India, Goa: Sterlite Power has commissioned three key elements of its Goa-Tamnar Transmission Project, implemented by special purpose vehicle “Goa Tamnar Transmission Ltd.” The company said that the project strengthens Goa’s infrastructure with four vital elements, three of which have now been successfully commissioned. The final component, the Xeldem-Narendra transmission line, is expected to commence soon. This project brings Goa’s first 400 kV gas-insulated substation (GIS) at Dharbandora live, providing high-quality power supply that reaches South Goa.
Arun Sharma, CEO, Infrastructure Business, Sterlite Power, commented: “This project is a crucial step forward in strengthening Goa’s power infrastructure. By addressing key gaps and bringing advanced technology like the GIS substation to the state, we are ensuring a more stable and reliable power supply for the people and businesses of Goa, which will further boost tourism and add to the economy. It’s a proud moment for our team, and a reminder of what’s possible when vision and collaboration come together.”
The infrastructure is expected to stabilize power delivery by minimizing outages, and will enable high-quality power supply across industrial, commercial, and residential segments. The enhanced transmission capacity is set to provide a direct feed from the Dharbandora substation to South Goa, reducing the load on existing substations and making the network more resilient against fluctuations.
