In a significant upgrade of the intra-State power grid, the 220 KV transmission line connecting the 400KV Dharbandora sub-station to the 220 KV Xeldem sub-station was successfully test-charged on Friday.
The transmission line is part of Resonia Limited's Goa Tamnar Transmission Project Limited (GTTPL).
The company said, the 220 kV transmission line connecting the 400 kV Dharbandora sub-station to the 220 kV Xeldem sub-station was test-charged on May 30, calling it a "significant milestone" in enhancing power transmission infrastructure in Goa.
"The line is a critical link between Xeldem sub-station and the national grid via the 400 kV network," the company said, adding that the development will facilitate the transfer of power supply to Xeldem and reducing load shedding in the region.
The 400 kV transmission line connecting Mapusa to Dharbandora, along with the 400/220kV substation at Dharbandora, was already energized in November last year, also part of the Tamnar project.
"The project has reached a significant stage of completion," the company said.
The project involved the construction of a 400 kV transmission line connecting Mapusa to Dharbandora, as well as the establishment of a 400/220kV sub-station at Dharbandora.
It was commissioned on a "first-time-right" basis, ensuring that the transmission infrastructure was built to the highest standards of quality and reliability. The 400kV Xeldem-Mapusa Line-1 and Line-2 (52.8 km line length) were successfully commissioned in November last year, the company said, adding that the open GIS substation 400kV/220kV at Dharbandora was also commissioned in November with 2x500MVA transformers.
With this project, Resonia Limited has demonstrated its commitment to enhancing the power transmission infrastructure in the state of Goa. The company looks forward to continuing its efforts in building a stronger, more resilient power transmission network that meets the growing demands of the region.
