DHBVN, HVPN to strengthen power distribution

The Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) and Haryana Vidhyut Prasaran Nigam (HVPN) plan to invest Rs 200 crore to strengthen power transmission and distribution system in district Mahendragarh.    

While stating this here today, a spokesman of DHBVN said that under the plan, the Power Utilities would construct 10 new substations.

The new substations included 220 KV substation Dhanauda, 132 KV substations at Shekan, Pali and Mohanpur and 33 KV substations at Majrakalan, Sobhapur, Dholeda, Bajad, Bhilbada and Bhoogarkan. Capacity of existing 33 KV substations at village Brara, Bawania and Nangal Sirohi is being augmented.    

He said that Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) has completed construction work of 33 KV substation at village Budeen in district Mahendragarh at cost of Rs. 2.25 crores.

The transformer of 10 MVA capacity set up at the substation would get power from 220 KV substation Mahendragarh through a 8.5 kilometre long 33 KV transmission line.

It would supply power through 11 KV feeders to seven villages namely Budeen, Shola, Shola Dhani, Blacha, Nim Bheda, Danaut, Bhakhri Ki Dhani, he said.    

He said that with the commissioning of this substation, over 2,500 consumers of different categories, including 980 tubewells, would get benefit by way of increased voltage and regular power supply.

Construction of 33 KV substation at village Budeen would give relaxation from overloading to the 33 KV level system of 220 KV substation Mahendragarh thus benefiting consumers of a number of other villages of the district.    

He said that to strengthen power distribution system in Mahendergarh district, all the overloaded and lengthier 11 KV feeders were being divided and rehabilitated.

Under this plan, 28 feeders in district Mahendragarh were being rehabilitated.
