Bhubaneswar, 29 th April 2024: As we enter the peak summer season,
ensuring efficient use of electricity is paramount. TP Central Odisha
Distribution Limited (TPCODL), a joint venture of Tata Power and the
Government of Odisha, recognizes the challenges posed by the surge in
power demand during this peak summer season. The surge in power demand
during this period often leads to various challenges such as fuse blowing,
cable and joint failures and transformer overloading, resulting in power
interruptions and inconvenience for all.
These issues are compounded by unauthorized hooking from power lines,
further straining the electrical network and creating hot spots, which can
ultimately lead to breakdowns and safety hazards. It's crucial to understand
that unauthorized hooking is not only illegal under Section 135 of the Indian
Electricity Act, 1956, but also poses significant risks to public safety and
causes losses to the community.
In light of these circumstances, it's essential for each of us to exercise
prudence and responsibility in our electricity consumption. Let's prioritize
essential usage, avoid wastage and embrace energy-efficient practices to
alleviate pressure on the grid.
We appeal to the consumers to kindly refrain from any unauthorized
activities related to electricity consumption and join hands with us in
upholding electricity regulations and safeguarding our community. Together,
let's ensure a stable power supply for everyone. Your cooperation is
invaluable.
