The Kerala State Electricity Board announced scheduled load‑shedding across the state between 6:15 pm and 12:45 am to manage supply‑demand gaps.
Kerala's power utility, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB), issued a notice that scheduled power restrictions will be enforced statewide from 6:15 pm to 12:45 am. The curtailment is expected to affect both residential and commercial consumers during the evening and night hours.
KSEB described the measure as a necessary step to balance the electricity grid as demand peaks in the post‑sunset period. The announcement comes after similar restrictions were imposed earlier, prompting the headline "Dark nights again!" in local media.
Consumers have been advised to plan essential activities around the outage window and to conserve electricity where possible. The board will monitor the situation and may adjust the schedule if supply conditions improve.
