Examine if hydropower generation can be shifted to night, Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission tells Kerala State Electricity Board
The Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission has advised the Kerala State Electricity Board to move hydropower output to nighttime hours. The move aims to ease electricity shortfalls that occur after 6 p.m. and reduce reliance on expensive power bought from outside the state. The commission notes that daytime supply is abundant because solar generation has risen sharply in recent years.
