THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In a swift and aggressive administrative move, Chief Minister V. D. Satheesan has directly intervened to pull Kerala out of a looming energy emergency. Under his decisive leadership, the state successfully secured 100 MW of power from Odisha, coupled with additional allocations pulled from the national power exchange, effectively shielding the state from power cuts on Sunday.
The intervention comes as a major relief for millions of consumers across the state. With power demand peaking to unprecedented levels, the threat of load shedding was mounting fast. However, CM Satheesan took direct control of negotiations, coordinating top-level talks to ensure steady power inflow.
Masterstroke to End Power Restrictions Entirely
​The Chief Minister’s office confirmed that high-level efforts are currently underway to eliminate all forms of electricity restrictions across Kerala by the end of this week.
​”We will not allow the state to plunge into darkness. Emergency power procurement mechanisms are working round-the-clock, and normal supply will be fully guaranteed without interruption,” stated officials close to the Chief Minister.
By securing immediate relief from Odisha and leveraging real-time power exchanges, the administration has sent a clear message: crisis management under CM VD Satheesan moves fast, aggressive, and straight to execution.
