Grid Capacity Enhancement Projects

To meet new residential and industrial demand and meet any contingency situations, during the year, KE energized power transformers at Korangi South, PRL, Maymar, and Memon Goth Grids under the Hybrid Insulated Switchgear (HIS) capacity enhancement project alongside other replacement/ enhancement activities that has resulted in net transmission capacity addition of 267MVA. New Interconnection Points with NTDC for Evacuation of Additional Power Considering the surplus capacity scenario in the National Grid and to benefit consumers and economy at large, KE has conceived projects of 500kV KKI and 220kV Dhabeji grid stations as additional interconnections with NTDC. These interconnections will enable KE to import additional power from National Grid, ultimately enabling KE to manage the growing power demand in upcoming years. Both projects are accelerating at a fast pace, reaffirming KE’s resolve towards the betterment of Karachi. 220kV Dhabeji grid project is in full swing where grid design phase is close to completion. Similarly, for 500kV KKI grid, land for the grid has been acquired while designing, material / equipment procurement and approval process are ongoing on fast pace.
