Tata Power, India's largest integrated power company, has commissioned additional transmission lines in Maharashtra between Kalwa and Salsette. The 220kV line will relieve critical loading of the Kalwa-Salsette lines and will enhance transmission and bringing power from outside to Mumbai city.
The unavailability of natural gas to power plants has forced the Unit 6 of Tata Power’s Trombay thermal power plant to be underutilised or remain out since July 19, 2013. This acute shortage of up to 500MW capacity generation from Trombay for Mumbai city has made it necessary for power to be imported from outside the city. The transmission network, especially the 220KV Kalwa- Salsette lines, was critically loaded during most of the period due to reduction in embedded generation in Mumbai. To reduce this critical loading of these lines, Tata Power had put up a proposal to Maharashtra State Load Despatch Centre and State Transmission Utility for augmenting transmission lines between Kalwa and Salsette.
As a first phase, to augment lines between Kalwa and Salsette, an additional interconnecting line has been commissioned as a short-term measure which has also increased the load-carrying capacity and paves way for further planned augmentation.
Tata Power is India's largest integrated power company with a significant international presence. The Company has an installed generation capacity of 8521 MW in India and a presence in all the segments of the power sector viz. Generation (thermal, hydro, solar and wind), Transmission, Distribution and Trading.
