LAHORE: The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has formally commissioned the 11kV Padhana-II feeder at the Air Avenue Grid Station in the Burki area of Lahore. The inauguration ceremony was attended by National Assembly Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq as the chief guest.
Speaking at the ceremony, the LESCO officials stated that the previous 11kV Padhana feeder was connected to the 132kV Ghazi Grid Station and was operating at an approximate load of 400 amperes. This resulted in voltage drops and increased line losses. To improve system performance, a new 11kV Padhana-II feeder was established under area planning and linked to the 132kV X-Air Avenue Grid Station, significantly enhancing the efficiency and stability of power distribution.
The newly installed feeder will ensure improved and more reliable electricity supply to several areas, including Padhana Village, Rampura Chhota, Rampura Bara, Surja Marja, Ganiyake Dera, Baba Umar Din’s Dera, and Pathanke. Consumers in these localities are expected to experience substantial relief from low voltage, frequent tripping, and unreliable power supply. The project was completed at a total cost of Rs34.446 million.
Addressing the ceremony, Speaker Sardar Ayaz Sadiq said the government remains committed to providing better facilities to the public, adding that such development projects play a vital role in public welfare.
LESCO Chief Executive Engineer Muhammad Ramzan Butt stated that the project would reduce line losses and improve voltage levels, ensuring the provision of quality and uninterrupted electricity to consumers. The ceremony was also attended by senior LESCO officials, including General Manager Technical Rai Muhammad Asghar, Chief Engr Planning and Development Faisal Zakria, Superintending Engineer South Muhammad Hussain, Project Director Construction Mohsin Ali, and Executive Engineer Defense Cantt Aziz Bhatti.
