Where is @AV Prasanna, the Sir MV of power engineering, whose Trombay thermal plant experience-it has been a polluting power station by thw way, to dish out his advice?
These 8-hour power outages for scheduled maintenance are extremely distressing to the residents. This is much beyond the capacity of most UPS / inverters. So many electric gadgets are used these days for medical support & education support to elders & youngsters. CESC should NOT HAVE scheduled maintenance BEYOND 4 HRS IN A DAY !! Hope the authorities take note to NOT SUBJECT RESIDENTS TO THIS EXTREME HARDSHIP.
Lack of efficiency in power distribution companies must not translate into consumer hardships. Extremely distressing especially in summers.
