As part of its transmission enhancement project TP-1000, KE has completed laying an underground transmission line on University Road and handed it over to KMC for completion and carpeting as per agreement. In a statement, KE spokesman said work was initiated on this 220KVA double circuit underground transmission line following prior intimation to all relevant authorities, including KMC, DMC and DIG Traffic. He said work began after having received all relevant approvals.
This portion of development work was completed within stipulated time, for which KE teams have worked round the clock. Completion of this double circuit transmission network will result in enhanced power supply reliability and stability for areas of Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, surroundings of Jail road, Azizabad and Civic Centre. The TP-1000 is a US$ 460 million transmission enhancement project by K-Electric which would enable the utility to transmit additional 800MW through additional seven grid stations and a number of new transmission lines.
