Wind power generation in the State has been hit, as a loss of 1,500 MW has been reported.

Muniraju, Chief Engineer, Operations and Maintenance, Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC), Mysuru told The Hindu that a drop in wind power generation affected electricity supply across the State, resulting in load-shedding in areas under CESC.
