PUNE: Core city areas, including the Peth areas, will get power from an alternative supply network for 36 hours, as the Maharashtra State Electricity Transmission Company Ltd will be carrying out maintenance, repairs and technical work at its 132KV extra high voltage gas insulated sub-station in Rasta Peth from 8am on Saturday till 8pm on Sunday.
A statement issued by the MSEDCL said the closure of the Rasta Peth sub-station will disconnect power supply to six sub-stations of the distribution company. “The distribution company will have to manage 60 to 65MW load because of the closure. In case the load cannot be managed or if there is some fault, load shedding, lasting one-and-a-half to two hours, may have to be effected in rotation in the central parts of Pune,” said chief engineer Sachin Talewar in the statement.
Areas in Rasta Peth, Padmavati, Parvati divisions that may face some interruptions in power supply include — Kasba Peth, Budhwar Peth, Rasta Peth, Bhavani Peth, Nana Peth, Old Modi Khana, parts of Camp, Gultekdi, Ganj Peth, Salisbury Park, Ghorpade Peth, Dais Plot, Lohiyanagar, Hyde Park, Maharashinagar and Mukundnagar.
