Load-shedding hours to be reduced

The load-shedding hours have been unofficially reduced, according to the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA).

Before this, the NEA had increased the load-shedding hours to 97 a week effective from January 19. The period of power outage before this was 84 hours a week since December 26, 2012. 

Chief of the power dispatch centre at NEA, Bhuwan Kumar Chhetri, said that the load-shedding hours have been reduced on a trial basis without issuing the load-shedding schedule after the supply of 25 Megawatt power from India was resumed.

Chhetri said that the load-shedding timetable could be changed looking at the supply of electricity by India.
