LAHORE: The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) recently completed construction of two new 132kV grid stations to bolster its transmission network and alleviate pressure on existing infrastructure. Chairman of the LESCO Board of Directors, Amir Zia, officially opened both stations alongside LESCO Chief Executive Officer Engr Muhammad Ramzan Butt and other high-ranking officials.
The 132kV Ittihad Town Grid Station, costing Rs588 million, supplies power to four feeders, with plans to add more in the future. By taking on additional load, this facility aims to reduce strain on other nearby stations, ultimately improving the power distribution system's overall stability. The Audit and Accounts Grid Station, meanwhile, will ease pressure on Wapda Town, Township, and Valencia grid stations, benefiting approximately 30,000 consumers.
Three feeders have already been energized, while work continues on others serving Hakeem Town, Khera Distributary, and Engineers Town. LESCO officials emphasized that these new grid stations are crucial steps toward fortifying the transmission system, ensuring reliable electricity supply, and meeting growing demand.
