Kanpur: KESCo plans to establish new electricity lines to link as many as 12 power sub-stations from the sum of Rs 50 crore sanctioned under business plan.
Adjacent to Jhadi Baba Pandav Tiraha, the electricity supply company has been erecting 220KV transmission station in Phoolbagh.
For the financial year 2019-20 Kesco has received amount of Rs 50 cr under its business plan head which it intends to spend on installing separate electricity lines for the sub-stations so that two or more sub-stations could not face power supply crisis at a time.
It also decides not to remove RPH lines in order to facilitate power supply by connecting with old feeders.
Thus there will be maintained option of the double supply. The RPH lines are overloaded and paucity of space restricts distribution in feeders.
Saumya Agarwal, MD, KESco said the amount would be spent on erection of new power supply lines to ease the residents suffering under power disruption.
Densely populated localities would heave a relief after the completion of the project, she added.
