In a significant development, POWERGRID has successfully charged a new 6.3MVA 33/11kV Receiving Station in Pulwama’s Charipora district. This achievement marks a major milestone in strengthening the distribution system and improving the overall electricity supply network in the region. With the station now operational, communities can expect improved access to reliable and quality electricity, which will undoubtedly foster growth and development in the area.
The Receiving Station is part of the Additional PMDP Rural scheme implemented by POWERGRID as the Project Implementing Agency (PIA) on behalf of JKPDD. As part of the centrally sponsored scheme PMDP(R) Additional, this station aims to address the long-standing power shortages in Pulwama district.
Featuring a single 3-phase transformer with a capacity of 6.3MVA, the Receiving Station also includes four 11kV outgoing lines strategically designed to meet the power demands of villages like Pakherpora, Charipora, and Ziyarat Shareef.
This charging of the Receiving Station demonstrates POWERGRID’s commitment to improving the power infrastructure in Jammu and Kashmir. In just the past ten days, POWERGRID has successfully charged the Ramban-Khilani Transmission line and the 220/33 kV GIS Haripora (Harwan) Substation, further bolstering the power infrastructure in the region.
POWERGRID, Northern Region-II, headquartered in Jammu, operates a vast transmission system spread across the states of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, parts of Haryana and UT of Chandigarh, Ladakh, and Jammu & Kashmir.
This achievement is expected to have a transformative impact on power supply in Pulwama, addressing the pressing power woes of the area. With consistent electricity supply, the local communities can now focus on their growth, development, and overall well-being.
The successful charging of the 6.3MVA 33/11kV Receiving Station in Pulwama district is a testament to POWERGRID’s dedication to improving the power infrastructure and creating a brighter future for the residents of Jammu and Kashmir.
