The projects include the construction of seven 132KV grid stations, the upgrade of six 66KV grid stations and construction of 40 transmission lines.

He said once the projects were complete, the FESCO would be able to distribute its load quota according to international standards. He said the FESCO board of directors had approved the projects and a proposal had been sent to the National Economic Council for approval. He said the plan for four new 132KV grid stations had been made considering Faisalabad’s importance as the industrial hub of the Punjab.
