Emergency load shedding hits Garkheda: Rising demand strains power supply

10 MVA power transformer in the 33 KV Sutgirni substation is getting overloaded

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar : Due to increasing temperature and subsequent demand for electricity, MSEDCL may have to carry out emergency load shedding on some feeders in the Garkheda area. However, MSEDCL has appealed to the consumers to be patient and cooperate as the situation will be normalised in two days.

Due to failure of 10 MVA power transformer in 33 KV substation at N-4, the load of 11 KV Garkheda feeder has been diverted to 33 KV Sutgirni substation.
