Ahmedabad: New residential and commercial centres mushrooming in Bopal, Ghuma, Motera, Jhundal, Koteshwar, Shela, Tragad and Gota has led to a sporadic rise in demand for electricity. However, the high demand is also causing overloading, leading to frequent power outages and disruptions.
Gujarat government-owned power companies, Uttar Gujarat Vij Company Ltd (UGVCL) and Gujarat Energy Transmission Corporation (GETCO), have embarked on bolstering their transmission infrastructure in these new western municipal wards.For this, these power companies have acquired six plots from Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) worth Rs. 217.94 crore recently.
This strategic acquisition is for setting up four new substations — constructed by GETCO — which are expected to enhance power capacity in these areas. Additionally, UGVCL has purchased two plots for construction of sub-divisional offices in Gota and Chandkheda to strengthen its local electricity network.
The rapid development of Ahmedabad’s western suburbsparticularly along SP Ring Road and SG Highway, has put a strain on existing power distribution infrastructure, causing frequent outages, especially in monsoons. These disruptions have caused considerable inconvenience to residents and businesses alike.
Last year, UGVCL and GETCO conducted a comprehensive reassessment of the current and future power requirements of these areas. “It became essential to assess the demand for areas adjoining SP Ring Road,” stated an AMC official, requesting anonymity. ” Six plots have been earmarked for substations, and new proposals are being considered,” added the official. Investments in infrastructure by the power companies will bring major respite to residents in Ahmedabad’s north-west and south-west areas.
