Chenab Valley Power Projects Limited (CVPPL) has started stringing works for a 400 kV transmission system to evacuate power from the Pakal Dul, Kiru and Kwar hydroelectric projects, marking a key step in strengthening power evacuation infrastructure in the Chenab basin.
The stringing work has begun for the 400 kV double-circuit transmission line with triple HTLS conductors connecting the Pot Head Yard of the Kiru Hydroelectric Project to the Kishtwar Pooling Station. The scope of the project also includes Loop-In Loop-Out (LILO) of one circuit of the 400 kV double-circuit Kiru–Kishtwar line at the Pot Head Yards of the Kwar and Pakal Dul hydroelectric projects.
Officials said the transmission line is planned to be completed within the stipulated timeline to align with the commissioning schedule of the CVPPL hydroelectric projects. The commencement of stringing works is expected to help ensure timely completion of the associated transmission system and smooth evacuation of power from the projects.
The Pakal Dul, Kiru and Kwar projects are among the major hydroelectric developments in the Chenab basin and are expected to significantly enhance the power generation capacity of Jammu and Kashmir once commissioned.
