New Substation Starts Operation in Saptari
Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has brought a new 33/11 KV, 6/8 MVA capacity substation into operation at Pansera in Khadka Municipality of Saptari. The substation started operating from Wednesday evening, and it is expected to greatly improve quality of electricity supply in various areas of Saptari.
The project was completed at a cost of around Rs 12 crore. Under this project, a 10-kilometer-long 11 KV transmission line has also been built. According to the authority, about 15,000 electricity consumers from Khadka Municipality and Surunga Municipality, including areas like Kadamaha, Lalpatta, and Kalyanpur, will directly benefit from this new infrastructure.
Solving Long-Term Power Issues
The authority stated that after the operation of new substation, problems like low voltage, frequent line tripping, and power interruptions that local residents faced for a long time will decrease significantly. It is believed that this will improve voltage profile and consumers will get more stable, reliable, and quality electricity service.
Energy, Water Resources, and Irrigation Minister Biraj Bhakta Shrestha said this is an important achievement towards improving quality of electricity service in Madhesh Province. He mentioned that government’s priority is not just to increase electricity production but also to deliver quality and reliable electricity to every household, industry, and business.
