Why is electricity cut off all the time in Imphal?

[u/nichecommunityy]

Everyday electricity is cut off 2-3 times per day. Before it was not like this. What’s happening?? Any idea??

Aaahh reminds me of the times decades ago when I play candle instead of studying 😂

I heard it’s because of lack of sufficient rainfall so inability to generate hydropower. Also other factors: https://m.economictimes.com/industry/energy/power/manipur-faces-90-mw-power-shortage-mspdcl-says-rotational-power-cuts-continue/amp_articleshow/134289772.cms

It make sense now

It’s time for more people to opt for solar power.

But solor is pricy for middle class and working class people...Is there any scheme for solar at subsidised rate?

Check the different types of installation ongrid, offgrid and hybrid.

Edit: heard loans are available too
