LAHORE: The Lahore Electric Supply Company (Lesco) on Monday energised the newly-built 132kV Walton Grid Station.

The new grid will give relief to the overloaded grid stations of Old Kot Lakhpat, Lifo and Township as well as improve voltage in several residential and commercial localities in the Lahore city district.

“Our main focus is to strengthen the company’s 132kV grid and transmission lines system,” Lesco CEO Chaudhry Muhammad Amin said after he inaugurated the grid.

The Lesco chief said the company’s respective departments have removed several system constraints in a bid to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the consumers during the month of Ramzan.

“We have created and energised 50 new 11kV feeders, carried out maintenance at 2,307km of the total 3110km long 132kV transmission lines, trimming of trees and addition of new transformers and other equipment,” he said.
