Kerala Officials Confirm No Disagreement on Power Procurement Plans
Kerala's Electricity Minister Sunny Joseph stated there are no differences with Chief Minister V D Satheesan regarding power procurement. The government is exploring long-term agreements to meet rising demand but has not entered into any deal with private platform General Network Access (GNA). While the proposed GNA rates appeared lower, practical challenges, including continuous power purchase requirements, led to no agreement. Joseph dismissed claims of exaggerating a power crisis, emphasizing ongoing efforts to secure future electricity needs amid seasonal demand fluctuations.
