Command areas under Jharkhand Urja Vikas Nigam Limited ( JUVNL) are reeling under power crisis since last night after two units of Tenughat Vidyut Nigam Ltd (TVNL) tripped due to some technical snag.
JUVNL officials attributed the crisis to short supply from the central load despatch to the two major grid substations at Golmuri and Gamharia. The Golmuri substation received around 20MW against the normal supply of 45MW while Gamharia was getting 50-60 MW against 120MW.
Sources in JUVNL said that the sub-station was unable to distribute power resulting in electricity crisis at several areas. The most affected areas were Mango and Jugsalai localities, where residents had to confront with erratic power supply. The JUVNL consumers also complained of voltage fluctuations at several other places.
