The AP-Transco is taking energy efficiency measures in 158 Extra High Tension (EHT) substations with the support of the AP State Energy Conservation Mission (APSECM) and the AP State Energy Efficiency Development Corporation (APSEEDCO) in order to reduce costs.
In a virtual meeting on the development of infrastructure by the AP-Transco with Special Chief Secretary (Energy) K. Vijayanand, AP-Transco Joint Managing Director K.V.N. Chakradhar Babu said a major part of the energy efficiency programme in the public utility had been completed with the replacement of old electrical appliances at its EHT substations with energy-efficient electrical appliances such as 9-Watt LED bulbs, 20-Watt LED tube lights, high efficiency Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) fans, 70 and 110-Watt yard lights and 190-Watt flood lights.
AP-Transco entered into a MoU with the SECM for the implementation of energy efficiency measures in 70 EHT substations in Guntur, Ongole, Krishna and Nellore circles.
