The Electricity Supply Enterprise under the Ministry of Electricity and Energy has embarked on installation of a power transmission line to distribute electricity in Matupi Township, Chin State round the clock, according to an official from the ESE.

A total of 228 concrete poles will be erected along the 50.5 mile long Mindat-Matupi power transmission line. So far, land preparation and concrete pavement tasks have been undertaken to erect 137 concrete poles. A 66kV sub-power station is being built by a private company to distribute electricity to households in Matupi. The township ESE engineer’s office submitted a budget proposal to construct concrete poles and install power transmission lines to be able to supply electricity sufficiently in Matupi Township, the official added.

Electricity generated from two hydropower plants is being distributed to households in Matupi. Installation of Mindat-Matupi power transmission line is slated for completion in the fiscal year 2018-2019.—IPRD
