Sterlite Power has commissioned the Nangalbibra-Bongaigaon transmission line, an inter-state transmission system project which covers regions of Assam and Meghalaya.     

The project strengthens the power infrastructure in the region, ensuring reliable electricity supply in Meghalaya, Sterlite Power said in a statement.     

The project spans across approximately 300 cktkm (circuit kilometer) of transmission line and includes a greenfield substation with a 300 MW transformation capacity across the challenging North-Eastern terrain of Assam and Meghalaya.    

It also includes a 123 km, 400kV DC (kilovolt direct current) transmission line connecting Bongaigaon in Assam to a greenfield substation at Nangalbibra in Meghalaya.

The 220/132kV substation at Nangalbibra is equipped with 2x160 MVA (megavolt ampere) transformation capacity with future expansion opportunity to 400 kV to support increasing load demands.
