SRINAGAR: A technical fault in a 20MVA, 132/33KV power transformer at the Amargarh grid station on March 1, 2025, has led to a reduction in its capacity from 135MVA to 115MVA. As a result, an 18MW load impact has necessitated additional distress power cuts of 60 minutes, which will be enforced in rotation across all outgoing feeders of the grid station, KPDCL spokesman revealed.
The affected areas include Sopore, Rafiabad, Nowpora, Sidco, Arampora and adjoining localities.
Authorities have stated that a new 80MVA power transformer is already in the commissioning stage at the Amargarh grid station and will be put into service as soon as possible, the spokesman added.
