YEIDA sectors, Noida and Greater Noida to get four new substations

Noida and Greater Noida are set to get four new power substations at an estimated cost of more than Rs 660 crore as authorities prepare for rising industrial, commercial and data-centre demand in the region.

The Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Corporation Limited (UPPTCL) transmission works committee has approved the new 132kV and 220kV substations.

The facilities will come up in YEIDA sectors 10 and 28, Ecotech 10 in Greater Noida and Sector 155 in Noida.

In YEIDA Sector 10, a 132/33kV substation will be built at an estimated cost of around Rs 60 crore, reported The Times of India. A 220kV substation in Sector 28 is expected to cost around Rs 200 crore.

Officials said the facilities will support the rapidly developing industrial area and meet increasing electricity demand from major projects, including Ascent K Circuit and New Holland in Sector 10.

The existing 132kV substation at Ecotech 10 in Greater Noida will be upgraded to 220kV at an estimated investment of Rs 203 crore.

The upgrade is expected to increase transmission capacity and improve supply reliability for the growing industrial load in the area.

Another new substation will come up in Noida Sector 155 at an estimated cost of around Rs 200 crore.

Officials said the Sector 155 facility would strengthen the transmission network and meet the requirements of industrial, commercial and data-centre developments across Noida and Greater Noida.

Dedicated transmission connectivity has also been sanctioned for major solar manufacturing projects in the YEIDA area.

The existing 765kV Jahangirpur substation will facilitate substantial loads for two solar projects, SAEL Solar P6 and CESC Solar Frean.

Officials said the new transmission infrastructure forms part of a wider effort to support industrial, aviation, digital infrastructure and renewable energy manufacturing in the Noida-Greater Noida region.

The four projects will add transmission capacity as the region sees new industrial and infrastructure investments.
