Tata Power : TP Western Odisha Distribution Ltd reduces 11KV and 33KV feeder tripping by 20%

Sambalpur - Odisha generates power more than the state's requirement from its Hydro, Thermal and Renewable sources of energy.

It is therefore important for this power surplus state to be managed by an efficient power distribution company in order to reduce aggregate technical and commercial losses and ensure a reliable and quality power supply.

Prompted by this need, TP Western Odisha Distribution Limited (TPWODL), a joint venture between Tata Power and the Government of Odisha, took over the erstwhile distribution of WESCO eight months back on January 1, 2021. Since its takeover, TPWODL is powering nine districts in Western Odisha and has undertaken several initiatives to improve the power supply infrastructure to provide reliable and stable power to its 2 million consumers. The company has taken a slew of initiatives which has helped it to reduce 11KV and 33KV feeder tripping by 20% (based on the internal operational survey).
