TSPDCL enhances transformer capacity in Greater Hyderabad

Anticipating an increase in power consumption in the Greater Hyderabad region in the coming days, the Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TSSPDCL) has started enhancing the capacity of transformers from 5 MVA (megavolt-amperes) to 8 MVA and 12.5 MVA in the Greater Hyderabad limits to avoid power outages and load shedding.

According to power officials, the power consumption in the



Greater Hyderabad region had already touched 79 million units and was likely to touch 90 MU in the coming days, hence to avoid load shedding, they have started enhancing the capacity of transformers.

“As power consumption increases over time, the existing 5 MVA transformers may no longer meet the demand. Upgrading to an 8 MVA capacity allows the system to handle higher loads efficiently,” the officials explained.
