As per laid down norms, a sub-station has a life span of 25 years. As per the official record, there are five 33 KV sub-stations and thirteen 66 KV sub-stations located in different parts of the city. The project was part of UT electricity department’s 20-year roadmap for improving power infrastructure in city. The department had picked Sector 8, as its infrastructure is over five decades old and its faces frequent breaksdowns, especially during peak summer season. The Joint Electricity Regularity Commission (JERC) has already accorded approval to a capital expenditure of Rs 17.89 crore for the project on pilot basis. The administration had finalised a project of converting existing overhead lines to the underground system and replacement of power infrastructure in Sector 8. Its planning started in January 2017 and the administration had planned to carry out the project after Chandigarh was selected as one of the fast-track cities under the Smart City Mission of the Union ministry of urban development. The project had been in a limbo for over three years.
