TP Southern Odisha Distribution
Limited (TPSODL) has strengthened power infrastructure in Rayagada with the
successful construction and commissioning of a new 33KV feeder line from
Rayagada Railway Gate (near Shiv Mandir) to the Raniguda Primary Substation
(PSS). The new feeder line is expected to enhance power reliability and support
the growing electricity demand in the area.
The newly constructed feeder
comprises a 6 CKM overhead line along with 110 metres of underground cable. The
line originates from Rayagada Railway Gate and terminates at Raniguda PSS,
ensuring a stable and reliable 33KV source supply to the substation.
From Raniguda PSS, power is
distributed through two outgoing 11KV feeders — Chekaguda and Raniguda. The
Chekaguda feeder supplies electricity to Chekaguda and Vidya Nagar areas while
also supporting the Town-3 feeder. Similarly, the Raniguda feeder supplies
power to Raniguda Farm, Goutham Nagar, Hathipattar Road and supports the Town-4
feeder. Earlier, Town-3 and Town-4 feeders were primarily catering to most
parts of Rayagada Town No-2 section. With the commissioning of the new feeder,
power supply stability and reliability across all four feeders have improved
significantly.
The project is expected to
benefit around 8,000 consumers by ensuring improved voltage stability, reducing
load stress on existing feeders, and providing more reliable electricity supply
to households, commercial establishments and essential services in the region.
Speaking on the development,
TPSODL CEO Amit Kumar Garg said, “Strengthening power infrastructure is central
to our commitment to deliver reliable and quality electricity to our consumers.
The commissioning of this new 33KV feeder in Rayagada will enhance supply
stability, reduce load on existing networks, and significantly improve service
reliability for thousands of consumers in the area.”
This initiative marks another
important step by TPSODL towards enhancing power distribution reliability and
supporting the growing energy needs of Rayagada town and surrounding areas.
