Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Due to sudden power outages in Summer. To address this, MSEDCL has approved capacity upgrades for six substations, with work set to be completed by April 10.
As temperatures rise, the use of air conditioners, fans, and coolers surges, leading to frequent power interruptions. With citizens concerned about uninterrupted electricity supply during April and May, all eyes are on MSEDCL’s measures to stabilize the grid.
Request for land for a 132 kV substation
In addition to upgrading existing substations, MSEDCL has proposed a new 132 kV substation in CADA, requiring 5 acres of land. Once established, this substation will significantly improve power distribution efficiency. "Land acquisition is crucial for the new substation, which will enhance supply reliability."
