Reliable power supply to the inhabitants of remote areas in the foot hills of the Himalayas


Around 20 substations in Himachal Pradesh – the foothills of the Himalayas are under upgradation in a bid to offer 24x7 reliable power for all across regions. The substations are being equipped with the latest control and protection technology to enable future digitalization. This is an effort by the Himachal Pradesh government to supports India’s Smart Grid Vision and the government’s ambition of providing reliable power to the country’s most remote regions.

A digital substation is a key part to enabling a smarter grid. Digital communications via fiber optic cables replace traditional copper connections using analog signals, increasing safety, flexibility and availability, while reducing cost, risk and environmental impact.

Towards development of India’s power infrastructure across challenging terrains recently the Khandukhal substation commissioned in the mountainous state of Uttarakhand, which evacuates power generated from the rivers of the northern state and integrates it with the national grid
