Under a comprehensive plan to mitigate forced loadshedding and tripping, the National Transmission and Despatch Company Limited (NTDCL) has installed and replaced another 250 MVA power transformer at 220 kV grid station Bund Road Lahore and started electricity supply to 132 kV grid stations of Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) on Wednesday.
The spokesman said that electric power system at 220 kV grid station mostly remained overloaded during summer season previously due to increasing electricity demand. Consumers of LESCO were facing forced load shedding and excessive tripping, due to installation of transformers of 160 MVA at Bund Road Grid station. This is the third 250 MVA power transformer installed and replaced 160 MVA transformer at said grid station to cater for the needs of consumers, whereas the forth transformer is in the process of installation.
It is pertinent to note that after installation of forth 250 MVA transformer at 220 kV Bund Road Grid Station, it will be one of the biggest 220 kV grid station with capacity of 1000 MVA at Lahore. This grid station is connected with 500-KV Grid Station Sheikhupura (4-circuits), 220 kV Grid Station Kala Shah Kaku (2-circuits) & 220-KV Grid Station New Kot Lakhpat Lahore (2-circuits).
