The Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Limited (UEDCL) has completed the commissioning of new integration lines at the Maya substation to enhance electricity reliability and reduce outages across the Masaka Road corridor. Previously, customers in the area faced frequent power outages due to overloaded feeders; the new lines, linking the 220kV/132kV/33kV Maya substation to existing distribution networks, are designed to stabilize power flows and eliminate load shedding.
The first phase included 1.83 kilometers of overhead lines and a 33kV air-break switch, with an emphasis on minimizing fault impact and enhancing service reliability. The project is fully operational and currently utilizes 20% of its capacity, with plans for a second phase to extend improvements to high-demand areas.
In contrast, residents in Colva, India, report ongoing issues with a recently inaugurated LT overhead network, indicating a gap in service expectations versus reality. This highlights the importance of ensuring timely project delivery and maintenance in power infrastructure.
