’s power situation improves, whichever is earlier, the commission consisting of chairman T.K. Jose and member B. Pradeep said in an April 25 order.
