THE SALANG TENDREL (GROUND-BREAKING CEREMONY) FOR THE 132 kV GAS INSULATED SWITCHGEAR(GIS) SUBSTATION IN PANBANG, ZHEMGANG

The Salang Tendrel (Ground-Breaking Ceremony) for the construction of 132 kV GIS at Panbang under Zhemgang Dzongkhag was held on 26^th August 2024.

The Salang Tendrel was graced by the Honorable Speaker of the National Assembly along with oficials from Zhemgang Dzongkhag, BPC and International Finance Corporation .

The 132 kV GIS is a pivotal project aimed at enhancing the reliability of power supply in Zhemgang and surrounding districts, including Bumthang, Trongsa, and Gelephu. The project, with an estimated cost of Nu. 413.16 million, is scheduled to be completed within 15 months.

Currently, Panbang Dungkhag is served by two power supply sources: one from the Tingtibi-Gomphu feeder and the other from the Nganglam substation. Both lines, originally constructed under the Rural Electrification Project, traverse through dense forests and challenging terrains over long distances. These factors, coupled with adverse weather conditions such as heavy rainfall, lightning, windstorms, landslides, falling boulders, and vegetation growth, have led to frequent power outages and disruptions.

The construction of the 132 kV GIS in Panbang is a crucial step towards alleviating these challenges, and will significantly improve the reliability of the power supply for the region’s residents and businesses, and reinforcing BPC’s commitment to providing dependable electricity services.

International Finance Corporation have agreed to finance the project.
