Agartala, August 11: The Power Department is working to install 45 electric vehicle charging stations across the state and aims to complete more sub-stations before the upcoming Durga Puja.

He informed that the work for the electrification of railways has been completed and will soon be handed over to the Railway Board.

Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath said this today after inaugurating the 33 kV Durga Chowmuhani Sub-station under the NER Power System Improvement Project.

A total of Rs. 9.76 crore was spent on this project, benefiting 10,945 consumers.

The Minister said, “We do not have a huge quantity of gas as it is slowly running out, and a day will come when it will be finished. However, solar and wind power will always be there. That is why we are depending on solar energy so that we can generate more power and earn revenue. After our government came to power, we have been providing free ration, drinking water, and other facilities. The slogan of the present government is Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. This government is different.”

The Minister also said that if a person uses more electrical appliances without informing the TSECL, the power load will increase, which can lead to power disconnection.

“In such cases, we need help from the public; otherwise, it will damage the transformer and cause further problems,” he said.

The Minister said that the power department is now thinking of new and innovative ideas for the development of the power sector.

“We will use drone systems to detect hook lines and to repair power connections without shutting down supply. We are also providing smart meters for genuine consumers so that load capacity will be known, and when the power goes out, the TSECL will automatically receive a call for repair. So far, 96,000 people have installed smart meters voluntarily. We are not forcing anyone to install them,” the Power Minister said.

The Minister also urged genuine consumers to inform the TSECL about hook lines.

He said that so far, 694 consumers have installed solar power units under PM-KUSUM out of 15,000 registrations, generating over 2 megawatts of power.

“In Gomati, we are planning to produce an additional 15 megawatts of power. The micro-hydel project in Maharani, which was defunct, will be restarted soon to generate 1 megawatt of power. Pump storage will be set up in Dhalai district for 500 megawatts of power generation. We are also working to set up 45 electric vehicle charging stations,” the Minister said.

He also directed officials to complete all pending sub-station works so that there is no problem during the upcoming Durga Puja.

During the event, MLAs Manoj Kanti Deb, Swapna Das Paul, Chairman of Durga Chowmuhani Panchayat Samiti Bhanu Pratap Lodhi, General Manager (Transmission) TPTL Ranjan Debbarma, SK Pal, Chief General Manager, Power Grid, and others were present.
