Dimapur, Nov. 30 (EMN): The department of power Dimapur division has announced on Thursday that one of the 10MVA transformer was made operational although only 50% of the capacity of the total 30MVA will be available for now.
This was stated in an press release by Wabangmeren Jamir the executive engineer for the electrical transmission division at Dimapur.
"One No. 10 MVA transformer was successfully put into circuit on 29" Nov. 2017. With this addition the load shedding schedule, currently imposed in Dimapur, will be eased to a limited extend as the capacity of 30 MVA now available is still only 50% of the total requirement," stated the engineer.
He also added that efforts are on to further add to the existing 'capacity' however it will still fall short of the total 60 MVA that was earlier available prior to recent breaking down of two numbers o 20 MVA transformers.
"The capacity addition is anticipated before Christmas sets in and will normalize power supply through the winter/colder months," he added.
He also appreciated the restraint and co-operation shown by the consumers and further implored to bear with the inconvenience 'during this unfortunate turn of events and also utilise electric power judiciously'.
