Continuing its effort to strengthen transmission facility across the State, the Chhattisgarh State Power Transmission Company limited (CSPTCl) recently commissioned the newly set-up 220 kv High Tension Double Circuit line between Mopka and Churi.
The line was commissioned in the presence of senior officials of the company.
With setting up of 95 km long Double Circuit line, 220 substations of Churi, Vishrampur and Kotmikala are going to be with Mopka along with Korba sub station. For setting up this transmission line around `75 crore has
been spent.
CSPTCl MD Vijay Singh said with the commissioning of the newly set up line, power supply will reach Mopka (Bilaspur) directly from Korba and power supply to Korba, Churi, Vishrampur and Kotmikala could be ensured from Mopka in emergency-like situation.
CSPTCl is taking up extension of ultras High Tension Sub Station and Transmission line work across the State.
Around 3 kms long second circuit transmission line of 132 kv Kurud (Bhilai) sub station has been recently powered in the presence of company’s Managing Director Vijay Singh and other senior officials of CSPTCl.
With installation of two transformers of 40 MVA, the problem of over loading on single line has been resolved, said officials.
Earlier, Kurud (Bhilai) sub station was getting its power supply from only 132 kv transmission line, but with electrification of the new transmission line, the supply to Kurud (Bhilai) substation is going to be uninterrupted.
The set-up of this line would be strengthening the power supply facility in Kurud and its neighbouring areas. Moreover, it would also resolve the problem of load shedding being witnessed in the area.
As a preventive measure, the officials of CSPTCl have asked the general public for maintaining necessary
distance from the towers, said
officials.
