Bengaluru Prepares for Summer Power Surge
Bengaluru is getting ready for the summer by making sure there's enough electricity.
The government wants to use extra power to help other places if needed.
They've been using solar power for farms, giving them electricity during the day.
Now, they want to give more areas the same kind of power for seven hours each day when the sun is strongest.
This way, everyone will have enough electricity and nothing will be wasted.
Bengaluru is preparing for a power supply surge during summer.
Surplus power may be sold to other states if available.
KUSUM-C scheme has solarized agricultural feeders, providing 7 hours of daytime power to irrigation pumps.
Authorities aim to provide 7 hours of 3-phase power to other areas during peak solar generation.
The goal is to ensure Karnataka does not face any power shortages.
