LUCKNOW: Energy minister
Shrikant Sharma has directed the authorities to connect sub-stations up to 132 KV with the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) network for real time information regarding supply and interruption in power supply.
On an inspection of the
State Load Despatch Centre
(
SLDC
) and
Social Media Cell
on Tuesday, Sharma reiterated that information about any type of shutdown must be given to consumers. He said extra supply should be made in areas affected by power outages and complaints on social media be disposed of promptly.
Sharma said complaints on Facebook and Twitter should be monitored real time and correct information should be given to consumers in response to their complaints. This will increase the confidence of consumers in the working of UPPCL. The minister also inspected the command centre set up at SLDC for intensive monitoring of transmission substations, monitoring of lines and supply systems.
He said there should be good coordination with officials of discoms so that consumers of the affected area are informed about any planned power outage in the transmission system at least a day in advance. He directed UPPCL chairman
M Devraj
to ensure monitoring of supply at his level also.
Sharma said the government is promoting solar projects due to which more investors are coming to the state. The minister directed authorities to ensure 100% evacuation of the generated power from solar projects.
