The teams of state-run National Transmission and Despatch Company Limited (NTDC) have restored the power system in shortest possible time in southern island which was tripped due to dense fog in the morning, it was officially announced
While elaborating the details, the spokesman said that extensive fog caused tripping of both circuits of 500 kV Dadu-Shikarpur & Guddu-Shikarpur alongwith 500 kV grid station Shikarpur. The tripping led to suspension of power in some parts of Balochistan including Quetta and Sindh province. The NTDC teams were mobilized immediately and managed to restore power supply to Balochistan through 220 kV Sibbi-Quetta transmission line within shortest possible.
Power supply was restored to K-Electric through 500 kV Jamshoro Grid Station and 500 kV NKI Grid Station. Subsequently, the power supply to HESCO (Hyderabad) and SEPCO (Sukkur) was also restored.
The spokesman further added that the tripping caused outage of few power plants. Guddu Power Plant 600 MW, Uch- I Power Plant 551 MW, Uch-II Power Plant 380 MW, HUBCO 600 MW and Habibullah Coastal Power Plant 120 MW which after restoration were inducted in national grid by 5 pm.
