Cuttack: TP Central Odisha Distribution Limited (TPCODL), a joint venture between Tata Power and the Odisha government, has completed a major infrastructure upgrade in Cuttack by shifting Extra High Tension (EHT) towers, bolstering the city’s power distribution network.
According to a company release, it involved commissioning of two 33 kV 4-way Ring Main Units (RMUs) and laying 10.5 km of underground cabling to enhance the reliability and resilience of the power network.
