Commissioning of Venkatanagar substation in June: Power Secretary.

The Venkatanagar 110 KV substation that could considerably improve power distribution in downtown Puducherry is to be commissioned shortly.

The Rs. 44.53-crore power house will be yet another vital link in the Puducherry Electricity Department’s (PED) interconnected grid of 12 substations, including the two 230 KV auto substations at Villianur and Bahour that step down the power to 110 KV for distribution to other substations in the network, and from there to consumer households.

'The final works are going on and we should be commissioning the substation latest by the second week of June,' said P.R. Meena, Power Secretary.
