Berhampur, April, 2026: TP Southern Odisha Distribution Limited (TPSODL), a joint venture of Tata Power and the Government of Odisha, has further strengthened power infrastructure in Rayagada with the commissioning of a new 33/11kV, 12.5/16 MVA power transformer at the Auto Nagar Power Sub-Station (PSS). This initiative is part of TPSODL’s continued efforts to provide reliable, stable, and future-ready electricity to consumers across Southern Odisha.
Rayagada holds strategic importance in the region as a fast-growing district headquarters with a mix of urban settlements, government establishments, and emerging commercial activity. It also serves as a key administrative and connectivity hub for nearby tribal and rural areas. Ensuring a robust and dependable power supply here is critical for governance, public services, local businesses, and overall socio-economic development.
Addressing the increasing power demand in the city, TPSODL has successfully commissioned a 33/11kV, 12.5/16 MVA Power Transformer at the Auto Nagar PSS. The upgrade directly tackles recurring overload issues in the existing system and significantly enhances the capacity and reliability of electricity supply.
The newly installed transformer now supports the 11KV Town-3 feeder, benefiting nearly 8,000 consumers, including households, government offices, and key district administration facilities. With improved load distribution among transformers and the addition of new 33KV and 11KV bays, the pressure on older infrastructure has been reduced, leading to smoother and more efficient operations.
To further ensure uninterrupted power supply, TPSODL has also installed a 33KV Ring Main Unit (RMU) at the substation. This advanced system enables dual-source power supply, ensuring continuity even during feeder faults or emergency situations.
This development marks a significant milestone in modernizing Rayagada’s power network. Consumers can now expect fewer outages, improved voltage stability, and better overall service quality, which will support the city’s future growth and development.
Speaking on the occasion, the CEO of TPSODL said – “At TPSODL, we are committed to strengthening power infrastructure across Southern Odisha. The commissioning of this new transformer at Auto Nagar PSS is a step towards ensuring reliable and uninterrupted power supply. This will greatly benefit the people of Rayagada and support the district’s growing energy needs.”
TPSODL remains dedicated to enhancing customer satisfaction through continuous infrastructure upgrades and ensuring quality power supply for all.
