Shaken by the recent failure of the northern grid and subsequent collapse of the eastern and north-eastern grids, the Union Power Ministry has decided to take up the work of connecting the southern grid with the national grid on a war footing, a task likely to be achieved by 2014.
Ministry officials said that after having learnt a lesson from the two-day blackout in major parts of the country, the Ministry has stepped up the work of integrating the southern grid with the national grid that could not only help in efficient and effective transfer of electricity from various regions, but also provide a huge relief to the power starved South.
