Bhubaneswar: TP Central Odisha Distribution Limited (TPCODL), a joint venture of Tata Power and Government of Odisha, is prepared to meet the rising electricity demand as temperatures soar in the summer of 2025. With an anticipated peak demand of 2524 MW, TPCODL has undertaken a series of proactive measures to ensure uninterrupted power supply and enhanced reliability. To strengthen its power distribution capabilities, TPCODL has established a Centralised Power Distribution Technology Centre in Bhubaneswar. This advanced facility enables real-time monitoring of the network through Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS), ensuring seamless operation of 33kV feeders, primary substations (PSS) and 11kV feeders. Backup power provisions and dedicated communication channels at the Power System Control Centre (PSCC) further reinforce operational continuity.
As part of its summer preparedness initiative, TPCODL has: Added 152 MVA to the sub-transmission network by upgrading power transformers and substations. Added 181 MVA capacity to the distribution Network by3 augmentation & addition of new Distribution Transformers. . Expanded the network with 55 CKM of sub-transmission lines, 1126 CKM of 11kV lines and 383 CKM of LT network.
. Improved voltage stability by augmenting 33kV and 11kV feeders and operationalization of On-Load Tap Changers (OLTCs). In City areas, Hot stand by source has been ensured.
Implemented SCADA-based overload trimming to prevent grid feeder trips.
