While also speaking on his optimistic vision of the future of the country’s power supply, he said a great feat can be achieved in five years.
“I am telling you we can get consistent power supply in less than five years. The new minister is looking at the problems, he is not doing cosmetic showdowns,”
He emphasised that system collapses do not necessarily originate from the TCN.
“If there is a system collapse, it doesn’t mean all the problems are from TCN, it can be from generation, it can be from transmission it can be from distribution. Some of these can also come from disaster. You cannot say it is the fault of the TCN just like that. TCN are in charge of managing the grid,” he added
The Band A customers are prioritised for 20-24 hours of electricity, Band B customers get 16-20 hours, and Band C customers receive 12-16 hours of power each day.
