New transmission substation to improve supply in #NCR, west UP

LUCKNOW: The UP part of National Capital Region (NCR) and West UP can hope to get a better power supply this summer. The UP Transmission Corporation has speeded up the construction of a 400 Kv transmission substation in Muradnagar. This will allow lessening of load on power infrastructure during the peak demand period. The corporation at present has only one 400 Kv substation that wheels out power supply to the region. With the coming up of the second 400 Kv substation, the load on the only operating substation would be eased out. UPTCL MD Sanjay Prasad said that he had inspected the substation which was expected to get operational within a fortnight. Sources said that the project was under constant monitoring of the Central government also. The coming up of the said project would essentially serve the cities in NCR region like Ghaziabad and Noida where the demand for power is high.
