India, Pulwama: Jammu and Kashmir Power Development Department has recently commissioned the first gas-insulated substation (GIS) in Pulwama’s Lassipora area.
The GIS has given a boost to electricity supply in the area.
According to officials, it is the first GIS of Jammu and Kashmir Transmission Corporation Limited (JKPTCL) which has been commissioned in Union Territory recently and started working.
Locals in Pulwama lauded this step taken by the Jammu and Kashmir administration as it will solve their long-pending demand for power during the winter season in the Kashmir valley.
“This GIS has a lot of advantages like it has zero maintenance for five years. The power crisis has reduced to almost 90 percent. For now, this grid is only 50 percent loaded,” said Gulzar Ahmad, Junior Engineer and in charge of Jammu and Kashmir Power Development Department.
