Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala State Electricity Board has informed that the state will witness power cuts on Thursday. Power outage is scheduled for 15 minutes between 6.30 pm and 11.30 pm, informed KSEB.

The KSEB has decided to impose power cut after the power production decreased by 400 MW following the coal crisis in India. It is learnt that the power cut will continue in the state until the crisis is over.

Meanwhile, hospitals in urban areas and essential sectors are avoided from the power cut.

KSEB also decided to regulate the consumption by reducing the voltage. It is reported that KSEB can save 130 MW per day through this method.
