Commonwealth Games Village gets dedicated power grid
NEW DELHI: The Commonwealth Games Village on Saturday got a dedicated power sub-station, the first green grid in north India. Officials said the grid would help meet power demand at the Village during the Games and provide relief to nearly two lakh people residing in nearby areas.
The Rs 40-crore Commonwealth Grid sub-station with an a capacity of 66/11KV was inaugurated by chief minister Sheila Dikshit. She said the facility will distribute around 50MW electricity to the Village as well as adjoining localities. "Not only the Games Village, but the adjoining areas will get the benefit of this grid. There is no chance for failure with this grid as it operates on a dual system. If it cannot draw power from Delhi, it will get electricity from national Grid,'' Dikshit said.
