Delays in a policy for the execution of hydel-projects are resulting in heavy pressure on existing supplies which, despite sixty percent price hike have had to be sustained by continued load-shedding by the Electricity Authority.
The unannounced load-shedding has affected industries and the Authority has itself admitted that new industries should set up their own supply system for their power needs.
The Arun-3 project is the only one on the drawing boards as at but continues to be enmeshed in various discussions suspiciously smacking of commission-seeking delays.
