Energy officials have decided to set up 34 electrical substations in the state capital before the peak summer this year. At a meeting of the district electricity committee at the collectorate here on Saturday, the members also decided to enhance the capacity of the existing transformers to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the city.
Lands for the 34 substations would be finalised soon, said a LESA official, adding “Twenty-three new substations are expected to come up in the Cis-Gomti area and 11 more in Trans-Gomti.”
“…the committee also decided to increase the capacity of overloaded transformers in different parts of city… The move aims to ensure no power cuts for 15 lakh people during peak hours,” the official said.
