The Electricity Department, Andaman & Nicobar Administration, is undertaking concerted efforts to enhance generation capacity and restore stable power supply across South Andaman.

In recent weeks, the department has added 5.5 MW to the grid through the revival of diesel generator (DG) units at the 10 MW private power plant in Bambooflat. The first 2.5 MW was synchronized with the grid on September 14, followed by an additional 3 MW on October 26. These efforts have raised the total available capacity during evening peak hours from 33 MW to 38.5 MW.

A press release informed that the revival of another 1 MW redundant DG set at Bambooflat is underway and expected to be completed by November 10, taking the total capacity close to 39.5 MW.
