India, Nirjuli: Arunachal Pradesh gets its first gas-insulated switchgear substation.
A new gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) substation was recently commissioned in Arunachal Pradesh, the first such for the India’s northeastern state.
On August 2, 2023, a 132/33 kV GIS substation located at Nirjuli, a town in Papum Pare district, was inaugurated by Chowna Mein, Deputy Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh.
Commissioned by Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL), this substation has capacity of around 100 MVA.
PGCIL is also overseeing the construction of over 2,000 km of transmission and sub-transmission lines in order to reduce Arunachal Pradesh’s transmission losses.
