Residents of 14 high-rise apartments in Greater Noida West will soon receive visits from Noida Power Company Limited (NPCL) officials as part of a new multi-phase inspection program. Triggered by recent power outages affecting buildings like Panchsheel Hynish and Supertech Eco Village 1, the initiative aims to assess and improve the electrical infrastructure within these societies. NPCL teams will evaluate the capacity, maintenance, and safety of internal power networks, issuing notices for required repairs. This effort seeks to address resident concerns, enhance electrical safety, and reduce future outages, with plans to eventually inspect all 104 high-rises in the area.
Residents of 14 high-rise apartments in Greater Noida West can expect visits from Noida Power Company Limited (NPCL) officials in the coming days. NPCL has launched a multi-phase inspection program to assess the electrical infrastructure within these societies. This initiative comes after a series of power outages in recent days, impacting residents in buildings like Panchsheel Hynish, Supertech Eco Village 1, and Vedantam Society. Officials believe these outages are linked to poorly maintained internal electrical systems within the societies themselves.
NPCL teams, alongside electrical experts, will meticulously inspect the internal power networks of each society. They will evaluate the capacity of the existing electrical infrastructure to manage the current load, especially during peak usage times in the evenings and summers. The inspection will also review preventive maintenance schedules and records for transformers and other critical equipment to ensure they are followed rigorously. For safety, NPCL will examine the condition of high-tension lines and perform partial discharge tests to detect potential electrical discharge issues that could lead to fires or accidents. They will also assess the societies' contingency plans for equipment failures to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
Societies found to have deficiencies in their electrical systems will be issued notices from NPCL, outlining the specific repairs or upgrades required. These notices will be directed towards the builder or building management, who will be responsible for implementing the necessary improvements to ensure the safety and reliability of the power supply.
This inspection program is a positive step towards addressing resident concerns about power outages and ensuring the safety of electrical systems in Greater Noida West's high-rise buildings. By identifying and addressing potential electrical hazards, NPCL aims to minimize the risk of future outages and provide residents with greater peace of mind. While the initial phase focuses on 14 high-rises, it is expected to be expanded to include all 104 high-rises in Greater Noida West.
