As part of setting up the power substation, the couple of transformers of 2X40 MVA would be installed along with installation of six feeders of 33 KV with provisions of line in and line out. With linking 132 KV double circuit lines of 220 KV power-substation of Bhilai-3, the power substation would be commissioned and it would be linked with all 33/11 KV power-substations around Chhaoni area, thereby enhancing the capacity to sustain the increasing power supply load.
