more-inIn pursuit of its plan to eliminate outages and enhance network efficiency, the Kerala State Electricity Board has embarked on a geographical mapping project of its distribution network and successfully completed its first phase. The second phase of mapping the micro-level low-tension network, which is almost five times larger than the 11 kV network and distributes power to domestic consumers, would be initiated soon. On getting a complete sketch of the entire distribution network, the board would be able to rectify power failures without any time lag. This is perhaps the preliminary step towards enhancing the quality of power distribution in the State, the sources said. Lack of precise data was one aspect that seriously impaired the network development and expansion plans of the board over the years.
