Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has suffered an estimated loss of ₹25.43 crore after the recent spell of extremely heavy rainfall severely damaged the state's power distribution network.

As of 4 pm on August 3, the rain-related damage had affected 2,892 transformers, disrupting power supply to 6,56,770 consumers across the state, according to a preliminary assessment released on Monday.

While electricity has been restored to most areas, 63,676 consumers are still without power.

The downpour damaged 349 high-tension (HT) poles and 2,599 low-tension (LT) poles. In addition, HT lines snapped at 248 locations, while LT lines were damaged at 7,212 locations. A total of 233 transformers were completely submerged in floodwaters.

KSEB said restoration work is progressing on a war footing across the state. Kannur and Pathanamthitta districts have been the worst affected in terms of power outages.

The utility said most of the remaining disruptions are in flood-hit areas, where power can be restored only after floodwaters recede and safety protocols are fully complied with.

KSEB has opened control rooms at the electrical circle level across the state. The board has also appealed to consumers for their cooperation during the restoration process.
