The minister, accompanied by power department executive engineer N Neikha, also held a meeting with village council representatives, and other leaders of Lozhaphuhu, Tezatse and Kotis hamlets in the district during the visit.
"The government is making all efforts to study feasibility of power projects in the state, including the one at Tizu. The villagers, during the recent meet, have assured us that they would cooperate with the state government for the Tizu power project," Kronu added.
According to the 2017-18 administrative report of the power department, the state's energy consumption during peak hours is tipped at 165 MW and off-peak hours at 100MW.
