2 substations soon, one for the airport

Noida: Two substations of 220 kV capacity each are expected to be ready by July and October, officials said on Tuesday. These new substations will supply power to sectors that fall under Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area.
According to officials, the substation in Sector 18 is expected to be ready by July end or mid-August and will also provide 93MW supply to Jewar Airport in the first phase. The second substation in Sector 24 will be ready by October. Both the substations are being built on 12 acres of land each, at a cost of Rs 42.30 crore (Sector 18) and Rs 54.76 crore (Sector 24), respectively. They will be connected to the 765 kV substation at Jahangirpur for supply connections. Once operational, they will generate about 500 MW of power supply which will benefit Sectors 18, 20, 24, 22D, 22E among other sectors that come under YEIDA.
“We have built two substations of 220 kV capacity each for supply connections of Yamuna Authority sectors. These are being built in Sectors 18 and 24 of YEIDA. The Sector 18 substation will be ready next month and become operational by August 15. Work is almost 90% complete. It will also provide about 93MW supply to the upcoming Jewar Airport,” Satendra Singh chief engineer, transmission (west zone, Meerut) Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Limited (UPPTCL) told TOI.
Singh further added that both the substations are based on air insulated technique and will draw power from the 765 kV substation at Jahangirpur.
At present, supply to some parts of the Yamuna area is being provided through a 220 kV substation in Sector 32. “A substation of 220 kV capacity has been built in Sector 32 of YEIDA which provides power to industrial sectors of the authority,” said an official from the transmission department.
