The government of Jammu and Kashmir has taken a lot of steps to make the transmission system of the power sector more efficient so that there is healthy distribution of power and finally there is uninterrupted power supply for the people.
In this direction recently government of Jammu and Kashmir said that on the transmission front, Rs 7500 Crore are being invested on system strengthening projects which include 1000 MVA transformation capacity already added at 220 KV level; Creation/argumentation of six 220/132 KV Grid Stations and 875 MVA transformation capacity added at 132 KV level.
While strengthening the distribution system, 190 numbers of 33/11 KV receiving stations are either created or augmented. Similarly, 5,742 new DTs have been installed and also 10 projects which were held up/languishing for nearly a decade were revived and completed like Draba-Chandak line and Hiranagar-Battal line.
Under the Smart Prepaid Metering project, 40% of energy consumed will be metered via smart meters by March 2022 during which two lakh meters will be installed while eight lakh meters will be installed by March 2023 across the J&K.
The population will soon enjoy the uninterrupted power supply as the government is very keen to get all these smart meters installed and it may take some time but it will be a real game changer in the development of Jammu and Kashmir as the uninterrupted power supply is important for the industrial growth and the growth of other sectors.
