The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a $148.5 million loan to help strengthen, modernise, and climate-proof distribution system to enhance reliability, quality, and resilience of electricity supply in Sikkim, India.
The project will upgrade Sikkim’s power distribution system by upgrading it with approximately 770 kms of climate-resilient medium-voltage underground and/or covered conductors. Additionally, it will replace 580 kms of aging and low capacity bare conductors with new ones to increase distribution network capacity. It will upgrade 26 existing power substations including the installation of a supervisory control and data acquisition system, install 15,000 units of public street lighting in remote areas, and conduct electricity conservation and safety awareness programs in 28 villages.
