How is the power situation in your area?

Well in my place too power cut is big problem. Due to this heavy power cut, we have to take an inverter to do our daily work. In our state government is giving free power to farmers and this is creating a lot of shortage to urban areas. Yeah you are right nuclear deal might help our country from power cuts but prices will be high. In our country power can be saved if many people adopt Solar energy producing gadgets is used like water heating, etc. Longest session do Indians face is summer, so, no shortage of sun rays and in this way atleast some power can be saved. But government have to promote solar equipment with less prices and mostly this service will help the farmers and domestic places in urban and rural areas. I hope this development comes soon to every house of the country with less prices.. Hope for the best.. :)

Hi limcy, I am from New Delhi the capital of India. Power situation is very satisfactory here as we hardly ever have cuts these days and when the summer was at its peak and demand for power maximum we never had cuts more than one hour twice a day, which invertors would make life easier. The situation has improved a lot in last few years since the Govt. has privatised the electricity board otherwise before than 8 to 10 hours a day was a normal thing and i remember when i was kid we would go to roof of society to sleep as there was no power at home and even up there it was so hot.

hi Limcy,, same condition here, because i am also from a part of India.. our requirement is more than that we are producing.. and power theft is also a big reason behind it.. and many more reason are there like,, system, sources, and politics also.. have a nice day...

I'm so sorry for coming in so late. I'm also from India and it's the same for me also.

Hello,Limcy! I am from Orissa,a state of the Indian union.The power situation in the state is quite satisfactory.It is a power surplus state.We are not experiencing power cut these days.Thanx.

Hi friend!The same crisis is my place too.We have 5 hours power shutdown everyday.They are even shutting down power during the night times.People are finding it difficult to get their sleep.I hope in the coming days we will get better supply of power.Happy mylotting

I wonder why that happens in parts of the world. Here in North America (more specifically Ontario Canada) and in the USA, there are no problems of that kind at all. I wonder why it would happen in your area. I hear about this on the news quite often, and in this day and age it doesn't make sense to me at all.

Hello Jain I am from Orissa, supposed to be power surplus state, the Hirakud dam is 16 kms away from my home, but we face 3-4 hours of declared power cut and 5 to 6 times of undeclared cuts.. As i have said in another response to your post, i am now in Hyderabad, there is 2 hours power cut , declared and 3-4 times undeclared... Thanks for this nice post, cheers Happy easter Prof
