EMPOWERTRANS Commissions State-of-the-Art Grid Substation in Odisha.

Power transmission infrastructure company EMPOWERTRANS has commissioned Odisha’s first-ever digital Process Bus-based 2x20 MVA, 132/33 KV grid substation at Rampur in Balangir district.

Unlike conventional substations, the newly inaugurated Agalpur facility utilizes an advanced Process Bus architecture, integrating digital sensors placed close to equipment, fibre optic communication networks, and intelligent automation systems.

“Asit Pradhan, Managing Director of EMPOWERTRANS, explained, this technology enables real-time data analysis, faster fault detection and control, and significantly enhances operational efficiency. Additionally, it supports global sustainability goals by substantially reducing the carbon footprint of power infrastructure,” the company said.

The digital substation represents a major step forward in modernizing Odisha’s power transmission network with cutting-edge technology.
