Expect seamless power supply, prepaid bills in Chandigarh by 2022
With the UT administration beginning the implementation of the pan-city Smart Grid project, city residents can expect a disruption-free power supply, prepaid services, more accurate bills and better customer services.
The Rs 241 crore project is expected to be completed by the end of 2021-2022 fiscal.
The project entails full automation of the process—from power distribution to bill generation. All ordinary electricity meters in the city will be replaced with around 2.25 lakh smart meters; the existing grid sub-stations will be renovated and modernised with equipment compatible with the SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) centre; upgradation of power lines and transformers.
