Empowertrans Powers Odisha's First Digital Substation

Empowertrans, a leading power transmission infrastructure company, has successfully commissioned Odisha’s first digital process bus-based 2x20 MVA, 132/33 kV grid substation at Rampur in Balangir district.

Unlike conventional substations, this next-generation facility leverages process bus architecture, integrating digital sensors, fibre optic communication, and intelligent automation systems. The result is real-time data analysis, faster fault detection, and improved operational control, all while reducing the overall carbon footprint and enhancing system reliability.

Empowertrans has an established legacy of innovation in the sector, having previously:

Commissioned Odisha’s first QUAD Moose 400 kV double circuit transmission line at Kamalanga for the GMR Group

Deployed monopole tower-based transmission lines for IPCL and BALCO

Delivered India’s first cyclone-resistant transmission line in Wind Zone-6 at Puri for the Power Grid Corporation of India

By embracing digitalisation and supporting the shift toward renewable energy integration, Empowertrans continues to redefine power infrastructure standards through timely execution and cutting-edge engineering.
