Gurugram, Oct. 31 -- The Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL) has decided to construct a high-capacity substation of 220kV in Sector 75 to meet the growing power demand of people, improve the supply quality, and mitigate outage issues in residential areas along the Southern Peripheral Road, Sohna road and Delhi-Jaipur expressway, officials said on Thursday. According to officials, the tender for the construction work has already been floated which is expected to be finalised in two months. A HVPNL official said that the tender for laying the transmission lines of up to three kilometres for power supply to the substation was finalised last week and work order to the selected firm will be issued soon. The substation construction will cost approximately Rs.65 crores and at least an additional Rs.25 crore would be spent on laying transmission lines for powering it up. BK Raghava, HVPNL superintendent engineer, Gurugram, said that the most important factor is that this new substation is coming as a replacement for the one in Sector 77 which has been lying defunct for more than five years due to litigation over compensation awarded for land acquisition on which villagers were dissatisfied. "That station was supposed to strengthen the power supply in areas of sectors 69, 70, 73, 74, 75, 76, 78, 79 and sectors 81 to 95 along the three crucial roads in which large-scale residential projects of townships, societies and business parks are coming up fast. Thus, a decision was taken to build a substation at Sector 75 on priority," said Raghava. HVPNL officials said that a three-acre land parcel was allotted to them by Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) at Sector 75 in 2016. A senior official said that the upcoming Sector 75 substation will be connected with the two 400kV substations at Sakatpur, Sohna and another at Panchgaon. "We already have transmission lines from these two high-capacity substations laid up to the defunct Sector 77 substation," he said. "The time period to complete laying down the additional transmission line of 3kms is one year, while a 15-months deadline will be for the firm that will be selected for substation construction. We expect that it will be ready by mid 2027," he said. Meanwhile, HVPNL officials said that they have moved to the Supreme Court to allow them to lift equipment including transformers and control panels worth approximately Rs.50 crore from the Sector 77 substation so that they could be used somewhere else....
