Telangana: Power shutdowns unavoidable'

Deccan Chronicle  

Though the 400 KV sub-stations located around Greater Hyderabad will get uninterrupted supply from power generation stations in the State, power shut downs at local level in the city will continue for maintenance, tree trimming and other inspection works. Telangana State Transco officials have successfully inter-connected all the 400 KV sub stations surrounding the city resulting in formation of a ring corridor which allows uninterrupted supply even if generation is stopped at any of the stations in the State. TS Transco Director T Jagath Reddy said the 400 KV sub-stations surrounding the city with each located at Mamidipally, Ghanpur, Malkaram, Gajwel and Shankarpally have been inter-connected. Even if power generation stops at any generating station, supply to the city can be continued from one of the five 400 KV sub-stations which would be receiving supply from other generating stations.
