Shillong, July 17: Managing Director of the Meghalaya Energy Corporation Limited (MeECL) Sanjay Goyal on Monday said with the improvement of water level in Umiam Reservoir, the load shedding in Shillong, Tura and Jowai towns has been further reduced to only 2 hours and for rest of the areas to 5 hours with effect from July 18.

Goyal said, in the past few weeks, MeECL has been continuously trying to reduce the load shedding and it was brought down to 5 hours from July 12 and 4 hours from July 15 for the urban areas.

“Load shedding is being slowly lifted, keeping in mind the improvement of water level at Umiam reservoir as well as to sustain the desired water level during the coming winters and until the advent of the next monsoon,” he said.

Further, Goyal said that at present the State is also returning the advanced banked power to the tune of about 450 million units (in total) which was utilized by the state last winter and the lean season.

MeECL is endeavoring that the present schedule of load shedding is such that it causes minimal inconvenience to the public, he added.
