India, Karnataka: Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd has commissioned a 220 kV grid substation in Karnataka, the company announced in a release.
The 220/66/11 kV grid substation was commissioned in Sira, Tumakuru (formerly Tumkur) district in Karnataka.
The substation commissioned by the Power Infrastructure and Renewable Energy (PIRE) business unit Godrej & Boyce will connect Sira and its adjacent towns on a state-level grid through 220 kV and 66 kV transmission lines, thereby giving access to reliable quality power with a transformation capacity of 200 MVA.
The substation will not only provide the required momentum to encourage the industrial landscape in and around Sira, which was otherwise in a nascent stage due to the absence of reliable power, the release observed.
“We are thrilled to commission substations with high power capacity that will not only resolve the problem of reliable power in Sira but also pave way for industries to perform better due to better accessibility to an efficient power supply in the region. We hope to expand our reach to such smaller towns in the state to improve the quality of power transmission in future,“ said Raghavendra Mirji, Senior Vice President and Head of PIRE, Godrej Electricals & Electronics.
With the substation, the guarantee of reliable power will be resolved by transmitting electricity to the emerging industrial establishments and data centres in the area. It will potentially expand the industrial landscape in the future and provide a manifold of growth opportunities, the release added.
