Tripura State Electricity Corporation Ltd (TSECL) has initiated a process to upgrade its transmission system by setting up a 400 KV power substation in West Tripura district, a minister said. As part of the plan, the 132 KV power substation at Suryamaninagar in West Tripura district will be converted into a 400 KV unit with an estimated cost of Rs 191.20 crore.<\/p>\n
“If the facility is created at Suryamaninagar, the existing unit will be a hub from where power will be distributed not only for the state but also in Bangladesh”, Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath told reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Nath, accompanied by power secretary Abhishek Singh and managing TSECL managing director Debasish Sarkar visited the existing sub-station for his massive facelift.<\/p>\n
Power, produced in the northeastern state, will be accumulated at Suryamaninagar sub-station making it a power hub, he said, adding the state is trying to get funds for the facelift of the existing unit.<\/p>\n
According to the minister, the state’s power demand will be increased from 393 MW in 2023-24 to 703 MW by 2030-31.<\/p>\n
Besides, the power export may increase from 100 MW to 200 MW during the period as assessed by the Centre.<\/p>\n
“To meet the future demand, TSECL is not only increasing its production but also trying to boost its transmission system effectively. Power generation from the Rokhia gas-based project will be increased from 63 MW to 120 MW,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
