MEPCO energizes twin 132KV Noorpur-Pakpattan transmission lines

MULTAN, Jul 02 (APP): The Grid System Construction (GSC) Department of the Multan Electric Power Company (MEPCO) has successfully completed the 132kV Noorpur–Pakpattan Rail Transmission Line project, marking another significant milestone in strengthening the region’s power transmission network.

According to MEPCO sources, both Noorpur–Pakpattan Rail Transmission Line-I and Line-II were energized on July 01, 2026. Each transmission line spans approximately 27 kilometres and has been connected to the 500kV Yousafwala transmission line. The two projects were completed at a combined cost of Rs 815 million.

The project was executed under the supervision of MEPCO Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Engineer Gul Muhammad Zahid and Chief Engineer (Development) PMU Zahid Akhtar.

In addition to the construction of the two transmission lines, the project included the installation of the required line bays and interfacing work with the 500kV Yousafwala–Noorpur transmission line, carried out jointly by the Grid System Operation (GSO) and Grid System Construction (GSC) departments.

Additional Chief Engineer GSC Syed Muhammad Mubashar Rizvi said the project would play a vital role in strengthening the national grid, enhancing electricity transmission capacity, improving system stability and meeting future power demand.

He said the completion of the project would ensure more efficient power transmission between the connected grid stations, enhance the reliability of the transmission system and contribute to the uninterrupted and stable supply of electricity to consumers.

Rizvi added that the strengthened transmission network would also support future expansion of the power system and improve the overall efficiency and quality of electricity transmission across the region.
