Opening a sub-centre is much more cost-effective for the power utility
The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) is creating sub-centres under electrical section offices for guaranteeing efficiency and better service delivery in regions with a large number of consumers.
In a first for the KSEB, a proposal to open the sub-centres under 11 section offices has been cleared by the full-time directors of the State-run power utility.
Pitched as a low-cost solution, the concept primarily seeks to address issues linked to power supply failure within the time-frames set down in the Standards of Performance for service delivery prescribed by the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
