PGCIL commissions transformer to ensure power supply to oxygen plant in Nagaland

State-run Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) has commissioned transformer at Referral Hospital Sub-Station, Nagaland for reliable power supply to oxygen plant and nearby areas. “The PGCIL is working proactively 24×7 to ensure reliable supply of power during the pandemic through its transmission network.

To reduce the instances of power interruptions, and ensure efficient power supply to Nagaland’s only Oxygen Plant, Government of Nagaland, and its Department of Power Nagaland (DoPN) urged PGCIL to commission a 10 Mega Volt Amperes (MVA) Transformer at Referral Hospital Sub-station, at Dimapur,” a power ministry statement said.

Responding to the call of the hour, the PGCIL team swung into action and within two days, successfully commissioned a power transformer at 19:30 hrs on May 22, 2021, which would lead to reliable power supply to oxygen plant as well as nearby areas, it stated.

The new power transformer commissioned by PowerGrid at 33/11 kV Referral Hospital Nagaland will add to the power system reliability of BMA’s Liquid Plant situated at Naga United village, which was earlier fed by 5 MVA transformer.
