This new 400 KV transmission connection will help meet the city's growing electricity demand and will eventually increase electricity distribution to 15,000 MW.
If approved, this project could take four to five years to complete and cost around Rs 10 billion. The transmission line will be shaped like a ring with two hemispheres of 30 km each. When one hemisphere fails, the other acts as a failsafe.
Presently, 110 KV and 220 KV lines supply Mumbai's 3,500 Megawatt demand.
According to Tata Power, there will be no power shortages in Mumbai this summer and tax growth would be lower than national tax growth.
Tata Power is responsible for about 70% of mumbai's electricity transmission. Mumbai experienced a power outage on October 12, 2020 that lasted up to 12 hours in certain locations. After that, there were two more failures, both of lesser severity. Mumbai's peak power consumption is expected to reach 4,000 MW this summer, up from 3,300 MW in recent days as temperatures rise. Over the past five years, the company has invested Rs 23 billion in upgrading its transmission infrastructure, including replacing more than 90% of its legacy systems. The company plans to invest an additional Rs 7 billion in the coming fiscal year to improve its transmission capacity.
