Forced loadshedding: ‘New grid stations, additional power transformers needed in Hyderabad’

Business Recorder reported that Syed Waseem Hussain called for new grid stations, more power transformers and a dual-source 500 kV system to address forced outages in Hyderabad. At a meeting at the HESCO Conference Hall, he also proposed a 500 kV station in Nawabshah and new 11 kV feeders to strengthen the network.

Hussain said he would raise the proposals with National Grid Company officials, including extra transformers at the Jamshoro grid station. HESCO chief executive Faizullah Dahri said the utility was working to improve supply, noting that 79 HESCO 11 kV general feeders had been moved to zero-loadshedding status. The measures discussed concern electricity delivery to domestic, commercial, industrial and agricultural consumers in Hyderabad and nearby areas.
