Posted on 12th Oct 2020 02:57 pm by rohit kumar

Mumbai: There is a power failure in the country's financial capital Mumbai from around 10 am. Due to the power failure, the local service is at a standstill, traffic signals are not working, there are jams in many places. Hospitals are running on power backup. In many areas of Mumbai, electricity is also closed in many areas of Goregaon, Andheri, Sayan, Prabhadevi, and Thane. According to the information, 50-60% of Mumbai has no electricity.

 

 

Why and how does this power grid fail?

RP Power's former chairman RP Singh said, "This Pole Grid has not failed, Mumbai's local grid has failed. Due to this, the supply of electricity has come to a standstill. This power is due to a big difference in demand and supply. If the demand is high and the supply is low, the grid fails due to increasing load. ''

 

 

RP Singh further explained? In this case, there has been a problem in the transmission and sub-transmission of the local grid. Due to this, Tata had to get power from his plant, less supply than it came. This is why the entire distribution got messed up. It has to be seen that the source of supply to big cities like Mumbai should be from two places, if the grid fails, then from another place.

 

 

How much damage to Mumbai due to grid failure?

There is an estimated loss of 258 crores per hour due to power failure in Mumbai. With this, it will have an impact on 25 percent of the country's industrial production, 70 percent of the country's trade through sea, and 70 capital transactions in the country due to the headquarters of many banks.
