GURUGRAM: The building of all 18 substations, planned by discom HPVNL and a part of the 2031 Gurugram Action Plan to reinforce the city’s ever increasing energy wishes, has been behind schedule by at least three years due to land acquisition issues. All the identified plots, to be developed and supplied by Huda and DTCP, be afflicted by issues like encroachment, present inexperienced belt, land now not developed, etc.
Currently, Gurugram requires 1,500-1,650 MVA of energy. So a ways, the discom claims to have managed to fulfil this requirement, however citizens whinge infrastructure woes have led to widespread disruption of energy supply this summer. But with new sectors being developed, and insist anticipated to rise rapidly in the coming years, 18 grid substations were proposed in sectors 3, 15 (II), 29, 37C, 37D, 39, 40, 30-32, 45, 48, 57, 72, 77, 85, 95, DLF 1-3 and MG Road.
“We have sufficient infrastructure to satisfy current demand. But with the city increasing, we wish to be ready for rising demand, particularly from sectors 58-115,” stated Anil Kumar Yadav, superintendent engineer, HVPNL. The plan is to construct the 18 substations in levels, with building of 5 having already commenced. However, the challenge has already been behind schedule as land is yet to be received in maximum locations.
The bodily ownership of land for the 220kV substation in Sector 77 has been given, however a 158 square patch is still received.
Work started right here, however its completion is held back as this small portion of land is unavailable. The authority is now making plans to buy the land in line with their acquisition coverage, or alternately provide a plot in exchange to the owners.
For the 220kv substation in Sector 95 ownership of land was once given by Huda in 2013, however there's no approach road for the substation, and the owner of the adjoining plot is not permitting trucks to go into from Pataudi road.
Huda is now seeking to procure the 60m x 10m strip required to construct the connecting road, while DTCP is pursuing the neighbouring developer to provide another approach while that occurs.
In Sector 45, ownership for a 66kV substation has been given on paper, however the land has been encroached, due to which Huda is yet to offer bodily ownership.
The state of affairs is far the same in Sector 57, where two acres of the land marked for a 66kV substation has been encroached. Huda will have to clear this and hand over the plot to HVPNL.
In Sector 72, land for the proposed substation can most effective be given after DTCP has marked it in its sector plan.
In case of Sector 29, it was once determined that due to land constraint, DHBVN will discover the possibility of a smaller 33kV substation.
For 66kV substations in sectors 39, 40, 30, 31, 32, DLF 1, 2 and three, the plots that have been proposed fall in inexperienced belts. The state of affairs is similar in different places as neatly.
