The substations are to come up at NSEZ, Sector 80 and sectors 132, 8, 65 and 94, and are expected to benefit consumers in about 30 sectors.\n\n## Six Substations Nearing Completion in Noida\n\nWork on the six substations is in its final stages, with the installation of transformers and earthing systems actively taking place, officials said. The department's festive work also includes tree trimming and repairs of vulnerable power lines to ensure uninterrupted supply during the season.\n\nNoida is currently observing a maintenance month, with the power department focusing on cleaning and repairing equipment at various substations. Vivek Kumar Patel, superintending engineer (Technical) at the Noida power department, PVVNL, said the ongoing maintenance work will enhance the power infrastructure in several key sectors, including 11, 12, 15, 20, 19, 22 and 27.\n\n\"We are committed to improving our services and ensuring an uninterrupted power supply for all consumers,\" Patel stated. He added that the commissioning of the substations will provide reliable power supply and alleviate the load on existing nearby substations, reducing the risk of transformer burnouts.\n\n## Noida Power's Greater Noida Grid and Load\n\n[Noida Power](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000eqb6/noida-power) Company Limited is a private electricity distribution utility licensed to serve Greater Noida's 335 sq. km area, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records state it supplies more than 2 lakh customers and served a peak load of 761 MW in FY 2025-26, up from 17 MW in FY 1994-95. The utility was founded in 1993 and is headquartered in Greater Noida.\n\n## Earlier Noida Power Developments This Year\n\nIn September 2026, a damaged underground cable in Noida Sector 53 caused power disruptions for nearly 10 days, forcing the electricity department to reroute load to Feeder No 1, The Times of India reported. The additional burden triggered voltage fluctuations, burnt insulators and phase failures.\n\nIn July 2026, Noida Power Company Ltd commissioned Gautam Budh Nagar's first rooftop solar power project at the Arihant Arden high-rise residential society in Greater Noida West, The Times of India reported. In June 2026, the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission rejected Noida Power Company Ltd's proposal to procure 300 MW of hybrid renewable power, BusinessLine reported, directing the utility to contract long-term firm power from coal-based plants or round-the-clock renewable sources.\n\n## Twelve More Substations Targeted by March 2027\n\nPatel said the department has planned further expansion, with a target to operationalise 12 additional substations by March 2027. \"The ongoing efforts to enhance the power capacity are aimed at eliminating power outages, ensuring that residents enjoy a festive season without interruptions,\" he said.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
