The National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) recently undertook a commendable effort to restore the 132KV transmission line originating from the Jhimpir wind power cluster. Following the disruption caused by cyclone Biparjoy, power supply from the three wind plants in the Jhimpir cluster had been severely affected. Eight towers of the transmission line had suffered damage due to the relentless onslaught of strong winds, rain, and cyclonic conditions. However, the dedicated teams from NTDC persevered through challenging weather conditions to restore the transmission line and successfully reconnect the power generation from the Jhimpir wind cluster to the national grid.
Unwavering Commitment Despite Adverse Weather
Despite the rough weather conditions, the NTDC teams worked tirelessly day and night to ensure a prompt resolution. The damage caused by the cyclone had left a significant portion of the region without power, making the restoration efforts even more critical. The teams’ unwavering commitment and diligent work allowed for the swift restoration of the 132KV transmission line. Their efforts have been widely recognized, and Minister for Energy Khurram Dastagir lauded the NTDC team for their exceptional work in restoring the transmission line within a remarkably short span of time.
Efficient Restoration of Second Transmission Line to Karachi
In addition to the restoration of the transmission line from the Jhimpir wind power cluster, the NTDC achieved another significant feat by restoring the second transmission line that supplies electricity to Karachi. This accomplishment further reinforces the company’s dedication to resolving power disruptions promptly. The restoration work encompassed two transmission lines: the 500KV KT3 and the NK’s line, both of which were successfully restored by the diligent engineers of NTDC.
Collaborative Efforts of NTDC and K Electric
The restoration work was a collaborative effort between NTDC and K Electric. Engineers and staff from both organizations worked together diligently to complete the restoration work of the second transmission line during the early hours of Sunday night. Their coordinated efforts ensured a timely resolution to the power supply issues faced by the residents of Karachi. The first transmission line was also restored by the NTDC, accomplishing the task by 2pm on Saturday.
