KSEB invites EoI to construct new substation at Kodiyathur
Addressing a long-pending demand of village consumers, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has finally invited Expression of Interest (EoI) for acquiring 30 cents under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement (LARR) Act for the construction of a 33-kV substation at Kodiyathur in Kozhikode district. The project is expected to provide a solution to power outage and transmission issues now being faced by domestic and industrial consumers in Kodiyathur and Karassery grama panchayats. According to officials, the high voltage transmission lines from 110 kV substation at Augustianmuzhi or the 220 kV substation at Areekode can be connected to the new rural substation on completion of the work to streamline power supply. It was in 2010 that an official declaration related to the construction of a new substation in Kodiyathur village came from the authorities. However, the project got delayed for 15 years following technical hurdles related to the acquisition of a suitable plot. Though a local quarry operators' group was willing to hand over the required land in a rural area at Kottakkayam, it was not acceptable to the KSEB because of some issues related to distance and cabling works. The officials had also then pointed out that the ideal spots should be around Nellikkaparambu, Pannikkode, Kodiyathur and Cheruvadi villages. Functionaries of 'Sangamam', a voluntary organisation from West Kodiyathur, said they would extend all support to the KSEB to find a suitable spot at the earliest as their organisation had been fighting for years for the realisation of the project. Organisation secretary P.K. Faizal said there were several occasions when they directly took up the rural consumers' grievances with the KSEB authorities for action.
