GE T&D India Wins Major Contract from Power Grid Corporation

GE T&D India Ltd., a subsidiary of GE Vernova's electrification business, has been awarded a contract by Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (PGCIL) to construct a State Transmission Asset Management Centre (STAMC) in Odisha. This project, undertaken for Odisha Power Transmission Corporation Limited (OPTCL), aims to enhance grid operations through advanced technology.

The STAMC is designed to enable OPTCL to operate the grid with real-time monitoring and control, providing greater efficiency and reliability. Once completed, the substations in Odisha will be remotely managed using advanced grid software solutions, including supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), video monitoring, remote accessibility, and automated fault analysis systems. These technologies will be installed at four key locations across the state.

Sandeep Zanzaria, Managing Director and CEO of GE T&D India, commented on the project, stating, "Our innovative STAMC will help empower PGCIL and OPTCL to optimize their grid operations, continue to integrate renewable energy sources more effectively, and ultimately contribute to a smarter, more resilient, and sustainable grid for the future."

The advanced features of the STAMC are expected to bolster Odisha's grid infrastructure, allowing for more efficient control and quicker response to faults. This aligns with India's broader push towards integrating renewable energy sources and modernizing the country's power grid. With GE T&D India's technology, the Odisha grid will be positioned to meet future demands and contribute to a more sustainable energy landscape.
