The Government will take all steps to avoid load shedding or power cuts in the State coming summer, Power Minister M.M. Mani said.
The KSEB has entered into long term pacts with other States producing excess eletricity to meet the power requirement of the State, the Minister told reporters at Thiruvananthapuram.
