In Noida, new substation set to light up Film City and data centres
Noida: A 400/220 kV power substation will be built in Sector 28 of the Yamuna Authority area to meet the rising electricity demands of the upcoming Film City project in Sector 21 of the Yamuna Authority area.
The substation is expected to be ready by next year.
According to Dileep Kumar Gupta, executive engineer (EE-Transmission), UPPTCL, land for the said gas-insulated substation (GIS) was given by YEIDA in Sector 28 of the Yamuna Authority area. "Tendering has been done. It will be built for over Rs 250 crore and is expected to be ready by next year, 2026. It will cater to Film City project and other areas around Sector 28," Gupta told TOI.
He added that since the Film City project will be launched later this month, the power to the project will be given initially from the 33 kV line of the Sector 18 substation of the YEIDA area.
"A 33 kV line can give power up to 20 MW, which is quite sufficient. Later, the 400/220 kV substation, which is being built under a public-private partnership (PPP) mode through a tariff-based competitive bidding model, will be used to supply power to the Film City project and nearby sectors of the Yamuna area," said Gupta.
Additionally, some companies planning to set up their units in Greater Noida have raised power demands with UPPTCL for their upcoming units.
